I took a flyer on this one as well, and I agree - it's got a BioShock/Borderlands flavor to it. I'm not normally a fan of such games, but those two in particular did grab me. This one seems to be doing so as well. It's engaging, witty, and has a certain charm all its own. I look forward to exploring it further.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.
This is known as "bad luck.”
