First things first, it is an Early Access title and has been for quite a while, but there is a already a lot to do in Open Sewer and the studio has already proven themselves to be competent with the earlier INFRA.

After assembling a background for your character you’ll get dumped on the streets of Open Sewer to join your fellow homeless, junkies and other undesirables. In your pockets some money and the keys to your *new* apartment building/biohazard junkyard.

During your efforts to get it into a somewhat livable state, you’ll meet plenty of interesting characters, potential tenants and hazards, all the while juggling a number of needs and addictions alongside the need to actually make money.

Without going into spoilers, the story itself is very much in the background but written quite well, and the atmosphere is both fitting and awesome. The game mechanics are generally explained quite well without being handholding, with the game itself being very stable, almost bug-free and running well even on my aging rig.

The pricetag of €20 is more then fair, even if you don’t go crazy like I did and dump 116 hours into it.
