Minimalistic sci-fi, May 14, 2019This is a relatively short and easy game, though not really too easy.
Founder’s Mercy is strikingly minimalistic; descriptions are kept to a minimum and the command set is very limited. While this fits the alone-on-a-space-station setting and the nondescript protagonist (is he/she/it even human?) very well, it does leave a lot of question marks with regards to the story. You do get a bit of the back history by (Spoiler - click to show)activating the hologram in the school, but I would have loved to hear more, to understand more. As it is, I was more motivated to solve the puzzles because they were puzzles than in order to advance the story.
The puzzles are all on the easy side, partly due to the limited inventory and command set, but generally not too obvious.
I guess I had hoped for some mind-blowing revelations or mind-boggling mysteries that never came, but still, I had an enjoyable two hours with Founder’s Mercy.
Oh, and I really loved the feelies PDF!
