  "account": "The game 1666: Amsterdam has launched into early access after over a decade of development. The game involves exploring modern day and 17th century Amsterdam in pursuit of demonic Originals. Players control Noa, a witch, and Aaron, a man trapped in a cat's body, as they hunt down and fight the demons. The setting and character designs are praised, but the gameplay feels repetitive and the use of AI is inconsistent. The game has few bugs, but the bugs and crashes are still present. While the team is open to working with the community to improve the game, it is advised that potential players wait a bit longer before paying $30 for it.",
