Info about Active Matter:

Official game description:
Post-Release Plans
==================
Release is not the end of development for us — it’s only the beginning of a much longer journey we have planned for Active Matter. We’re constantly working on new locations, weapons, monsters, game modes and events, and we plan to release several major content updates every year.
A detailed roadmap outlining our plans for the future will be published within a couple of weeks after release. In the meantime, keep an eye on the official website and our social media channels for the latest news and updates.
Standard Edition
================
**Standard Edition includes:**
*   25000 × Credits
*   300 × Prime (one-time)
*   5 sets of weapons
*   1 set of weapon modifications
*   10 sets of equipment
*   6 sets of ammunition
**Credits** are the main currency in the game Active Matter. They can be earned during raids by completing various contracts or by processing obtained active matter and looted items. Credits can be spent on purchasing weapons, ammunition, and other essential equipment.
**Prime** is a special currency you can earn by completing daily contracts. Prime does not reset after a Harmonization. You can spend Prime on Credits, Monolith access levels, and special items: additional secure containers, respawn beacons.
**Note!** Prime included with game editions is granted once.
**Note!** If your character dies during a raid, you lose all weapons and equipment that were not placed in a safe container or are not personal!
About the Game
==============
You’re an operative stuck in a time loop, always brought back from the dead to the same point. Choose your loadout and enter quantum unstable zones rich with active matter – the most valuable and the most dangerous resource in all multiverse. Fight against rivals from other timelines, survive physics-breaking anomalies and try to stay alive. Harvest active matter, gather loot and extract to a safe place before the whole zone ceases to exist with everything inside it.
Active matter changes things and bends space and time, so you might encounter operatives and other survivors that lost their mind and humanity after exposure to this substance. Other players, though, would always be your most dangerous enemy. Expand your syndicate base, upgrade your arsenal and participate in fierce battles between syndicates over the key sources of active matter, as they’re your only chance to break out of the loop and gain control over your destiny.
**Fight your way out in extraction-style PvE and PvPvE raids**
Go solo or team up in small squads to venture into quantum-unstable zones in PvPvE and PvE raids. Harvest active matter, grab valuable loot, and extract before everything goes to hell.  
**Realistic weapons and gear**
Active matter randomly brings things from other timelines to the quantum unstable zones and allows you to replicate a specific item from other timelines in the safety of your base. Despite the mysterious origin of your weapons, your arsenal is always rooted in real-world military technologies and tactics, as war seems to be the only constant in this chaotic multiverse.
**Gameplay-influencing active matter effects**
Mind-bending anomalies that change gravitational force and space topology right in front of your eyes. Thrilling encounters with eerie SCP-inspired objects would send shivers down your spine, and creatures transformed by active matter would attack you on sight. 
**Intense** **PvP battles**
Syndicates of operatives fight over control of a passive source of active matter, using all the weapons and other gear they can bring into battle or craft on site. Join PvP battles you like and make a real impact on the fate of the multiverse!
**Fascinating maps**  
Battles take place at locations that exist outside of space and time boundaries. Active Matter features a variety of maps, including a huge island with rusty Soviet industrial complexes and cryptic science labs that were among the first to study this new phenomena. Explore these places to find hints on the origin of active matter.

Feature scans:
- MTX: score 20; verdict: Fair / Low Predatory Risk (Edition-Only); summary: Audit finds mixed feedback. The main monetization concern is that more expensive editions are said to grant P2W characters, better post-raid loot, and extra bonuses, creating PvP unfairness. There is also an allegation of deluxe-edition price increase and upsell pressure. However, these are tied to editions/deluxe content rather than a separate in-game shop, currency, loot box, gacha, or battle pass; one positive review explicitly says there is no battle pass or cosmetic shop. Under the deluxe/edition override, the score is capped at 20.
- Proton/Linux: score 10; verdict: Works Well; summary: The available Linux/Proton evidence is positive: a user explicitly reports playing the game on Linux with CachyOS, and performance is described favorably. A BattlEye anti-cheat remark and general optimization praise are not explicitly tied to Linux, Proton, SteamOS, or Wine, so they do not add Linux-specific friction under the audit rules. The game appears to work well for Linux users without notable compatibility problems.
- Steam Deck: score 20; verdict: Seamless; summary: The reviewed feedback shows a largely seamless Steam Deck and Linux experience: users report good optimization, 60+ FPS on low-end settings, and immediately good controls on Linux (CachyOS). The main caveats are a mandatory online connection and BattlEye anti-cheat concerns, but no anti-cheat errors, launcher barriers, Proton Experimental toggles, or crashes are reported. Therefore the experience fits the Seamless band with minor non-blocking design friction.

- Hardware Profile:
  - Summary: Across the provided Windows hardware cohorts, lower-VRAM and higher-VRAM systems mostly report smooth performance and good optimization, while the 8–11GB VRAM cohort shows a genuine split between praise and complaints about optimization and visual quality trade-offs.
  - Sample size: 129 (25% coverage)
  - Audience skew: Review sample is mostly Windows-based.
  - Windows <8GB VRAM (positive, 42 reports): Lower-VRAM systems mostly report the game running great, smooth, and at 110fps+ with no major performance issues.
  - Windows 12-15GB VRAM (positive, 40 reports): This cohort generally praises strong optimization and fluid performance, with only isolated crash or skepticism reports.
  - Windows 8-11GB VRAM (mixed, 29 reports): Reports are split: some users call performance and optimization great, while others question the visual quality needed to hit 120fps or find performance confusing for their specs.
  - Windows 16GB+ VRAM (positive, 16 reports): High-VRAM systems report excellent 1440p ultra performance around 250fps, though one user experienced random stutters and freezes.
  - Caveats: 129 of 518 reviews expose hardware metadata.; Review sample is mostly Windows-based.
Feature extractions:
- Community Price:
  - Community fair range: $15.00 - $25.00
  - Reasoning: The positive review shows some hardcore extraction-shooter fans consider the full price worthwhile. However, other reviews say the game is not worth it in its current state and advise waiting for a sale or updates. The Turkish review cites a local price around 800 Turkish lira and rejects buying at that price, saying cheaper extraction alternatives exist. The Japanese review recommends entering through the cheapest edition and upgrading only if satisfied. Together this indicates the community fair base-game price is below full/current pricing, around $15-$25.
- Playtime Metrics:
  - Game completion: 50.0h
  - Story completion: N/A
  - Session length: 0.5h
  - Endgame: 100.0h
  - Reasoning: The Portuguese review reports roughly 50 hours before the player beat the game in the Gigaestrutura update, supporting gameCompletion at about 50 hours. Multiple reviews describe raid or match sessions as lasting 30 minutes, so sessionLength is set to 0.5 hours per raid/session. One review says Monolith progression gear keeps them busy for hundreds of hours, supporting endgame at a conservative 100-hour lower bound. No separate story-only completion time is provided, so storyCompletion is null.
- Time-to-fun:
  - Summary: Time-to-fun is delayed for many players: early emptiness, boring PvE AI, and heavy seasonal grind create friction, while enjoyment more reliably arrives after getting caught up in PvE and moving into PvP, especially with friends. Some players report immediate fun from the atmosphere and progression, but the clearest sequence evidence supports a 'clicks after' profile.
  - Stance: Clicks after
  - Anchor: Getting caught up in pve and entering pvp
  - Time to anchor: N/A
  - Friction: Early game feels completely empty.; PvE enemies and AI become boring and trivially easy after a few matches.; Heavy seasonal grind and forced rebirth for seasonal items.; Gear fear and hoarding before progression teaches players to overcome it.; Cluttered and user-unfriendly UI.; No strong sense of progression, tension, or investment for some players.
  - Unlock drivers: Getting caught up in PvE and building a cushion before entering PvP.; Progression system that teaches players to get over gear fear and hoarding.; Shared progression between PvE and PVPVE so new players have a chance.; Playing PvE mode to gather materials more easily.; Playing with friends or a squad to improve PvE enjoyment.
  - Conditions: Enjoyment is higher when playing with friends or a squad.; Choosing PvE mode to avoid mandatory PvP.; Tolerance for heavy seasonal grind and rebirth requirements.; Reaching PvP after getting caught up in PvE.; Preference for atmosphere and vibes over core gameplay.; Focus on PvE versus PvP.; Accepting early game emptiness and boring AI.; Solo play is less enjoyable than co-op.
