At every turn, this riveting text adventure, from the aptly named Moral Anxiety Studio, reminds you that the road to hell is paved with good intentions. Your role involves patrolling a looping stretch of road and protecting the settlements dotted around it, the story rendered in endlessly stylish isometric pixel art pulling from a limited colour palette against a stark backdrop. It’s an ostensibly straightforward job complicated by the fact you’re doing it at the behest of a merchant guild, which has asked you to produce a report of your findings.
