Played for 4 hours and couldn't even finish the game because of bugs The gameplay itself is mid, don't waste your time

try not to die within the first 30 seconds: The game

Do you like survival? Do you like adding an element of horror to the survival? Do you want a creepy looking entity that looks like a cracked out version of Steve Buscemi occasionally stalking you in that survival horror game? Yes? THEN THIS GAME IS FOR YOU... I loved this game. You basically start off naked and afraid on a mysterious island where the main goal is to gather supplies to build a raft to escape the island and ultimately beat the game starting off with a hatchet, a torch, and a wagon that is basically a mini base that stores items. As you progress through the game, you will ultimately upgrade your wagon to help make exploring the giant maze on the island easier to gather resources for the raft as well as resources to craft stronger equipment to fight off enemies... The enemies themselves range from simple forest creatures such as deer and boars that will give you supplies after slaughtering them to more dangerous "cryptids" (As I decided to personally label them) that vary in strength and can ruin your day (BEWARE OF STEVE). There are stone archways throughout the maze you can find to instantly teleport you back to your personal cabin next to the entrance of the maz…

Played this blind with some buddies last night. It's fun once. Janky in some places. Horror elements fall off quickly and then you're just filling out a shopping list that serves as your main quest. Combat's pretty annoying and bosses are damage sponges, but we didn't try to get too creative when we beat them. Food is super abundant for keeping you bars filled, so it was less of a survival element than I had expected. None of the weapons except the antler spear felt impactful, but the bow quickly became my mainstay since it was so convenient. The game centers around an upgradeable cart that serves kind of like a mobile base, resource depot, and crafting bench. Get the lantern, sleeping bag, and fire ASAP and in that order. The ballista upgrade does not deal enough damage to warrant setting up and breaking down the cart to aim it. I liked the monsters, generally. In particular, I was fond of the False Faces because they were creating comedy. One of your friends will say "I'm going into the maze to get something" and run off with your only clue that they have died being a distant thunderclap, which is the signature sound of being obliterated by a False Face. It's not a scary game a…

Pretty fun though seems low on gameplay variety and lore. Also quite short. After 8 hours I feel like I've seen 90% of what the game has to show (hard mode might have some more depth as far as I know. Havent tried it yet). I'd recommend to wait till the devs add stuff and polish the rough edges first. As for now I feel like it's overpriced

Just completed the game with 2 of my buddies, and it was definitely worth it. although it did take us 10 hours to beat. this was definitely worth buying, as giving us something to actually look for as an ending. I would say 10/10. P.S: YOU DIE A LOT, so expect to die ALOT.
