Please note that this is an ALPHA... not beta of the game being developed.

I saw this game on Steam back in April and requested a key. I played around with it for approximately 20-30 minutes and decided it still needed a bit more work before continuing with any testing on my part. No spoilers. I don't won't to prejudice anyone' s opinion. What I found lacking at that time may well have been changed,  as I'd planned to revisit this one in a couple months. Maybe time to re-install it and have a look.

All I can say at this point is that they have a nice concept going on, how they implement it will be what makes or breaks it.

People who prefer more challenge will never use them.  

Realize that all the Mass Effect games, WItcher 3, etc.. etc... have mods that allow a user to become absurdly OP - and it certainly did nothing to harm the massive sales and popularity... if anything, for those types who hate losing, simply suck at the games or don't have the time/patience, it must make such games imminently more playable (for them) and thus makes an otherwise too difficult/time-consuming game something they'll be able to enjoy. 

I think that games that interfere with such mods (or actual mods that overly restrict) simply do not appeal to this group at all..
and again, folks who wouldn't want cheats at all will simply scoff and ignore such single-player-cheat mods.

Just like Elden Ring, someone decided the game wasn't easy enough as it is and went ahead and made an even easier mode... all you gotta do is get levels in that game it's so easy it's absurd, the only way you find the game hard is if you're underleveled.

Is there any kind of magic? If there is, I would want to try it out. Is it just fps swordplay? Then I'm not interested. For someone like me to join and test it out, the bare minimum of information is required. drift boss

Cheating only occurs when there's competition. When one side has an advantage that the other side does not. If this were a game with adversarial gameplay between players, then there would be a problem.

Other than that the only person you're in competition with is yourself. Because of this you decide what is cheating for yourself when playing against yourself.

It is nice to be able to see yourself, even if I rarely use such a feature. Playing Skyrim VR did make me realize how often I went third person just to gaze at my dragonborn on top of various high places...
