Worm is like Mass Effect, Familiar of Zero, or Dragon Age in that it's a largely functional story with comprehensive worldbuilding, yet it's so messed up that it's easy to find ways to "fix" or "improve" the setting without trying hard or ruining the base appeal. That it has a modular mechanic...

I have. I can't recommend it for anybody.
