I really enjoyed this game, and keep thinking I should do a second “all bad choices” playthrough. Sad to hear it’s getting pulled from digital storefronts, and people aren’t going to have access to it going forward.

    I really liked it.

    The Switch version is arguably a step down from the PC version (not sure about other consoles), but both have their distinct charms. Well worth grabbing while you can.

      Sounds like it’s a matter of their distribution license expiring.

      I’ll join the chorus of people recommending it - it’s a lot of fun.

        I quite liked how they added to the lore of the world without completely turning things upside down. Just some more fun with

        an extinct species from early on in TNG, the Tkon.

        I was a big fan of Telltale games and this felt like a spiritual successor to them.

    Unfortunate that they announced this immediately after the sale finished. I went ahead and grabbed a copy. Thanks for the heads up!

    The game wasn’t too bad for what it was, but since the start it’s been fairly riddled with bugs and glitches that were never addressed. They also wired in a “your choices” system that players were meant to be able to use to match the choices they made against those of other players, but it was broken from the start and the website needed for that to work soon disappeared.

    The company posted the game and pretty much abandoned it soon after, and just two years later it’s being withdrawn from sale and any new player who wants it will have to pirate it.

    This game had the potential to be so much better, and could even have kicked off a series of new Trek stories in the classic Telltale style, but the company really failed at making it happen.
