Hidden Gem. Absolutely worth playing, one of the best coop experiences i've played in a while.

Cool aesthetic & enjoyable system. Finished a few runs solo. Not the deepest game from what i can see so far but still satisfying balancing out character buffs with card choices (I love anything choose adventure/rogue lite/multiple runs with a touch of RNG despair). The runs are relatively quick especially after you figure out UI and basic rules. Probably would be more fun playing with others as the game seems designed for that but i only tried single player with a bot teammate so far. Looking forward to playing harder difficulties and maybe finding humans to play with.

It's fun but there's not much there. Running it with a friend or 2 is where it's at, but running it with bots/AI who will sometimes choose to starve and end the run rather than picking the food option is sometimes unpreventable. 15 bucks seems kinda steep for the quality and content, I suggest you wait for a sale.

The gameplay is very flat. In this style of game you'd really like to see a degree of progression or improvement of the things you're playing with (e.g. add/remove/improve your cards), but nothing really ever changes. The result is that you're just playing whatever cards add the type of resource you're currently missing the most, coupled with with some basic discussion ahead of time about what your teammate(s) should prioritize. The "don't talk to your teammate when picking cards" thing is just kinda meh. It's not the worst thing ever, but it's also not engaging. I'd rather they dump that and come up with something else. There's not a lot of strategy. There's very little depth. There's just not much going on in general. It's a shame, because the game could be a lot more appealing if there was actually deckbuilding or similar progression that was interesting. It doesn't seem like any mechanics like that are part of the future, so I'd say this is a game to skip.

This game is a lot of fun. It is challenging the first few times, but gets easier when you get the hang of it. There are a lot of factors to balance to make it through, and success is based both on skill and luck. I found it more difficult to play with the AI than with another person, but the AI did let me get to know the game. The game has a great aesthetic, and the gameplay reflects well the rigors of a dangerous journey through the desert. Definitely cut off communication when told to. It makes the game much more interesting!

Enjoyable survival with unique sharing mechanics. Took me two tries to beat it...once I got the hang of it, it seems pretty easy, so I might like more challenge. Though the price was worth it for the enjoyable hour.
