The story aspect of the game is criticized for its lack of depth and brevity, with some players noting it can be completed in about 120 minutes. The narrative is primarily delivered through text-based cutscenes, which can lead to punishing gameplay if players are not familiar with the necessary choices. While some appreciate the combination of survival elements and storytelling, many feel the overall execution is lacking, recommending alternative games for a better experience.
“Interesting combo of survival with story and choices.”
“Those who enjoy peeling back a story while fighting an environment that is unforgiving should like it.”
“The lack of story is evident, as it only takes about 120 minutes to complete if you go straight through it. Additionally, your needs deplete rapidly, and if you break your only water bottle or run out of resources, you can expect a quick game over. The 'cutscenes' are merely text and can instantly kill you, making the game severely punishing unless you know exactly what decisions to make to survive. I would recommend playing Neo Scavenger instead; it's much better and worth your money more than this current garbage.”
“In order to open the option to save the game at the first village, I have to escape the cave, but the quest doesn't appear unless I try fighting the mutant - which is essentially a death wish.”
“Running away prevents the next quest from opening up, which adds to the frustration of the gameplay.”
