The gameplay is praised for its potential and engaging mechanics, with unique elements like lore-friendly survival tasks. However, players note significant challenges due to a lack of guidance and technical issues, such as inventory bugs, which can hinder the experience, especially for newcomers. Despite these drawbacks, many believe the game is worth playing, especially given its early access status and functional mechanics.
“The gameplay is amazing and this has a ton of potential, definitely worth a play!”
“Early access but I just love the gameplay!”
“Basic gameplay elements such as drinking water to keep you alive past the ten-minute mark are presented in-game 'lore friendly' ways with no actual help with control difficulty.”
“The gameplay has potential, but the lack of direction given to the player and the various technical bugs that delete items in your inventory makes the game incredibly difficult to start, especially for new players that you want to impress.”
“In a market being flooded with early access shovelware, abandonware, and games that are barely past the point of concept, this game stands out for having been released in a state where many mechanics are rough but at least already in the game and functional with a little bit of fiddling.”
