Overview

Semi-automatic micro-sandbox with a console interface. You decide the fates, but don't see anything actually going on. Imagine your purpose is just to simulate a human's decision making system, in a lack of information beyond the spreadsheet numbers.

Reception

Video Review https://youtu.be/-SPgVLCyDxs Quick Info W4RR-i/o-RS is a really interesting idea that failed to deliver on any front. It tries to place the player in the position of the main character so that they can live the avatar’s experiences (see Question-based Immersion).

I have love for the sequel, but not so much for the original W4RR-i/o-RS game found here. This is very much a glorified spreadsheet with no story, game, or goals.

There is basically nothing to recommend this game. It might've been interesting if stapled to its successor, W4RR-i/o-RS: Descent, as an additional mode that integrated with the gameplay in that game. But here it is, exactly as the Store description states: a nearly zero-player game that almost plays itself. This is not some secret game hiding behind...
