I picked this up the other day and it’s great! The SimPlayers go on their own little adventures, party together, and fill the chat with nonsense. I had this one guy accuse another of being a bot.
It’s really worth trying if you’re into the traditional mmo gameplay (grinding). But without the fuss of dealing with real people and their own schedules that fight against your own. For anybody who wants to try it out, there’s a demo which covers the first area.
But will they play like idiots and then offend my mom when I complain? Otherwise I’m not buying.
Ill offend your mom right now.
One review I just read on steam said “great if you have dad game hours”
I am a dad to one year old twins and I feel this comment in my bones.
OMG, fuckin sold! LMAO
Right?
Massively single-player. I like it.
When did .Hack//Sign come out, again? 🤔
.Hack//Infection did a great job simulating an MMO for its time
I’ve been playing through the first one. It’s definitely a good time.
Is it just me or is it impossible to just find a link to the steam page on any gamesradar article ever.
Here you go, suh!
Game is Erenshor.
Thank you. Should be a damn rule you have to link the game in the post
If you’re interested in this sort of thing and like action/adventure rpgs, give Crosscode a shot. it’s excellent

Hi!
Lea!
The people downvoting you have never experienced perfectly regular trees (and don’t understand CrossCode inside jokes).
Respect for the GOG link (gotta reduce Steam’s monopoly-like grip on digital games), but… CrossCode, despite its fantastic presentation, wore me down to the point of not finishing it. I feel like the devs ran out of ideas halfway through because all of the dungeons involve multiple ricochet-angling puzzles, even all the way to the last one. They just got so tedious and boring that I eventually ended up “finishing” by watching someone else’s play-through.
It has an interesting plot, but… yeah. Anyway, that was my personal experience.
I struggled with it as well. My main problem seemed to be that no matter how many side quests I did, I was still underleveled for most enemy encounters. I did read that upgrading gear is worth more than levels, but it was such a grind to go and find all the materials that I eventually got bored. Shame though, because it’s really well made.
I had the exact same thought when I read the premise. One of my favorite indie games of all time.
I’d love to play WoW with this.
You can do basic 5 man content with AI players nowadays.
It’s actually pretty fun especially if you’re watching something on another screen and just like to grind for items/levels. They have a free demo as well so I’d suggest anyone that finds this concept interesting to try it out!
They even have simulated global chat where people are assholes to each other lol very true to life.
@cm0002 This puts me in the mind of the old .hack// series of single-player JRPGs, but from a Western perspective.
If they take some creative liberties with it to give it its own distinct feel and narrative, as the .hack// games did in their day, it could be a pretty charming game once it’s out of Early Access.
Goat simulator had an mmo simulator.
There was also an achievement for licking a friend, if you played at the same time as one of your friends, they may pop up as one of the ingame NPCs.
It’s a great idea, sadly the EQ gameplay does not interest me at all, but I’m all in for the idea of fake players in a single player/small coop only “FMMORPG”. I’d love it if people tried to do this with every multiplayer game before sunsetting them.
I feel like it could be a really clever way of making a horror game
I don’t go for early access games but hot damn am I tempted. But if I lose a roll for a good bit of loot to a bot I’m gonna be pissed.
Just part of the mmo experience lol. Other player is a warrior and selected “need” on a wizard staff
Yeah I’ll be buying this. This is the game I’ve had in my head for the last 5 years
I have not played either of these, but the premise of a dead post-MMO world, PAGAN: Autogeny, seems personally more interesting to me.
That looks like it’s probably a great game for someone like 5 years older than me tbh. I think I just missed the nostalgia train necessary for that kind of game
It certainly sounds interesting
