Part 2? *2018-02-03* Interesting storyline, great writing and an abundance of choices. Needs a part 2. ### 2/5 — Sequel? *2017-12-10, version 1.0.1* I loved the game but there is no sequel and I finished it in 30 minutes. Too short there should be a sequel!! ### 5/5 — A very interesting concept and exciting game. *2017-09-18, version 1.0.1* I love these types of games, they are easy to master and play but they are complicated enough to get you addicted. This is a very good game, I love the challenge of trying to earn fantastic money in order to improve your character the best way you can and having to fight the balance of ruthlessness and loyalty. Now I have finished the first game, I really hope that the next version won't be long because I would like to be able to carry on and see how this un folds. ### 2/5 — Disappointing *2017-07-12, version 1.0.1* A boring, short read that introduces you to several characters and if you're lucky maybe you'll like one. Boring, tedious, useless. Wasted potential. ### 5/5 — Amazing! *2017-06-08, version 1.0.1* You better fast track a sequel! Please! Hurry! I can't wait! ### 4/5 — More please. *2017-01-15, version 1.0.1* Occasional misspellings and grammar issues aside, I love this series and can't wait for the next installment X) What will Sam do that finally gets the two of us into a battle do the death? What will become of my friends? Also, I find myself both completely terrified of- and weirdly attracted to Cyan; is that gonna go anywhere? I must have the answers! ### 5/5 — Great Read *2016-12-26, version 1.0.1* Cant wait for next part!! ### 5/5 — Awesome game can't wait for the sequel! *2016-11-24, version 1.0.1* This game was awesome I hope the next episode will be out soon. ## Frequently asked questions about Founders Saga ### What is Founders Saga: The Culling about?
