"Thank you for trying Space Merchant in Early Access! The game currently is in a demo state while we add new features. We may also reset saves with our updates."
is what you'll see upon first loading the game. Not sure why that's not at all reflected on the game page itself, but an idler with potential save deletions, nevermind one being viewed as a demo by its developer, has very niche appeal. While I'm glad it's mentioned SOMEWHERE, it's still wasting the time of a lot of us by not making the information more readily visible.
Add in that it's a clear mobile port by its phone-shaped window, and that the game is unstable enough that it crashed in the loading menu, and that most of the reviews to date are negative, and I'm finding it impossible to muster up the energy to try this "demo" for long enough to actually assess any potential merits. Maybe I'll give it a more fair go after the game leaves its Early Access stage- though I suppose it'd have to first properly enter that stage for us to be able to (without undue effort) recognize that it has left it.
