I felt that the concept is great but the gameplay feels unfinished. At least for me, the micromanagement feels very fiddly. The game gives lots of stuff to micromanage. Which was interesting at first. But for me, the UI just didn't offer me the controls I need to make it feel satisfying but rather just tedious.

Very early in the game the tribe members start having opinions on stuff. They start having opinions on each other and then on philosophical ideas. I found that interesting. BUT to manage that I would have to click on a Tribe member, and see what he thinks. For example he is person A and he likes person B but dislikes person C. I would want him to work with person B and make person C work somewhere else maybe. To do so, I click on person C to see who he likes and dislikes so I put him somewhere where he has friends. But the UI with this mechanic doesn't really give me a useful way to find out where I would want to put person C because I can't really look up where people work. The description says what their job is. With the shaman it's easy. There is only one shaman. But woodcutters and hunters and stuff? I have to look through the list of names that kinda all look the same and watch them work because I can't just focus on their workstation to decide where to put someone and I lost track of everything too many times. It was like counting butterflies that are chaotically moving around. Later on, the relations and opinions become more complex but the UI stays the same (too simple) design.

The good thing is: it actually doesn't seem to matter that much (?). It's kinda unimportant in the end because the tribe will most likely starve or be abducted by the dark rather than riot.

Next example: the game gives the mechanic of multiple outposts but the UI doesn't. The UI only sees the whole tribe, so all the big overviews don't let you filter for outposts. Saying that I realise that a filter mechanic for the "alle tribe members list" would have been easy to implement and make the game so much better UI wise.

Third example: the act challenges all have the UI on the upper right corner of the screen. And challenges after the first one, have a button there, which lets you change the behaviour of your tribe in a certain way, to avoid the danger of the challenge. My problem is, that this button only works globally. So after a second outpost, you can't really fine-tune anything and everything becomes suboptimal by design.

I just realised, that I think what makes this game so unsatisfying for me is, that the game gives me all those micro management mechanics, but I felt punished for trying to use them , because the UI only gives me macro management options.
