✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's unique concept and find it fun in short bursts, but feel it suffers from repetitive gameplay loops, unclear boss mechanics, and lack of content depth. The main frustration centers on slow developer updates, abandoned promises of new missions, and a grindy progression system that wears thin after a few hours, though most agree it's worth trying during a sale.

Fun game, needs a little work to make it more replay able. Mothman ran through my area sprayers twice and down me both times ending my run, idk if it was a purpose design. The willie episode is good in okay, but still fun and I can beat it. Just a bit hard for both episode is finding everything to beat them like fuse, valves, but the gasoline is okay. Fun game with a some problems but if you don't mind them it's a good game. Still gonna play it and get good at the game.

Game has a potential, I kind of like it despite many say the game is abandoned... No intense jumpscares, and it takes time to understand the game, even though there is a tutorial, it does not explain how to fend against the boss that roams around... Get it if it's on a good sale, like 50%...

Enjoyed the idea but the gameplay is tedious and repetitive. Devs seemed to have abandoned the game; there has not been new content in months despite other missions "coming soon".

Loved this game!! It was so much fun! I really hope they make more missions as I see there is a third one in production. The concept of the game is interesting and its different from many of the other games that have a similar vibe which to me made it stand out more.

its honestly underated and its really good. some drawbacks are that the updates take quite long, and the game is dead with barely more then 1 player on. if you have friends willing to buy the game you should grind everything because the lack of content is probally the worst thing. if the develepers update this more i think more people would come to this gameand it would be great. hoping for more updates beacuase I beat the game in 3-4 hours.

Fun and somewhat simple game. The upgrades and skill system are neat, but don't have much depth to them, and eventually becomes very grindy, especially for the final few skills. The gameplay loop is also fun for a bit, but becomes repetitive once you understand how it works, since the difficulty only affects the smaller enemies and the nest's abilities, while the main creature acts the same. If the game is on sale, then it is worth it.
