i absolutely love this game. i really hope there is a second. graphics are great, the story is great. has full controller support, which is an absolute must for me. easy on my gaming laptop. awesome discord community support from players and dev. i don't want to give anything away, just that it was so worth my time and money and that is a rare combo. i absolutely recommend this game

Quite an enjoyable game. Nice graphics, voiceovers, gameplay.

This game, in my opinion, is absolutely worth the price it is currently at. Its not perfect, the building has a few rough edges, but nothing game breaking. I was a bit disappointed the cutscene at the end of the game wasn't a bit more animated, but again that's nothing major. I will say I found myself always trying to get different geodes to prospect. a negative would be sometimes the ores glitch out while your trying to mine them, but that doesn't happen very often and after an earthquake they clear anyway overall this game feels much more like games used to be. you pay a fair price and can play it for hours to complete and get your moneys worth. replay ability is only building out your outpost, mining and prospecting for fun though. That said I still feel like I got my moneys worth

Good game, very polished, bug free and impressively well thought-out. There is an interesting story to keep you going, and the gathering / crafting mechanics make sense. I disliked survival elements in general, but you can adjust the difficulty independently of each in the game's settings at any time. I didn't find the back and forth annoying or excessive. There are many quests which require that you bring an item from the surface, but if you pay basic attention to your surroundings, you find a lot of shortcuts. I took me 35h to finish the story, and expand my base to build everything needed to comfortably craft almost everything. I could spend a few more hours to make it it larger and beautiful, there is a ton of cosmetics.

Incredible game! I loved everything: the story, the base building, the mining-crafting loop, the visuals, the style. Huge respect for the developer, this is beyond solid for a solo project! The characters are great, and masterfully voiced, the main duo makes the game feel alive. Of course, some things can be improved: camera angle is too locked down, some QoL would be nice like "stack to all chests" or "stack to chest without opening", GPU load is a bit high for a low-poly game. But the good stuff outweighs the minor issues by a long margin! Strong recommend for all story-driven survival craft exploration lovers!

Having fun with the game itself so far, but I hate the controller controls for interacting with the menus. I'd likely be less frustrated if there was a way to make the "mouse" jump to the center of the screen it was constantly getting lost off screen on me. Getting the pointer exactly where it needs to be to scroll a subwindow using a controller is also not fun.
