Oh wow, I think I am in love.

I'm downloading and maybe tell you soon how I liked it.

I can't edit my first post so I add my short review here:

I've played Despotism 3k for about two hours now and it's a puzzle management kinda game.
You play as the AI Overlord forcing humans to work for you and you have to balance the production of food energy and new humans while the pressure to produce more and more always increases.
I find it too hard to be enjoyable. It's stressing me out even on easy mode. I feel this goes against anything what an AI should feel.
There should be an option to make time pass way slower. But let's leave it at that.

 

Now the humour is great, there is a ton of reference to classical Sci-Fi movies that are campy enough to be mildly amusing and the story, premise and visual art style of the game is pretty great to awesome.
