Hi, Played a few hours. some honest feedback. Gave it a thumbs up to support the project and see it move fowards. I play almoust exclusivelly survival games and have been for many years. I play on PC, some feedback. Pros: • Lovely game. • Ability to manipulate objects to use them to move around is interesting. • Parkour, fun. • There is a story, a lot of talking between the NPCs. Story is good helps with immersion, provided it is a good story of course. Cons: • Camera is not nice. It pans, zooms and does its own thing. You feel disoriented with the changing angles. It wants to always face forward if you try and go back or sideways, at times you are literally at the "edge" of the screen. Need to allow the player to be able to control the camera angle to some extent. At the very least allow for ability to move the view around so you can see where you are going. There are places and spaces where you can barely see the edge you are supposed to drop down to and cant seem to move the camera in any direction. • Please allow players to change action button settings. This is standard fare in all survival games and most modern games. • Lighting in caves is terrible. When combined with t…

Interesting survival game not steam deck ready but says they plan to make it stable. Currently expect around 24-27 fps on steam deck. Lossless scaling will help out but does cause slight graphical artifacts just barely enough to notice. If you plan to get this for steam deck I would recommend also lossless scaling. The gameplay and movement feels like old school prince of Persia games or Flashback. Now for the bad controls feel a bit janky or overly difficult to perform. Such as sprint jumping hold L3 to the left push B button to sprint then Y button to jump. I think this would work better if pushing L3 was sprint and run then pushing Y to jump. Or even a simple flip of Y and B buttons jobs as it feels more natural to move down from sprint to jump vs moving up to jump. World graphics are beautiful while characters are lackluster but this is being a nitpicker and shouldn't matter that much. 8/10 https://youtu.be/oP9YZ0w_Dw8?si=uGZFysKj1VJpQt1Z

Whilst there are still a few minor kinks to be ironed out, I still find this game highly entertaining and quite addictive. I very much enjoy the crafting aspect, especially making items which I then use to fight enemies or light areas (to solve puzzles would be a nice addition, but maybe I just haven't come across these yet and need to progress further). I also didn't realise at first that some recipes wouldn't work without a specific crafting table to do them on, but it makes more sense now that I have found the next grade of worktable. The supposed 10 hours of gameplay seems terribly conservative to me. I've been playing for easily twice that and don't believe I am anywhere near the end. The scenery is gorgeous. I love the young girl with glasses' dialogue (very quirky. Is that deliberate or just the translation? Either way, I found it enchanting). Once I got into the swing of the movement, it all became a lot more enjoyable to play. It took me a bit of time to configure the controller I had borrowed to work intuitively (using a keyboard was nightmarish), but the parkour elements of the game were easier to pull off and less frustrating once I had. The other thing that improve…
