I bit on Dangerous High School Girls (wait, that didn't sound right)....

Anyway, I've heard good things about it and the premise sounded too unique to resist.

It’s actually kind of fun in a simplistic board game sort of way. I picked it up during a previous Steam Sale.

Prettier I can't imagine. The first one is absolutely gorgeous.

Lots of attention to graphical detail and design.

Really disliked Capized. I finished it mostly because it’s short. The last couple missions are just annoying with little payoff.

Is anybody playing this MP? Can you kind of do it turn based/PBEM/Words with Friends style and take turns here and there? I'm thinking of buying one for me and one for a friend who I used to play Magic with many moons ago (who also has a busy life... and a birthday coming up).

From the Steam Stats, there's 1,157 people playing at the moment, and current daily peak. Given that it's also a console title, I would highly doubt that there's any sort of asynchronous MP available.

PC

Ram: 512meg
Processor/Gfx card: will run on low-end modern hardware (e.g. netbooks)
