The gameplay is characterized by simple mechanics and a lack of variety, which can hinder enjoyment as players feel rushed against the clock. While the game features core elements of survival and resource management, the mechanics may not be intuitive for newcomers, leading to initial challenges. Recent updates have aimed to improve the early gameplay experience, making it more accessible for new players.
