Once Human may be a drop in the post-apocalyptic survival games ocean, but it’s an intriguing one.

I’ve had better.
I think it gave up and died from boredom.
Christ knows I almost did.
And it’s too much at times.

Once Human accessibility options
Subtitles, ability to invert the axis and/or rebind your keyboard controls.
And perhaps most surprising of all?

You don’t have to bypass page after page of up-sell efforts just to get into the game.
