The gameplay is criticized for being unengaging and having clunky, poorly explained mechanics, particularly the sleeping and survival systems. While some realism is noted, key features like hunger management feel inconsistent and frustrating, detracting from the overall experience. Users see potential but urge for significant improvements and clearer explanations.
- “The main threat is always close by, so the sleeping mechanic is basically useless. I can only get one or two hours of sleep before the monster shows up, which then causes many negative effects on my character.”
- “I believe this game has potential to be something great, but as of right now, it really needs some work. Positive reviews do not help because they focus on memes rather than gameplay. Please continue to update and fix the mechanics to make it actually playable.”
- “The game is good but some mechanics don't make sense. For example, hunger drains when moving to another level and food rarely appears, making survival challenging.”
- “The main threat is always close by, so the sleeping mechanic is basically useless. I can only get one or two hours of sleep before the monster shows up, and then I'm met with dozens of negative effects on my character.”
- “I believe this game has potential to be something great, but as of right now, it really needs some work. The positive reviews do not help because they're just praising funny memes in the game. Please continue to update and fix the mechanics to make it actually playable.”
