City of Springs Early Access

Early Access to City of Springs has sprung forth on Steam, offering Windows, macOS, and Linux gamers a 15% launch discount to this action/adventure from The Naked Dev and Alterego Games. In what's described as a steampunk action adventure, players design and operate (steam-powered?) drones to take down a "corrupt regime and their army of clockwork robots." We can't claim to understand the background to this release, as it seems quite complicated. The Official Teaser Trailer is from about nine months ago, and in another video from that time called My Game is a HOAX, the game's solo developer talks about why it was "completed for over half a year but it has still not seen the light of day." His channel filled with edgy clips, so we're probably part of some social experiment here. But now that it's in Early Access, the initial response to the game is positive, so here's word:
Play as Val, a brilliant mechanic from the slums who won’t stand for the injustices she witnesses daily. While the Queen’s chosen elite flaunt their wealth, ordinary people work night and day to keep the springwork foundries running - all while the ministries breathe down their necks. Every aspect of life in Riveton is regulated, and your rations will be cut if you so much as think about protesting.

Despite this, there is beauty in this last city on earth. People try to make the most of life even while facing resource shortages and the oppression of the Queen’s regime. Val is determined to help them.

I'm surprised the "anti-dei" groups have not gone ballistic over this considering it appears to have a female minority lead championing injustices

FYI, for less than $7 it looks worth a shot.
