DRUDGE

Fairly fun game; I beat it all within around nine or so hours, though I am missing a few achievements here and there. The gameplay loop is pretty enjoyable overall- it combines several unique concepts, such as a trash sorting simulator, a farming simulator, an extraction sim, and a decor sim. These systems work fairly well together, and I will add that the atmosphere of the horror sections is surprisingly solid; I typically don't get frightened at games, but something about the dark corridors and the enemies approaching rapidly made me jump several times. One downside I will say is that the game can be a little unclear at times. Unclear if you are hitting an enemy, unclear how to move forward with certain game aspects (ie: at one point you will find a pile of bones. The way to complete the mini quest with them is a bit counterintuitive). However, I did enjoy the game overall and was surprised it only has a 123 reviews on steam; this seems like a game that should be far more popular. I waited a bit to actually play this game, but now that I have completed it, I will be following its development for sure.

Good

This game is amazing. You can't tell it's early access at all and the Dev is actively working on it. There is farming, house flipper like aspects all with a horror vibe.

It's definitely a game for a certain type of person. The atmosphere is pure misery and hopelessness. If you think it looks good, though, you should probably go for it. It's an unusual and, in my opinion, interesting experience. My only complaint is that I want more, and more does seem to be coming. And that's not even a complaint. I want more because the game is good.

This game has alot of potential while its understandable its going for a Horror vibe there are some missing quality of life features that would make the game truely better i have a few suggestions: 1. allow selling of overstock of farm goods - i threw in 10 cabbages just to see if it counts and well nothing 2. ranged weapons - im not saying "Give me a Gun" but how about throwing Darts/Knifes/Glass Shards (See already 3 tiers) - just something to quickly throw at a distance to deal a little damage in safe distance 3. a "no Story" mode thats just about surviving - you die the safe whipes - and the more days you survive the more items get unlocked in the shop from the get go without having to find disks to unlock the items 4. Modifiers - to make runs a little different like an "apocalypse" mode where more enemies spawn - or a "Reverse Sandbox" mode where you are given only the bare minimum but stuff is unlocked through doing your daily tasks 5. it would also be nice to increase the stack size of small items like the cabbage to 5 6. give the monkey something to do maybe if you keep feeding it it occasionally steals a water bottle from the water bottle machine giving you a free health…

The games name can be taken literally, everything you do is tedious. Put the shaped object in the shaped hole, search the lower levels looking for something while killing a few zombies, lastly put seeds in dirt and wait. It is good if you need a time killer. Bad if you would prefer spending your time doing something meaningful. Bought on a whim to give it a go and I did not find it fun. An interesting concept for sure, very few games I have played put you in a role of perpetual servitude but fun it was not.
