Pretty cool indie one-dev game, with a nit-picking attention to detail in most unique areas of the game, such as the mechanics behind the "Urge" important aspect - urlid.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
27 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
-Urge exists under the guise of being an open-world survival game, but it hides a pretty incredible story in it.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
14 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The graphics are a prefect fit for the game's tone and remind me of an early 2000's vibe.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.
13 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I am really looking forward to Multiplayer if it's planned or whatever else this dev is cooking!
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
6 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The sound design for the environment, the overall way things look like how buildings have this strange alternate 1950s reality kind of look to them, and The Forest style storytelling of finding logs and notes that just build up this huge mystery outside of what the goals of your character seem to be.
