I wasn’t aware of this post, thank you for informing me.

Like i said from the start though, it wasnt my intention to shit on the project. Just talk about the things i’ve heard, my own experience, the experience shared by some friends in the community, and overall post a basic review and overview of the game.

I praise the game, the game-play itself is good. But if nothing else, from my own personal experience, the community can be- a little bit negative to say the least. The scope of this talk has progressed far beyond my original intention, so I’ll leave it here.

I do appreciate you informing me, i did try to look for an official reply but only found a reddit post sidestepping the issue. https://www.reddit.com/r/Voicesofthevoid/comments/1p0s7y7/clarification_from_the_dev_team_other/

As for the writer, honestly i couldn’t find the source, it was so long ago and i had to find a reupload of the original document, i never looked to heavily into it. I’ll fully admit that it could be in bad faith, or false accusations. I have no experience in the matter, i wasn’t here around that time. But its so common to talk about that even now, multiple years later, its almost all i hear about within the community outside of official channels. (personal discord servers, alternative fan sites, tiktok etc etc)

Not supposed to be an expose, just what i think of the game the project, and the community. Tis a review. In which I’m actively preaching that the project is great, but the community and team inst especially from my own personal experience on community hubs like discord, and redit and some things i’ve heard from others in the community too. I’d suggest looking things up before getting upset, you have google just as much as i do.

As for sources you can find them easily with a single google search but heres some, i’m sure theres more but again, its just a review and personal experience not an expose if you’re interested, i’d recommend asking around or looking it up:

Honestly a great game, i love the project what it is and what it achieves, its unique, fun, got a ton of replay-ability. Its free, i can genuinely recommend checking it out. I’ve already dropped a few hundred hours into it personally.

However some of the devs aren’t the greatest people. And I’ve personally had some negative interactions with the community, there’s alot of accusations i’ve heard too. From harassing and “silencing” children, removing negative comments (cant wait for that to happen with my message), scam accusations (due to a lack of progress on development… its free, its not a scam i personally disagree) and being generally egotistical for making a popular game. And overall having a big issue with toxicity especially behind closed doors among some other things I’ll let you google yourself.

Overall great game, great project, shows tons of potential and has tons of replay-ability, just know the kind of people your propping up and supporting, some have akined this to yandere sim v2 in the community if you can put those issues asside, its well worth your time. As for your money, i’d wait to see how the project pans out and gets handled first. I personally wont be supporting it anymore due to the issues mentioned above.
