Open Sewer vs Virtual Villagers: Origins
Open Sewer
Open Sewer is an RPG/simulation game where you’ll not only get to manage your own apartment block, but to also scour the grime-covered streets for precious bottles to recycle and earn some cash from. There are plenty of characters to meet and perhaps get quests from, as well as plenty more crafting options using materials that you can either collect from dumpster diving, trash picking or drain fishing, or buy from the local stores. Although the map is currently pretty small for an open world game, there are many places for you to explore within the city... and if you're lucky, you may even find a whole stash of resources that you can repurpose for your own benefit!The whole concept behind the game and also its implementation is impressive, to say the least! Open Sewer has all the makings of a successful indie hit, but there are still many bugs to fix and rooms to improve (the game's currently in early access). Hopefully, if the developers do truly take the players' suggestions and feedback into account, Open Sewer might just go mainstream!
Virtual Villagers: Origins
Virtual Villagers: Origins is the village simulation game that is developed to answer the question of "what if The Sims is set in tribal times" and it did so perfectly. In this game, you'll need to help the fellow members of your tribe to survive in a mysterious new island by getting them to take up important roles, like farmers, builders and scientists. Grow your tribe and send them to explore the island they have now made their home on. There are also plenty of fun and challenging, random events that will spice up the day-to-day routine, allowing you to make use of your excellent problem-solving skills.In many ways, Virtual Villagers: Origins is very similar to other life simulation games like Virtual Families or, as mentioned, The Sims. For fans of such games, you'll find Virtual Villagers: Origins a suitable alternative.
