Heretic Operative is a $20 board-game-looking thing on Steam.

The thing is, it looks a lot like the mock-ups for the vaporware game, That Which Sleeps. The reviews for HO are decent. The scope seems to be smaller than TWS; it's not a giant empire game.

Is HO any good? Has anyone played?

Nookrium played it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HaD7wTMtxuc).
It looks okay. Nothing special. Wouldn't buy it myself, but might be interesting to some.

It only superficially looks like TWS. The game world map alone is far more detailed.

Well TBH any game that actually exists will be more detailed than TWS :p

The similarities are purely thematic. Mechanically, it's a heavily dice/card draw influenced boardgame. There's no real simulation occurring here, and it doesn't pretend otherwise.
