While i really enjoyed this game, I don't think it merits the 20 dollar price tag. except for maybe the soundtrack

The concept is hilarious and the soundtrack is a banger, I just wish there was more depth and less repetition to it. It's worth getting on a sale.

Very fun experience. You will definitely feel like a Space Warlord.

It has a flippin' awesome soundtrack. Organ flipping, that is... and you can avoid paying taxes while manipulating the stock market to crash. Need I say more? BUY

I was pleasantly surprised by the controls being automatically matched to my keyboard (azerty). Rare enough to be noted.

Other than that it's what it says on the tin, pretty focused game, gets a little repetitive by the end but it's short anyway, also the soundtrack works really well ! Got a good rush from it :)

While you can not pet the dogs in this game, you can sell organs to them and even compete in the organ market with one.

Works for me.

Soundtrack is great too.

At first this game is overwhelmingly stressful. And then you learn how to compose yourself while flipping organs.

This is a fun game and a good project to support. It has an interesting learning/skill curve and it's satisfying to make mod cash by flipping surreal organs. good/10

Funny game about selling organs, paying other organ traders to fuck off, crashing the stock market, buying the dip, and then selling your shares for a 100% profit

then doing it all again

you can easily complete one of the games endings in like less than 2 hours, and in 2.6 hours I completed all the achievments

it's not a very "deep" game, but its rather entertaining, buy it on a sale

the only problem I have is that you can't increase the speed of the game, only lower it

Stylish and atmospheric? Check.
Interesting, ridiculous and fun writing? Check.
Marasmatic events? Check.
StOrY? Sudden check.
Strange and awesome soundtrack? Bold check.

Complexity might need some enhancements. If you came here for a big challenge, then there is a good change you'll get bored after several hours, though the live market session will keep you stressed and stock market will keep you loaded enough, bringing a great deal of fun along the way.

This game is capitalism pumped up to the extreme.
A wild and very stressful ride in the short time-span the player is required to buy/sell/trade organs in, but it's incredibly fun and interesting. Really reminds me of Cruelty Squad, except with a closer relationship to the organs you come into contact with.
Soundtrack is bizarre but very good. Instead of it being a single track, there's layers in the different menus and flipping from one to the other changes it.
9/10. EXTREMELY great game, just needs organ-fishies to make it a solid 10/10.

Came because Sseth gives good reccomendations.
Is it a good game? Yes. Can't think of many other stock-market simulators out there which are as fun as this. The strength of the game is that it is open to short-term bursts of fun - but this is also a weakness; in 2 hours of play I could afford the most expensive upgrades and had experienced 3 endings. Had a lot of fun in that time, but for the cost, this can be a bit hard to justify. Not sure how much I'll be coming back to it, but it makes for a fun game that I can play on a laptop.
Still, it's probably worth it for the music alone.

Praise the Space Warlord for causing an organ bubble. 10/10 Little Joey's Hearts out of Shiftwuxs. Would artficially inflate the liver prices again. Remember to buy intestines and never spend more then 2 average breaths taken reading your requests fellow day traders.

This is a -short- game.

Once you figure out how to read barcodes and break it over your knee, the challenge is gone.

Not necessarily a bad thing, though. The theme and way the story is told is kind of novel.

I had fun with it, but I'd wait for a sale to snatch it up.

NO MORALS. ONLY BUSINESS. Not using that flimsy old appendix? Sell it to the hungriest bidder! Some startup hustlers want a quick buck off your organs? Give em garbage! A hooded figure with only a couple bucks wants gigantic organs in order to resurrect their dark god in all its glory? I'm sure there's some profit a eldritch entity could give you! maybe! so start organ trading TODAY.

If you are someone who is into simple but fast game mechanics and horror-comedy, I fully recommend this game. Phenomenal gameplay and world-building, with disturbing, creepy and silly endings that kept me coming back just to see what other disturbing, creepy and silly endings I could find.

The horror comes from the fact that you are the monster in this story, and the endings are the outcomes of the decisions you make as a trader in one the most amoral, yet profitable, professions we humans have devised. The comedy comes from just how absurd some of this stuff is when you see it.

The creepy endings have to be my favorite though. One outcome has you ruthlessly flatten the competition, another has you build a friendly entity that flies through the stars, another has you form a new religion, and one has you going out of your way to give everyone as much organs as they need. These are not what we would not consider to be "horrific" endings, some would even be considered noble, however the world of Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator frames these as, at best, disturbing and, at worst, the most horrible fates you can imagine.

The gameplay is simple, you purchase organs on the market and use them to fulfill contracts, as you progress you learn to flip organs for a profit (hint: buy mythic souls as soon as you can), and later you figure-out how to game the stock market for easy money, at which point you're just fulfilling contracts for rep, which helps you unlock story contracts for endings. For some people the speed that competitors purchase organs can get annoying, however you can buy-them-out in-game or just slow them down in settings.

As you approach the later endings, progression can become difficult, however once you figure out how to mange organ sizes and conditions, as well as purchasing rep from competitors and choosing better contracts, you turn into the Wolf of Wall Street of organ traders and endings become rather easy to progress to.

Overall I enjoyed killing my free-time with this game. Its addicting, its satisfying, its weird, the musics a bop, and the models and portraits are something out of a drug-trip.

Go play it, you won't regret it.

Hey hey Seth, people here.

Finally you can enjoy a game...no, this is a lifechanging experience for all the family and pets.

This game will teach you to understand the meaning of "Beauty is on the inside".

Two lungs out of 10, masterpiece. You will never see the world with the same eyes (get a new pair if you want) as before, even the existence of people you hate and loathe will become more bearable. Knowing how truly valuable they are (inside).

Take it easy, but take it!

Have you ever wanted to feel like stock broker at Wall St?
Have you ever wanted to help people by the wrong means?
Did you ever wonder what a fresh soul feels like in your hands?

Well you are in luck!

SWOTS will make you feel the intensity of being a stock broker at some kind of sci-fi Wall St. from the comfortable seat of your home while helping good and not so good people to live, survive or to just please their desires for some livers, stomachs, hearts, kidneys or maybe even a soul, but who cares about their needs, right? The only thing you care about is their money!!!

About Gameplay

This is a game where you have a couple of seconds to process as much information as you can to make the correct decisions in the least amount of time possible, quick thinking= big money, The interesting part is that you may want to try to take it slow to understand the bar-code that the developers have created, for example, but this game is no slow ride. The game will push you to learn while you are intensely competing with other organ dealers to buy and sell organs.

About the awesome Soundtrack

Do you remember playing those early 2000's FPS games with intense electronic music? Yeah! This game has that kind of soundtrack, is like a drug that will keep you wanting to feel the intensity of trading organs more and more! I wanna play just talking about it!

In regards the graphics

The graphics are so interesting, it looks like one of those old terminals or computers, yet it looks really futuristic, it makes me feel like I'm selling organs on the black market in some kind of hidden and remote place on sci-fi ship.

I give this game = feelslikeimoncoke/10

Hey hey people. not Seff here, I meant to try this game just for a couple minutes earlier today. You can see my play time is more than a couple minutes. It's a pretty simplistic interface, but the game mechanics are super solid and wow do they do the absolute most with even the simplest things. I bought it full price and it was worth it. I think that's the best thing I could say about a steam game.

As a para-virtual blockchain executive enforcment agent at an intergalactic conglomerate I've been striving for an organ fondling simulation representing you as nothing more but a cog in the machine of organ trade across the time space continuum.

I can tell you these byte sized informational packages will be received by your perceptional interfaces and hit your nerve cluster like the first time you acquired specs of neo-plasmite as a depth groveler.

This is an awesome game which has the single downside of being able to be beaten in a few hours. It's intense, fun, fast paced, and short. The major drive which keeps you playing is the various endings available and the fact that you can get all the endings on the same save file. Meaning you can keep progressing and still get every achievement, ending, mission, etc. continuously, which is great.

If you're on the fence because of the price, check out Sseth's video on the game. It gives you a better idea of the gameplay and what's really going on.

Gud gaem!

Ultimately, the gameplay boils down to buy organs -> sell organs and a stock market. Cookie Clicker has more going on than this game.

It's an experience lol

Has a well executed retro-horror sci-fi feel to it, and the soundtrack is VERY good and compliments this aspect extremely well. I particularly like how the track changes slightly depending on which screen you on, giving you that extra sense of immersion.

Gameplay is slightly lacking but for the most part alright. If the game didn't have the combination stock trading in tandem with cargo trading, I think it would have struggled a lot more. Would have been nice to see stock trading fleshed out more, at least in equal amounts as cargo trading (e.g. messages/storylines associated with it).

Is You Is or I…

I am an up-and-coming Organ Warlord.
I take on requests to boost my renown no matter how little they pay.
a man is threatening to kill me if I get out of line

I am a small-time but established Organ Warlord.
I take on requests that are clearly profitable and make backroom deals with unlicensed organ hunters.
I am supplying organs to a man at a loss because he can help out with our mutual problem.

I am the Cornerstone of the Organ Trading market.
I no longer sell organs to anyone but the highest bidders and a man keeps asking for me to sell him discounted organs so he can clone them and crash the market. I decline
The man who once threatened me is now hanging on my wall.

I no longer trade organs, I pay traders to leave the market for the day, resulting in poor sales, and crashing the price of organs for me to buy stocks in droves for remarkably cheap.
then the next day the traders buy organs at a lightning pace and increase the value of my stocks.

A kid asks me to buy him a pancreas so he may sell it to pay for his dad's medical bills: I decline. I could lie and say it's not personal and is only business, but even the smallest trader is competition and I do love beating the competition.

If you think this game might have an addictive game loop, I have news - it's at least twice as addictive as you think it is.

Trading mechanics in games are 100% my favorite thing, and this is probably the most engaging way I've seen it done. There's something deeply satisfying about, not being the Repo Man, but the one selling the organs. Was that a good price for an eye? What's the quality of that brain? That kidney is literally about the expire, but it's fine because I have a buyer on stand-by. All the elements of a trading work in perfect tandem here, from intricate storage gameplay (don't put that organ next to this organ, they'll degrade faster) and rival buyers (maybe if I pay that sentient dog off, I'll have a chance to buy that high-quality liver I need.)

And the humor is just yes. I love supplying the robot with a new stomach because "OH GOD, I WOKE UP AND MY STOMACH HURT? IS THIS JUST WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GET OLDER?"

One big note: I would absolutely not be able to play the game if it ran at normal speed, I have a handful of medical conditions that would make me too dizzy to function. Thankfully, it has accessibility options to let you turn it down. I was so glad.

Honestly it's more of a "3 minutes to click buttons as fast as you can" simulator. Not a whole lot of gameplay, just picking up requests, and trying to buy them, within the timer for the market being open.

The vibes on this game are killer. Sometimes it's nice to relax and just lean into some trading while you enjoy the retro visuals and awesome soundtrack

The first time I played this game I went "That's it? Clicking on organs is all there is to the game?"

And, for the most part, it is - but that's actually the beauty of it. Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator trades complexity for atmosphere in spades and the end result is a unique distilled experience that only a few other indie games manage to deliver

Trying to outbid a dog named Chad Shakespeare on some organ orders in a libertarian hellscape isn't something I can say I expected to enjoy, but here we are anyway

I wish I knew a word to describe the mode of interactive presentation (genre, I guess) of SWOTS. If there is one already, for games like A Dark Room or Football Manager, I don't know it. A whole game of only lists, buttons, text, scrollbars, and other computer abstractions. Menu-driven? Agraphical? Abstract? Anyways, don't let that fool you into thinking the game is dull. The timed day-trading that forms the game's main loop is upbeat and engaging. The musical sting of the market opening reminds me of the attack themes from Shining Force 1 & 2 (Sega Genesis). I doubt that's intentional, but it tickled a deep memory of mine and had a desirable effect: making the start of a new day exciting every time.

I like the way SWOTS slowly unfolds, from basic buy/sell to fulfilling requests (the main way I chose to make money) to the inventory management aspects once the organs with unique effects get introduced. The scam requests are very funny. I did a few of them just to see if it led anywhere, like a scambaiting storyline, but I haven't seen that yet. After a while, I started accepting and immediately canceling those requests just to clear the requests page at the cost of some reputation. A fair price, I think. Also, I didn't use the stocks page until I noticed that prices ALWAYS drop right after a barge dumps a bunch of the same organ on the market. The price goes back up in a day or two, so buying that dip is a reliable way to profit, though you need a decent chunk of change to begin with.

I think the game has a perfect tone. Most of the humor comes from lighthearted absurdity contrasting with the gross amoral avarice of the situation, without dwelling on the latter too much. I've only followed a couple of the story requests so far, but they've been interesting. A lot is done with simple binary choices. Take the request or don't; answer yes or no to a popup dialogue. Despite being bizarre aliens, these vignettes often humanize the little characters we meet. I love the little hunter. We are friends.

Much can be said about the value of friction in videosgame: those little moments of frustration or tedium where it feels like the systems are working against you and your goals. For me, I've grown to appreciate them as necessary design elements that give an experience texture. No surprise there if you've read my Pathologic 2 review from 2019.When you accidentally buy an expensive rotcane because Chad Shakespeare snapped up the cheap stomach you were hovering over, that's just part of the game, baby! I know they're planning to mitigate this in an update, which is probably a good call, but it's not like they weren't aware that this could happen. You can always pay off the other traders to heck off for a day if you don't want to deal with competition. It's just, that option comes at a price. You can pay up front to avoid those headaches, but you might lose more money overall than if you just eat the occasional misclick, or better yet, turn it into an opportunity.

There was also a hilarious moment, a joke at my own expense really, where the market got flooded with the debris left over from those organs that explode after two days (can't remember the name). They were all so cheap, I thought "hell, let's buy all of these!" So I proceed to fill my whole inventory, only to find their description literally reading something to the effect of "Oops, these are corrosive." So I had to spend like $40k or something repairing my hull. I didn't have a plan, and the game predicted I wouldn't, and made fun of me for it! That's brilliant!

I hope you give SWOTS a try. It's a very fun and unique experience.

Gyious

Definitely feels like an open market simulator. Like all those people shouting for stocks at wall street. But the stocks are organs.

There are also actual stocks that you can buy in different organs for big money.

The story system reminds me of Papers Please, and it is fun to progress by simply playing the game and choosing what requests to fulfill.

Distant Egg Song
Distant Egg Song

Right off the bat, you know this is an artsy game.

You know this is a game with a message. A game that wants to provoke a reaction from you.

I don't think the reaction it was trying to provoke was "Dude, who even cares?" And yet here we are.

You can tell where SWOTS is trying to build emotion into its gameplay. The vague irritation you feel when some jackhole buys something out from under you, the desire to descend upon the nearest orphanage with a scalpel and a dream when you can't buy ONE GODFORSAKEN HEART, the urge to just quit when you grasp that the dudes requesting Rotcane are the only ones worth working for, they're all part of the design. That may be part of the problem.

One of the devs recently mentioned on Twitter that the fact that scammers can game the system to get free stuff by blocking you from refreshing your list is part of a commentary on the gig economy. And yet A: as a gig economy drone, I can assure you that a lack of incoming jobs isn't on my list of concerns, and B: the gameplay issues posed by this are minimal.

This confusion in commentary on capitalism is one of the major issues with this game, I would say. Are you supposed to feel like an untouchable demigod? Because if so, why don't I have a sort-option on my console, like a freeware knockoff version of Excel could give me? Am I supposed to be a desperate, scrounging underdog? Because if so, why was I able to murder my mentor and hang up his organs as office decorations within the first 45 minutes of the game?

Is it supposed to feel as bland and repetitive as an office job? Okay, but most people get paid for that. is it supposed to feel as hollow and as pointless as some role as an amoral cog or finance-sector scumbag? Fine, but at least Wolf-of-Wall-Street types get to snort coke. Am I supposed to be some empty loser in general, scraping for whatever little bits of dopamine my faulty circuitry of fat and salt can afford me? Sure I guess, but I already bought Cruelty Squad, and that at least has gameplay.

If I seem snippy in this review, it's because I'm legitimately disappointed. One of the devs' previous games, Hypnospace Outlaw, is one of my favorite games of all time, and another of his works, An Airport for Aliens Currently Run By Dogs, was at minimum kind of enjoyable. This? I honestly feel stupid for even bothering.

This is probably one of my favourite games on steam. I love the visuals on this game. The low animations go so well with the green backgrounds. The game play is also really fun. I love reading the descriptions of the requests just to get an idea of the characters in this world. I also love the idea that you can pay other people off to get what you want without other people trying to buy them too.

I would highly recommend this game to anyone for this price

This is a frenetic, brutal mercantile game. It'd all be pretty straightforward buying low, selling high and obtaining special requests for customers... except you're a warlord. In space. Selling organs. While other games might gloss over the dark realities of capitalism, this game runs headlong into them.

Occasionally you'll catch yourself thinking, "No way are souls worth that much. Half that price, and we're talking." Or happily selling custom organs to a bunch of Necromancers. And you'll realise the monster has been you all along.

Oh no wait, I mean capitalism was the monster. Capitalism.

This game has a lot going for it on the surface, which is why I was so excited seeing it get released. The art is stellar, the soundtrack is as high energy and frenetic as the gameplay, and the writing is grotesque and vivid. The problem I think is that the surface is all there really is. You're buying and selling organs, making deals with aliens, fighting through pop-ups. It's cool and interesting for the first hour, in the kind of way that makes you say "wow, I wonder where this is gonna go?" But it doesn't go anywhere -- at best you gain the ability to buy and sell new kinds of organs. The different storylines are cool, and the endings you can get are unsettling in a neat way, but they crop up rarely and are over quickly.

There are some great, uniquely video-gamey feelings here. Watching an organ you wanted getting snapped up and accidentally buying the wrong thing; whiffing on a profit because you were buying too quick and didn't check the reward price; the moment where you get upset about the price of literal souls. It's dehumanizing, it's dissociative, it's unethical, and it's a lot more interesting to talk about than it is to engage with the content, because there is just so little to actually engage with. There are some excellent reviews and think pieces on the web, and the creator made a lengthy write-up on the intentional friction in the game. I'd recommend reading those, but I would not recommend buying the game.

I think the really high energy gameplay was a great thing to shoot for, but I burned out really quickly. I originally wanted to push to see all the endings, but when I acknowledged that it would be a *push* instead of something I actually wanted to do I instead sat down to write this review. I guess the best way to put it is that I would have come out feeling better if this was half the price and with half the storylines. As is, it just feels like it overstays its welcome.

Memory and reflex game under the guise of stock trading organs and facilitating all kinds of meaty transactions. I personally am having a blast and am thoroughly enjoying the aesthetic, light storytelling and quick to pickup and put down game play. I see it having a finite amount of playtime unless more depth is added.
Great buy!

The subtle choices this game makes to make you feel like you are part of this wild organ market are astounding. I'm just completely taken by how exciting it is, how fast it moves and how you have to think fast too... It's hard sometimes but it's profitable other times... It tells incredible stories with such simple mechanics. Love it.

police brutality simulator
police brutali…

it's a really cool looking game and the UI is actually quite good.
Basically, you fulfill requests. some are particular, some are basic, some are scams.
you find out that a day is 2 minutes and 30 seconds. at the end of a day, the larger market indexes update and this impacts the prices. Stocks are predictable, I think. there are obvious bottoms and tops of every market item and anyone with some experience in trading will enjoy this as it can multiply your gains between rounds.

everything is snappy and works well but the developer cut the game short. you see, after you get used to the systems and order handling of clients, the buy/sell on a larger market, and finally getting to upgrading your cargo hold, you may have already beaten the game on accident.

apparently there is 6 endings or so to the game, but i managed to crush the game in an hour and a half. your save gets stopped. you must start over. no long running career. why?***

It's a cool game, just way too short for the price.

***Correction: you can continue your game afterwards from the main menu, to get the other 5 endings done if you wish.

you're looking at about 10-24 hours of gameplay for 20 bucks, so it's your call

Sanity is optional for playing this game.
Graphically represents something of the mid-90's, think some of those crusty looking point-and-clicks. Visually quite well inoffensive for what could have been, granted every organ, from human or something otherworldly, pulsates or moves in the visual window.
the Soundtrack is an absolute BANGER, so much more than a game like this deserves to have but does.

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator is the only game that I know of that allows you to buy and sell organs, both human and alien. The game is fast paced and requires attention to detail e.g. organ condition, organ rarity and blood type. The gameplay consists of accepting organ requests by clients, then buying them from the market (which progressively gets more and more difficult to buy from as other traders might buy the organs you want before you do) and fulfilling your clients' requests in return for money and reputation. The game also features an optional stock market where you can buy and sell organ ETFs.

Overall, this is a very fun and unique game, although a bit short depending on what ending you get.

It also has Kinect support.

Very engaging for the first few hours of gameplay, but once you figure out what you're doing, it becomes far too easy and loses its appeal. Would recommend buying when it's on sale because the price is a little high compared to other indie games that give you many more hours of play.

I don't usually write reviews but I wanted to add some quick thoughts about this game.

I like that the restrictions and frustrations of the UI are deliberate, every moment spent away from trading loses time and you are incentivised to learn what the barcodes of each organ mean for a way to quickly apprise what you want and to buy it. I like the semi-competitive feel of the other traders, you can buy them out of trading if you're really hard pressed and the game starts to feel slow when they're not around. Their little bios are great, I wish you could communicate with them in some meaningful way.

I love the music and the art design of what is a frankly bizarre and horrible galaxy. I also think the writing is very good and funny. I wish there was more, more chat, more story, more to each of the various storylines that develop, with your systemic influence on the stock market itself having more bearing on the events that take place. The events that happen seem to me completely scripted and linked to the least compelling statistic in the game: your reputation as a trader. It's sort of like Papers, Please where you're playing the game and then occasionally a particular person who turns up at your booth is important. You fulfill numerous requests by them and get a sort of ending. This is a bit non-committal. You can immediately undo the ending and carry on playing. As endings turn up after, in certain cases, less than an hour of play I can understand this decision but I don't really like the Pokemon Catch 'Em All approach to narrative decisions. A lot of the time you have very little agency in the story segments.

As for reputation: this has loads of levels and starts off massively important but is really inconsequential as time goes on. The only parameter is completing requests. Some give you a big whack of reputation, some give you a small amount... largely it doesn't matter. It's pure grind. Maybe it's a parody of the grind mindset, in which case, bravo but, if so, the game shoots itself in the foot a little bit.

Delivering organs to a variety of odd and demanding clients is fun to begin with but became completely pointless very early on because of how easy it is to predict trends in the stock market. You can make money with eye-watering ease, if there's a massive delivery of kidneys coming - guess what - buy 'em low and sell 'em high. After an hour, you'll have several million in the bank and the best hold for your cargo (there is one option way better than the others, just save up for it). There is nothing else to do with your money. Oh, the emptiness of capitalism.

You can never really manipulate the market very successfully with the cargo hold degradation mini-game but it's weird that being extremely rich, extremely fast, has no bearing on the stories that come your way or your events. It just makes the game triflingly easy.

Personally I feel like this game needs more at the moment. In the vain hope that anyone out there cares or reads this: it's a great template for a game but there's not enough to it to justify the price. You can explore the other endings (and there are a bunch to "find") but these are all contingent on the requests part of the game, an aspect you quickly outgrow. Why there isn't more stuff to sink your money into I really don't know, as with reputation you continue to unlock more organs and more buyers for a lot longer than it takes to accrue a fortune. The fact is most of these chumps are still offering you day 1 size rewards of cash and rep... why bother with them? Sometimes I wanted to just skip the trading day, as other traders do, in order to see how my stocks fared.

I'm no #trader but even a completely avoidable loss of $2 million I immediately made up for with my next punt on some hearts. Additional work needed to be done here to either make trading more interesting and more central to the experience or to scrap it entirely and give more depth to the inventory management mini-game so that the requests system is your only source of revenue.

As above, I really liked the game but it's not worth its current price and I would recommend it for like a movie length blast of goodtimes but it's not very compelling after 4 hours. They should have found a way to elongate the early game challenge of scrabbling about in the meat and the scum, as that was way more fun.

Pasta

The game is a blast for the first 1 hour/ 1 hour and a half, starts becoming repetitive after that with the beautiful art style and sound design taking a big hit as a you grind your way through the story. The stock market probably needs a rework as it allows you to gain large amounts of money too fast, ruining the best part of the game which is you starting out as a low cash scum trying to snatch that bottom of the barrel heart to resell.
Overall the game is really fun and, if more depth is added, has a chance to become one of my favorite games on the platform.

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator is absolutely my favorite Strange Scaffold game to date. You know how in movies like Ocean's 11 where they go around and collect a group of wacky specialists in order to pull off that one perfect heist? Strange Scaffold's strength is finding folks with these specialties and setting them loose - here, a team of absolute mad scientists have constructed a game that's fresher than a newly harvested spleen.

SWOTS has a retro-futuristic vibe, with a groovy NESpunk soundtrack and an ultraslick modern UI that is built around a somewhat grimy crunchified version of those monochrome green-and-black interfaces found in the 1980s. The art is delightful, with pulsing organs and portraits with personality, and the lighthearted, witty writing keeps the game breezy and fun. This is certainly not a serious game - in SWOTS, we definitely explore the more humorous aspects of intergalactic black-market organ farming. If you're keen to dust off some old hardware collecting cobwebs under your TV in the family room, SWOTS also offers full Kinect support so that you can trade bodies with your whole body and get your Tom-Cruise-In-Minority-Report on. Is Kinect the optimal way to play the game? No, absolutely not! Which is why you should try it.

Gameplay in SWOTS is far more fast-paced than I was expecting. There are some strategy elements here, but this game relies on quick snap judgement and a good working memory - unexpectedly, the closest comparison I can think of is something like Cook, Serve Delicious. Basically, each in-game trading day is a frantic rush on a 2-minute timer. Organs will drop on the market, each with randomly assigned size, quality, freshness, etc, all of which will determine its price, which will also fluctuate as organs are bought and sold. You've got your standard stuff like hearts, gallbladders, and brains, but there's a number of alien organs as well, which present interesting effects when stored in your ship's hold; some are corrosive or explosive, or will have various effects on other organs in their vicinity, so there's a bit of inventory management as well.

Meanwhile, you will receive a flood of specific requests from clients; fulfilling these is a reliable source of cash as long as you buy low and sell high, and is also your primary means for continuing with the story, as well as unlocking more complex requests and organs. As you do this, other traders will be on the floor as well, undercutting you or buying things right out from under you, though for the right price, they can be bought off. You can also buy and sell shares in organ futures, which is another way to earn big cash. There's no shame in using the accessibility settings to turn down the game speed if you are looking for a somewhat more relaxed experience.

SWOTS goes by in the blink of an eye. In the current build of the game, you are likely to find several endings and earn the majority of the Steam achievements within a few hours. If you do stumble across an ending (there are 7 of them), it will end the trading day. After the credits roll, you get the option to pick up your save where you left off to look for another ending, or to start from scratch if you would like. The action is super addictive, and I absolutely devoured the game. I was finding though towards the 5 or 6 hour mark that due to the increasingly specific nature of the quests and the increasing number of organ varieties, it was becoming much harder to find the things I needed, so I think the decision to keep the game brief was the right one. Some more things to spend cash on and bit more story here in there would not have hurt, though.

This game feels like it will stand up well to multiple playthroughs, so I am looking forward to my next one.

After playing this game for 45 minutes, I would definitely say that this game is worth it. Fast paced gameplay that isn't annoyingly overwhelming or confusing and you can get the hang of it within the first few minutes. Although, 20 dollars is a little much for a game with only 2 modes really, the stock market and the organ fetch quests, I'd say if it goes on sale for anything under $15, you should definitely acquire it!

This is a new game made by what I can only assume is a new game dev based on my limited research, and I have to commend them for a lot of the work they've put into this game, but I don't think that you should buy this game yet.

It hasn't quite reached the peak of it's potential, and from what I've gathered it's potential is being worked on and that's a big plus for me. (Note: If you do buy this game there is no real tutorial telling you what the hell you're doing, you have to intuit a lot of the game and at the start you're very likely going to have money issues)
Right now this game is a 4/10 for me but I see potential for it to be a 7/10.

Follow the dev process, do not buy it yet

The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in “advanced” countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in “advanced” countries.

The industrial-technological system may survive or it may break down. If it survives, it MAY eventually achieve a low level of physical and psychological suffering, but only after passing through a long and very painful period of adjustment and only at the cost of permanently reducing human beings and many other living organisms to engineered products and mere cogs in the social machine. Furthermore, if the system survives, the consequences will be inevitable: There is no way of reforming or modifying the system so as to prevent it from depriving people of dignity and autonomy.

If the system breaks down the consequences will still be very painful. But the bigger the system grows the more disastrous the results of its breakdown will be, so if it is to break down it had best break down sooner rather than later.

Somewhere on the spectrum of Papers Please

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator is a game where you play an organ trader, collecting organs to either sell directly or fulfill special (= more profitable) requests. Like Papers Please, the game will occasionally hit you with narrative that you can optionally engage with. I didn't discern any survival elements, no rent to pay, you're free to amass capital and 'win' the game. The endings I've reached so far relied on fulfilling prompts, but I'm sure there's other avenues to different endings.

In a way, it's the reverse of Papers Please, since this game is all in on capitalism. The moral lesson of both games seems to be, living under communism or capitalism, both suck. Anyone alive today could've told you that, but hey :)

In summary, Organ Trading Simulator is a fairly straightforward and effective game. I reached multiple endings after about three hours of playtime, indicating that it's replayable but short. I had fun, check it out if you're into this sort of thing.

DISCLAIMER: This is a first impressions review, and NOT a full review

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator is a game developed and published by Strange Scaffold

The game offers some nice graphics and a nice aesthetic, although some ugly glitches here and there, it is pleasant all the same

The game does suffer with some repetitiveness at certain areas of the game but a fun game nonetheless

Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator overall, however, is a fun game to play, yet sometimes repetitive and it does get boring if being played for a long time, but is a really good simulation strategy game to play in short bursts!

I've enjoyed the game but there are minimal mechanics which get stale quickly. I've unlocked several of the endings and don't really feel the need to grind longer, repeating much of the same activity.

It would be great if there was something other than playing the market and fulfilling orders. I love the idea of how organs can influence each other, but that didn't really play into my game too much - I would simply avoid orders that were too much of a hassle. Perhaps adding a significant premium for more difficult organ characteristics?

Otherwise I would largely rely on high-margin items like brains and rotcane to build up my finances before timing the market.

It's an excellent game but really short and I'm not sure if I'll revisit it. The aesthetic and the music really jive together to complete the theme. I recommend buying this at a deep discount (maybe $10 at the most) because I completed the game in 3 hours.

My only major gripe is the trading UI when you have multiple traders executing orders. Sometimes orders are just flying by and it's very easy to click on one thing but buy another because it the item changed in a split second. You're basically forced to pay off the other traders to play normally and I'd like for it to be an actual choice.

///SPOILER ALERT///

I understand there are multiple "endings" but it's just doing the same gameplay loop over again but fulfilling different orders, so if you've done one ending, you've done them all. You just get to see different slideshows play out.

Edited Review for possible ideas for Devs:

I still want to put that I really enjoyed this game and the reason I'm adding this addendum to my review is to perhaps see how much more the Devs might put in with perhaps my input? Not sure, but worth a shot.
I see that they are doing crossover content and that's pretty damn rad! So it would at least let me believe they're willing to add more to this already great game! My opinions on what could add more to the game are as follows:

1. More achievements - I enjoy achievement hunting and wouldn't mind some more fun ones to go after, perhaps some secret ending ones that I have too play more of the main quests for some eccentric warlords!

2. Live a bit more of a tutorial for certain things - This one may just be a me thing but stock market side of the game is great way to get huge bucks (or huge losses) if you play it right. I think what could be good is perhaps an alert in the stock page saying (Certain stock will be crashing soon) as I tend to write in a notepad what will be crashing anyway.

3. Understanding Favors over buying out - I don't recall if I ever got told what favor's do besides growing my rank? I wouldn't mind if more was added to that part to make me weigh it over buying them out.

4. In game Notepad - Not a big thing but would stop me from having to alt tab before every trade to write what people are looking for (This opinion might change as I used this as a tool while I had covid.)

I think those are the only things I can think of that would perhaps make me play longer rather then shorter. I'm already really wanting to get every story ending cause I find them entertaining and the style of this game to be unique in its own way. As mentioned below, Jerma was steaming this game while I was sick, I picked it up and really enjoyed it! The high chaotic nature of having other traders demanding and stealing your well deserved organs is so much fun!

Not to forget, some of the quests are also really great, and I'm glad they don't end your game directly then and there. Can't wait to see how much more content this game gets, and if not, I still think its worth a pick up for the gameplay and quests alone!

Thanks to our lord JERMA!

10/10 - Glad I could be a Dog selling organs as a Commander for the Dog warlord.

i had been hyped for this game for a lot of time and now that i afforded to purchase it i noticed how incredibly fast the novelty of trading organs on the space just faded away

the game got me hooked for a while but after just 4 'trade sessions' you can feel how repetitive the whole game is

the speed of normal trading window is incredibly stressing and short. if you slow it down you end up just sitting for like 5 minutes waiting for the trade window to end, just to check your stock and click to start another trading window.

i would love to see more mechanics added to the game, i heard about crossovers so im gonna keep an eye to see if they add something else to hook you for longer. but for now it's just so repetitive is sadly boring :c

For a $30(AUD) game, there's only really maybe 3 hours of gameplay, and in this case I felt that degraded as the game went on. Some games begin with simple tasks that become increasingly complex, such as Papers Please. SWOTS does something similar, in that initially you'll be looking for an organ, and by the end you need an organ with 1-2 additional requirements. You end up staring at the trading queue, waiting for the rare item to appear, with no way to influence the outcome. The difference between the two games in that respect is that PP keeps you engaged despite the menial tasks, while SWOTS is the act of just waiting for the right number to appear. The music and other traders give the appearance of frantic gameplay, which admittedly does sometimes require quick reactions, but it's mostly a game of patience. The endings and aesthetics were somewhat interesting. Would heavily benefit from a "skip day" button, allowing you to simply quickly buy the required reputation from fellow traders to reach the 42K rep mark.

Better games at half the price or less, with more gameplay and story.

I love this game more than my firstborn child. Who I sold to help my organ selling business. Thanks SWOTS!

Neato, it can feel as if your getting stuck in poverty if you play it badly, but that's usually how it is in any tycoon sim

The game controls are very clunky and sabotages the fun aspect of the game. It is difficult to translate the intent in my mind into an action in the game (even just simple stuff like viewing/buying organs, or checking/accepting/fulfilling orders), and it is seemingly almost by design; to artificially make the game slightly harder and not be too easy. I do not find this kind of artificial difficulty / hindered controls fun. The time limit of 3 minutes per market session also further adds to the problem because you want to be fast. I tried both keyboard+mouse and controller and they both are quite bad.

What I think would make this game better: Make it easy to browse and do everything in the game:
- Accepting or rejecting a request shouldn't be multiple clicks or up/down/left right navigation with controller -- why can't I just press X/Y/A/B to just accept/reject/fulfill it?
- When an organ is bought by another trader another organ shouldn't jump into the same row -- this is the very same classic jankiness UI problem with websites and it is not great, even if it's intentionally made to be a difficulty element to the game
- Why do I need to press a button to "view" / select an organ in the cargo (and I think the market as well); If I move my cursor to an organ in the cargo just show it already, why do I need to press A to show it, and then another button to do whatever I want with it?
- Show list of orders to be fulfilled in the market view -- I don't know if it's intentional to make the player do it as a memorization game, but I do not find it fun to just scroll back and forth between market and request page just because I forgot. I feel like the game should be about you know: Organ Trading, not Matching Pairs.

For a price point of 17€ I don't think I can recommend this game

If I had a nickle for every game I played with an organ stock market, I'd have two nickels.

In Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator you play as a space warlord who is involved with the organ trade. The core of the gameplay is about accepting requests from clients who require certain organs (and some are pickier or have more specific demands than others) and then compare the organs that are put up for sale with their requirements. You then have to quickly make a decision on whether you should buy the organ or if it's waste of money/storage space before a rival trader snatches it off the market.

The gameplay reminds me a bit of "Papers, Please" in this sense, you have to compare two sets of data to each other and then make a quick decision on which action to perform. But you're given a grace period of a second or so to do this (if you're dealing with a lot of rivals that you haven't bought off), organs sometimes disappear quickly but I've yet to feel like I'm not being given a fair shake. On its surface the gameplay seems very frantic, especially during rounds where more rival traders get involved, but once you figure out how the game *works* it's surprisingly relaxing.

In addition to the organ trade there is also a stock market. It's an easy and risk-free way to make extra money if you understand the basic principle of "buy low, sell high", the only downside to it that I've encountered is that I sometimes invested too much money in stocks and then had trouble buying the more expensive organs during the organ trading phase.

This game also has some of the coolest and most original art direction that I've seen in a game in a while, and it has a soundtrack to match.
