On 05/09/23, We finally get our first release! May I just say its fantastic. its short of course, but the amount of work and polish that has gone into making the game is honestly beyond all expectations. Great feel, solid dialogue, interesting characters, everything is shining bright right now. I am excited for the next release that will hopefully have more content.
On 01/23/23, game name changed from Project Redacted 0.3 to Null Hypothesis 0.1, weird name, but no new public playable version yet.
I will be changing my rating based on additional releases. As of 0.3, 11/25/22 it's essentially unplayable.
Here's some background information. This game started as a mod for Rogue Like Evolution, which is why there are so many negative reviews stating that this is unoriginal or a ripoff. The main reasons that were circulated as to why the mod needed to exist was because RLE development was moving slow and barely any features were being added over the years.
However, any modder of that game will plainly attest that the code for RLE is insanely difficult to work with. So, despite attempting to work with RLE for quite a while, the small group of developers decided to create a new game. Now there was some controversy here and the projected ended up failing, but without any evidence it would just end up hearsay, as in 'he said, she said'.
A little while later this thread appears. The lead 'modder' releasing this game. A standalone remake of Rogue Like Evolution. Featuring new art, ui, mechanics, etcetera.
As of 0.3, this is still 'unplayable'. It's a proof of concept more than it is a ready product. As of 0.3 there are still a LOT of similarities to RLE which is why you see a lot of responses still saying this is ripoff. The developer so far does have pretty lofty goals on how to change the story and introduce mechanics. That remains to be seen, but I'm excited.
