The game is broken, save game feature completely stops working so you either must try to finish in one run or start over every time you start the game. Lighting system (flashlight and lantern) will refuse to work randomly. You cannot invert mouse movement. Enemy hit detection is also broken. It's too bad because this could have been a fun game. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL!!!

Im gonna be straight with you- this is the worst $5 investment you could ever make. You are spawned on with a flashlight and some food, but you cant even carry all the darn food you start with. You eventually find yourself some weapons and truly you do "lose yourself" on the incredible adventure that is this steaming pile of Werewolf Doodoo. Genuine 1/10- please spend your money elsewhere.

Glitchy, cheap trash. Not scary and incredibly stupid. Not even campy.

These positive reviews are either paid or just total morons cause this game is so bad. The axe is totally useless cause the hit detection is so awful that you lose almost all of your health on the easiest enemy, didn't even find the gun but I assume it's the same case with it too. I'm all for games that don't hold your hand when playing but with this that was a bad decision cause even the save feature stops working mid game And who's bright idea was it that when touching water you die instantly

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
