Witanlore: Dreamtime

I LOVED the idea that modders were making a full game. So, I purchased it as soon as it became available even though I was not interested in the characters and knew nothing of the story. I just wanted to help them succeed. I have bought games from modders in the past and they were as good as anything out there. But these guys took my money and didn't even deliver a decent tutorial. I bought the game for full price long before it went to less than a buck. Since they promised a lot of things and took our money, then abandoned it, if they had any integrity, they would provide full refunds. It is NOT in Early Access. They walked away from the project once they took our money. Almost everything in the description is a lie. It is nowhere near a game at all, not even a short one. It is a crime called theft. They should be ashamed of themselves for stealing our money. The page and ability to buy it at ANY price should be removed.

I'm all for early access, and I understand that means one will be "testing" a game that is still in development, but come on people! Here's my 47 minutes of gameplay: 1. Install (it installed with "corrupted data" and I had to verify over 85 files before I could play) 2. Make a character. (The avatar didn't save the first time and I had to start over.) 3. Make a character. (There's really no explanation of what the classes are, but it's pretty classic "warrior, rogue, etc." 4. Try to play. (I got as far as walking to a chest next to where one spawns into the world, opening it, and mucking around in my inventory. Apparently this was "out of order, for what the tutorial expected, or something, because I then found I could no longer move - at all.) 5. Try to figure out why I can't move. (No answer was forthcoming) 6. Uninstall. Just...yikes. The art and music was beautiful. I never got to play the game. I don't know why the WASD that worked just fine to walk me over to the chest I opened suddenly disengaged or whatever, but now I cannot move. That means I cannot play. I want my buck back. Just...geeze.

So, this was rough. So, for my sanity I'm gonna review this as someone on a mid range non gaming computer . The game has nice concepts , the world gave me zelda vibes , the voice acting felt right , the lighting / atmosphere felt good . But, game play wise. There was a ton of issue. When, I placed the grapghics to be low . Hoping to acheive 120 fps. I was struggling to get 18ish fps. An that's with a crucible 16 gb ram card + intel 4 gb ram .In the low settings leaves looked bright white, animations were choppy, and character creation was very basic even for a beta build . While, I would recommend this to furries and fans of open world games . This is very hard to recommend for many reasons . Unless, you have a nvidia or gtx grapghic card. This game just won't run well. Even on my intel core i5 that is mid range in gameing . With how much I upgraded my parts . Wintanlore still runs rather poorly . An I can run some pretty heavy games from ue4 gaming sites . I would not recommend this game. This some serious patches and features get added . Because, the beta hardly seems to be getting any updates . This is almost a hard pass . Mainly, because, this game is hardly playable un…

Why is this still on Steam?

Game has not been updated in years, enough said

Last time I tried this game, it had horrible performance issues. It has a really high system requirement, because of non existing optimization, and also possibly the entire map of the game being loaded on the memory. I only managed to play it after loooooooong loading times, and with a horrible fps. You might be able to bear this game depending on how pontent your computer is. Sadly, the developers of this game disbanded the team and all disappeared, so unless they reappear and decide to review the game, the game will remain on this deplorable state.
