## The Ensign Reviews in United States

### *---- "This review will get drowned out so whatrver"
Halfway through the game stopped saving my items. Not worth the headache, the game actively mocks you. It's a shame, cause I really liked A Dark Room...
-- BruhBruhBruhRubRubRub, 2024-12-16

### ****- "Great replay quality."
A good game, but I can’t find any contact information. The update is good as well, but it does make some things harder for voiceover users, thus why I’d like to talk to the developer.
-- Hjhhgyhhbggh, 2024-08-25

### *---- "KC"
It’s a little bit too busy now. Little bit harder to navigate the screen without having single or double tabs. Liked the older version way better.
-- Kc n danita, 2024-08-23

### ***** "A fun challenge with fun Easter eggs"
Originally I struggled with the game when a bug cleared my storeroom after one of my deaths, but I kept playing, and now I want to revise my review. I’ve finished it at 100%, completed “the impossible”, the admiral’s ritual, refused food, etc and was given the chance to play in God Mode, which was a lot of fun. I like the story in A Dark Room more but the mechanics of this were more fun I think. I liked the references to other games. 

A lot of lore is packed into the game despite it being a “simple” text game. It’s a shame the developer hasn’t done more with this universe, I would love to read or play more. I like that I can picture the apocalyptic landscape for myself. The ritual in particular is cool. I wish there had been some kind of story reward/ending for when you choose not to engage in optional combat and I wish I could have done the ritual on myself but that is ok.

### ***** "Awesome"
Simplicity while still being complex and addicting is the holy grail. Nice work in the prequel to an awesome, original mobile game.
-- M.Shadows, 2024-07-26

### ***** "Great game when I first played it years ago. Great still"
A game that rewards patience. Enjoy this game and creator immensely. Love how the world is built up with the barest but most effective words
-- Nicknamed1234321, 2024-05-11

### ***** "Dopest dope you ever smoked"
Simple yet epic and engaging
-- Chaz Unite, 2024-05-10

### ***** "Great game"
I love this game. I’ve completed of a couple of times at this point, and just finished my first refusing food run. SPOILERS ———- This could be something Im doing wrong, but I’ve *never* gotten the option to perform the ritual on the admiral. I can’t get the admiral to move past “the purging” vision. I’ve tried entering the murky swamp with the cauter, leaving it there and re-entering. I can’t think of any other combination of things to do to get the admiral to defect, I cleared the whole map. Was I supposed to fight the family for table scraps? lol But seriously I love this game, this is coming from personal frustration of not figuring out how to get the ritual as an option despite having the cauter.
-- bellsbeth, 2024-05-07

### ***** "Creative and Engaging"
This game, much like ADR, is a unique experience and a fun creative twist on a single player version of a multi-user dungeon (MUD). Bravo to the developers for creating a fun, engaging, and creative yet simplistic mobile game.
-- Roosterbrewster7, 2024-02-01

### **--- "Doesn’t come close to A Dark Room"
Honestly just annoying gameplay.
-- Killergman3010, 2023-12-13
