Wasting Away

good news the game would run, bad news you stuck on the first map without instruction.

This game has no checkpoints had to start over.

Игра 'Wasting Away' - это мрачный, вдумчивый симулятор выживания в зомби-апокалипсисе, фокусирующийся на медленном, но неуклонном ухудшении состояния персонажа. Здесь нет бесконечной стрельбы и динамичных экшен-сцен. Вместо этого, игра предлагает внимательно следить за потребностями выжившего, искать ресурсы в унылых локациях и бороться с физическим и психическим истощением. Мне понравилась атмосфера безнадежности, которая пронизывает каждую деталь игры. Зомби здесь представляют собой не просто мишени, а постоянную угроз. Тяжелые решения, касающиеся моральных компромиссов и распределения скудных ресурсов, заставляют задуматься о цене выживания. Графическое исполнение довольно простое, но хорошо передает ощущение разрухи и упадка. Однако, геймплей может показаться несколько монотонным, особенно на первых этапах. Отсутствие четкой цели, кроме выживания, может отпугнуть игроков, привыкших к более структурированным играм. Но тем, кто ищет реалистичный и психологически сложный опыт, 'Wasting Away' определенно стоит внимания. Это игра, которая заставляет чувствовать, а не просто развлекает.

A light horror game where you're a journalist investigating a string of murders in the woods. Played in VR with the UEVR mod TLDR; Kinda janky, bad checkpoints, very atmospheric, okay story. I like it's look and feel, the constant woodland sounds are very atmospheric, the pixel art is interesting and well done, and the level design is unexpected and fun. But, it's not done. The control aren't found in the menu but pop up if you hold H. The throw button is middle click, which is the only one you need to know. I got trapped by a deer that walks straight to your location no matter what. You find it right before you go into a house with one entrance/exit so it followed me across the map and pined me to death. Which isn't so bad except the worst thing which is the checkpoints, they're at the beginning of levels. You do all of this slow sneaking, find a bunch of stuff, and at any point you can die to the hyper aggressive AI, sending you back 30 minutes, easily. Sure, you know what to do now but you'll rush, get caught quickly, run around a ton trying to lose them, and have saved no time. It's a simple fix, the areas are a bunch of mini areas strung together in a line and there could …

"Wasting Away" is a badly made first person horror adventure with some badly mismatched assets and no real compelling reason to want to play it. It does seem some genuine effort went into trying to make a game here, but the quality of the assets, visuals, writing and everything else is deplorably low. It's free... now, but it wasn't before. It's a nice gesture for the game to be given away for free, but it also tells us that the game wasn't good enough to succeed as a paid product. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

This game has NO checkpoints so if you die you reset back The enemies are super annoying you cant avoid them Its free to play The artstyle is pretty good
