Thanks for the
preview, Kirk. I've heard the name, but there hasn't been a whole lot of buzz about this game. Good to see it getting more press. If the right lessons were learned from Black Mirror, Nibiru could really be a sleeper hit.
Smart idea, really, to rework an existing game. Provides all the benefits of fan feedback, yet is still entirely new to most of the world.
You're right that some people will bristle over shortening the game length, but if the decision was based on player input, then I'm all for it. Better pacing and tighter narrative is much more important than a couple hours of useless filler.
Gotta say, though... the name kinda bites.
I want to like it for being different, but I don't.
