TL/DR: If you want a realistic, or even plausible game, this is definitely not it. You'll be attacked by wild bears and wolves almost every time you're going to chop some firewood, that is of course if you manage to avoid hitting yourself in the knee with your axe which happens like 50% of the time. Seriously, this game is balanced so poorly it's ridiculous. You're either a complete moron who cannot use a knife/axe without cutting himself, or face murderous animals which hide around every corner. Summary: I really wanted to love this game. It has many great features and is quite possibly the deepest survival game there is, but the balance is simply ridiculous. Out of around 10 attempts to chop firewood, in five of them my character managed to wound himself seriously, and in four he was attacked by bears or wolves, only ONE attempt to simply chop wood was successful. My character looks like a complete idiot, with an epicly bad luck - being attacked by wild animals every day, when in reality bears only kill around THREE people a year, in the US and Canada combined. Unless the devs can address this, and they haven't in the past two years, this game is simply unplayable. I really w…

This looks a lot like old times, playing games without knowledge and finding out what happens when I click there and so on. Luckily nowadays there is something like "google" an on line guides. I really like the indepth of the game, and finding out things. Working your way around. If you like fast paced shooters where all looks the same whether sutuated in wwII or alien surroundings, gameplay is boring and always the same. This game is refreshing, and learns you to take things slow. I start to learn to find my way now, and really like it.

Although a unique concept of using real time to complete tasks it is not very practical to me and perhaps most gamers. The sound effects are too loud and no control is available. The icons are clunky. What little directions that are given are useless given the starting conditions. A person goes out to cut a tree and not only does not complete the task after 30 real life minutes but comes back wounded? What kind of person is so inept? I tried many times and many things but I am not willing to beat my head against this game. I will be deleting it from my PC.

Jaký je život v aljašské divočině? Jak dlouho byste dokázali přežít? Vyzkoušejte si to v v reálném čase a prověřte své strategické schopnosti. V e-River Cabin Journal okusíte život v drsných podmínkách Aljašky. Obzvlášť zimy tu bývají kruté a nebezpečí (třeba v podobě divoké zvěře) na vás číhá na každém neopatrném kroku. Dokážete se o sebe postarat? Musíte ubránit sebe i obydlí, sehnat jídlo, vystačit se zásobami nebo chodit pro dříví, abyste v chatě udrželi teplo. A to není všechno. Děj je v angličtině, popisován je prostřednictvím deníku (tzv. “Diary Driven PC Game”), který píše vaše herní postava a ovládá se pomocí myši. Na začátku hry vyberete jednu z postav, obtížnost hry a místo, kde postavíte dřevěnou chatu. Polohu volíte tak, aby byla dobře dostupná civilizaci, a startovní sadu vybíráte s věcmi, které myslíte, že hůře obstaráte. Děj začíná ve stejné datum, jako je právě v reálném světe a prostředí hry se přizpůsobí aktuálnímu ročnímu období. http://vlcata.sk/e-river-cabin-journal/

Frustrating but fun game. The number of bear attacks here is ridiculous. If you are also gonna buy and play this game now, be warned, because the game is sync to real life time, and it's almost winter, even right now in November it's always around -10C degrees everyday. Will still recommend it though, because there is nothing like an immersive experience like this out there.

never played a game that has fast forward but you can only use it if you have fast forward credits. complete waste of time and money. don't waste yours like i did mine lol
