The game's story shows strong potential, featuring a compelling intro and diverse enemies, but ultimately falls short in depth and development, leaving players wanting more beyond the initial setup. While it offers some engaging elements compared to other survival games, the narrative feels underexplored.
“I wanted to like this; I have been waiting for it to come out for a while to see how well they bring their background story to life.”
“The game has an awesome intro and backstory, but that's really about it.”
“What I can say is it had really good potential. We tried it with our friends a bit, and it's not bad. If I compare it with other survival games, it has both similar and different elements, and it also includes story aspects with various types of enemies.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks coherence, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character development is shallow, leaving me feeling disconnected from the narrative.”
“The plot twists are predictable and fail to deliver any real surprises.”

Players find the grinding aspect of the game excessive, particularly due to the high resource demands for crafting, such as needing 150 bricks which can take around 20 minutes to gather. This has led to concerns that the game is artificially extending playtime without offering significant challenges or threats.
“It was very grindy, asking for a lot of coal to fuel a furnace to churn out brick from stone.”
“The improved crafting station needed 150 brick, which will take maybe 20 or so minutes of grinding.”
“I couldn't help but think they were stretching the time people spent in the game by grinding their first home, unaware that there were no threats at all in the game.”

“Everything is buggy; you hit the letter 'J' and you die. I mean, it is fun for crafting, but there is just too much amiss right now.”
“Early access is for those who want to get in, find the bugs and glitches, and help the developers build the game.”
