I played the demo and bought the game when it came out and i recently started playing it. And I have to say that I am very happy with the result of the game they added lots of stuff changed some stuff etc. I recommend this game with my full heart love the progress it made!3 found this helpful
Had to make sure this wasn't Red Hook Studios, because it reminds me so much of Darkest Dungeon. The game is awesome, you should try it.1 found this helpful
Really unique blend of base building and, in a roundabout way, a single-player side scrolling survival extraction game. The gameplay loop is like this: Manage your settlement, craft equipment and consumables, level up your citizens, dive to explore and gather resources. There's a constant time pressure in the game that keeps things moving and gives everything a sense of stakes (Which I will not spoil). What sets this game apart is its aesthetics and writing, which are both top notch, as well as the voice acting and the cinematography of the cut-scenes. Excellent world building as well. I cant wait to dive deeper, pun intended.1 found this helpful
It's basically subnautica 2d in lovcraftian theme. Contains 5 unique biomes replicated 1-3 times each. Interesting meta with meaningful development. I recommend playing without default 40 day time limit which is more annoying than entertaining. You'll comfortably complete it before getting last upgrades and tier-3 survivors on regular difficulty in 14 hours. If you are buying, there is serious help having map from guides, makes things a lot more easier, as you can't summon map in game.1 found this helpful
Despite having full controller support many action buttons are not assigned and I couldn't remap them for some reason. I was curious enough to give it a try but sadly there seems to be no way around.1 found this helpful
This game I'm only a little ways in, but this game is amazing. Great atmosphere, challenging without feeling unfair, and perfectly paced so I know why I'm messing up before I'm punished. The art, story/writing, and gameplay all compliment each other very well.
