1: choose research director 2: build lab and watch him sprint through the research options 3: skip doctors and pharmacy 4: build drone manufacture and let engineer blast a 2x2 free of sediments to build the black market 5: take a big loan and build production rooms in far away places (they're automated), hire workers etc 6: speed up the game while fulfilling all black market contracts for big cash 7: watch the game crash and corrupt your save file 8: find a better functioning game or enjoy life elsewhere

This is why I love Splattercat. He pulls no punches, but he doesn't just say something is wrong. He makes valid points and suggestions to help direct how best to remedy something. Keep up the good work man!

I had this one on my wishlist but will be holding off after seeing the steam reviews.

I think indie developers must understand that it doesn't matter how good your game is if your UI sucks.

Glad you reviewed this, I was debating it, saw you had a video pop up and now I'm happy to focus on other projects. Thanks for biting the bullet on this one, would love to see it do well, but it needs some major tool tip/quality passes like you mentioned, seeing your doctors run across town to grab a cup of coffee then all the way back was painful. Hearing you say 'This sucks for them to do!' confirmed it. Thanks man, always happy to watch your vids to add another to the wishlist and follow up on it later on, hopefully the devs fix it. Could be really fun with long term perks unlocks, endless modes of doing it over and over again, and the art on those pop ups was seriously great, really enjoyed that art style. Here's to hoping they do something with it and don't just abandon it after the reviews smashed it into the pavement face first as of this comment.

It's a shame, it seemed like a really neat idea on the face of it - Raccoon City Prologue Simulator.

This game definately needs event notifications. It's pretty much industry standard for things like Rimworld, Paradox Interactive titles.

Looked interesting, then I went to it on Stream. Yeah. I'll forget about this one like it seems it deserves right now.

This is the kind of game you just kind of let cook for a while. See how it turns out.

This reminds me a lot of Exogate Initiative just side-scrolling instead of top-down. So much so that I thought it might be the same developers, just going for the "evil corporation" plotline rather than the "sci-fi aliens" one. Unfortunately, this one seems to be a bit less finished despite not being listed as Early Access. Hopefully they will take some of Splatt's suggestions to heart and patch it up some, as the idea seems pretty fun and interesting even if the execution is somewhat lacking.

"Sometimes really bad things can happen in the world, and it can be good for business or bad for business." Heh.. well, it was certainly very very good for business that last time around. Yes, indeed.

Looks like a good idea that needs some fixing and polish to make work. Also not a fan of the procedural generation in the game, might need to give the generator some minimum requirement tweaks such as at least one 2x1 space above ground and such. Definitely needs those tool tips though.

01:34 " Things that will launder your money" So no other money laundry mechanic offices such as a nail salon, Chinese restaurant, and Laundromat, etc? I guess the game devs never saw "The Accountant" movie.

Always happy to see your videos release. We appreciate you and your fun and informative videos!

Steam reviews are not treating this one kindly....

Wait, so this is not early access? It looks like very very rough alpha at best.

I tried it myself, all i can say, wait on it for now. the release is incredibly unstable and badly balanced. Employee stamina is almost nonexistent, rending some things like the very important logistic center into a hellisly annoying and barely operational mechanic. edit:(in my new game it was slightly better because i was able to build a sleeping room and a rec room closeby, the room still has more downtime than uptime lmao, and i still dont understand why the game randomly doesnt allow me to research the 2 consumer techs that require biomass. i have the biomass, everythings fine, but i cant, and many black market deals required those...)

Cool concept, I like the UI and graphics, fonts etc.

This game looked quite interesting! Very weird that everyone was running everywhere though...

"The drugs don't do anything, and they cost a lot...." Lol.

Next to police department, too! Bold!

This game looked great, but man the Steam reviews at this point are Mostly Negative with a lot of complaints!

My guy....it is good to see you making stuff again! ❤❤

Bad reviews on steam and day one dlc?

i liked the little bobs burgers in the back

It has a very low review score on Steam, usually when I see that the game is either being review bombed by one side of the ideological spectrum or the other, or it's a bad PC port. However, when I looked at what the reviews were actually saying, it turns out that this game, according to them at least, is a buggy mess where you can't even research all the things that are currently in game. People are also complaining about the random underground layout and how your employees get stuck in loops where they run to do something and are out of stamina before they get to whatever it is they're supposed to do. I might buy this in the future once they have fixed the crashes and balancing, but right now it sounds like a hot mess.

The reviews for this game are BRUTAL

When notoriously anti-tutorial splatt actually plays your tutorial, you know you got issues.

Oooof, cool idea but wow those reviews on steam are brutal. Let's check back in later...

Okay, game aside: Just imagine a universe where Umbrella starts as a workspace/office renting MLM wellness company....

Needs your character to say “Complete global saturation.” Then it would be perfect.

Thanks for the review really well put to provide a solid view of the game any change you can cover Vampire Clans since its on similar vibe? Appreciated !!!

It's got some rough edges but I can see myself playing this for hours. I've always wanted a game where you build the Hive from the Resident Evil movie.

Oh. Can not wait for it to be released on torrents. Thanks for reviev.

seems like a game that could become great with a lot of work. it feels like a game made by an inexperienced team that could use a lot of feedback to know how to improve the game.

Sounds like a more in depth Zombie inc(i think it was) flash game where you ran a zombie corporation to eat all the humans

This looks fun AF

"None of our drugs actually do anything, but because we don't claim they do anything, it's actually legal" Homeopathy in a nutshell. XD

Life is hard, and you do this for a living. I feel like at least there's other people as f***** up as me.

Thanks

Yeah, if it was taking place somewhere in Europe, you'd only have to wait several years to see your doctor for free.

So its basically Pfizer the game, but zombies instead of opiates. Got it.

I actually saw the trailer for this then forgot the name, was looking for this game

My first thought immediately on looking at it is 'Kairosoft'. They do this sort of game. Better, it sounds like.

Umbrella shelter 76🙏 love it

Great demonstration of the game and review. They are so close, yet so far. They need better play-testers or people who listen to the play-testers.

Based on the first few minutes, it looks like you could get by just fine on non-zombie-related generic evil pharmaceutical corporation stuff...

contextual menus is what you meant to say

I’ve been enjoying my time with the game. But it definitely needed to be in the metaphorical oven for more optimization and content

Let's hope there is going to be a Cavin-19 DLC

Thanks for another video!

ah the classic "construction complete" voice in that neutral tone.

Ahhh a game about Pentex :)

36:55 "Simple, I cut away all the parts that didn't look like David." Apparently someone took away his chissel halfway through.

Currently playing this game, it was like Mind Over Magic/Definitely Not Fried Chicken combined with Fallout Shelter. The animation is kinda clunky and wacky. 😂

Endswell. Endswell is the name of the corporation.

3000 bucks for a doctor visit? jeez, here in belgium a doctor visit costs you 1 euro

Damn man, watched the first 15 min and was already in love with the idea but the final look and the steam reviews… Maybe someday it’ll be fixed and tweaked.

The graphics and gameplay look a lot like they were inspired by "Basement" .

6:55 you can see Bob's Burgers.

Good game will defend itself

Silly that you can’t create a coffee shop

How DO you actually do Plant or Infantry research!! I searched through every menu and had all the Labs built + Researchers in all of them but it just didnt let me start the Research! Nothing in the Net or on Steam even mentions that thats a Problem. So please tell me!

Fyi humble bundle has a coupon for this game if you buy the team 17 bundle. I really want to get it cuz the bundle also has a coupon for dredge. It also has 7 other full games including gord and trepang2

Getting it's teeth kicked in on Steam, maybe let this one bake a little longer.

Looks like alternate Evil Genius 😅

On Steam it's listed as "Mostly Negative" right now. It's a good idea and you can see what they are going for, but there's FAR too much missing from this game which you get in games of this kind. As Splattercat said, there are too many QOL missing from this game. If it was in Early Access, you could understand it and cut it some slack, but this is released as a full finished game, and it's anything but that.

Oh man.. I was like "HELL YA" but the steam reviews... man... that's rough.

You know, as a ruthles sorganisation which is only interested in profit, you should be able to buy the media, police and some politicians. Not to mention there are clearly elevators in the game, why not build your own and create some sort of hidden entrance, Dr.No Style? Aside from that, automated production should be a given unlss they expect us to look at the availabel medizine one a ingame day.

Always nice to watch one of your vids Splat :)

Cool game.

As long as Milla Jovovich is included in the game. I heart her

This is crazy, I saw this game on Steam yesterday and searched your channel to see if you have reviewed it. If I were a white woman, I would say that I manifested it, lol. Can't wait to see if it's any good.

I hate that civilians are running around. They should just walk with speed up animation.

I like games from this perspective , bases in XCOM were similar too. Do they have a name?

How does staff suspicion work? In Evil Genius and Basement you could at least trust your goons to not rat you out.

Man, I'd want a refund on that protection money after the driveby.

Here within the minute, looks interesting and wouldnt mind playing it.

Bro that’s the first time I heard my real name in anything media related and I was so confused bc I was like who said my name!?!?!

This was a fun one to watch. I'd like to see a continuation showing later game play.

I feel like you should be building your own office tower instead of using a bunch of tiny, random gen ones. It's a weird choice not too.

Basement is very cool! Did it change much in 4 years?

Reminds me SIM Tower

There is a game on armor games that has this premise.

(22:59) No shrubberies!

Sucks when a great concept is ruined by a few easily fixed interface/feedback improvements.

A heads up from a Balkan. Splatto. Milan is pronounced "Me Lan." Like Elan.

Looks like a cellphone game.

used to be flash game the same as this

Does sleeping and complaining about work count as what a pharmacist does in the free time? If so, this...customer service with a fancy degree 17:12

Looks like quality of life and automation would make this a good title. As is it looks like it would get old fast.

There are Steam reviews now and boy howdy, they are NOT happy ones

Sounds like cool concept,might try it out.

Evil pharmacist... so Dr Doofenschmirtz ??

01:28 - "but if we wanted to start an evil empire where do we start out?" Accounting?! 🤔

Thanks for showcasing. ^^

wait this seems really familiar to an old Flash game but I dont remember the name

Game is to pricey for it's UX and graphics quality.

Thanks for showing us something to avoid for now.

Dude... "Mostly negative... 31% of the 60 reviews are positive".
