The game's art style is praised for its unique and appealing visuals, with many noting that the graphics look good, especially on high settings. However, there are concerns about performance optimization, as players experience high GPU temperatures despite the relatively simple graphics compared to other titles. Overall, while the graphics show promise, they are seen as unfinished and in need of significant improvement.
“I honestly like the game and art style; the graphics are great considering the style used.”
“The graphics are very simple yet refined and look good on high settings.”
“Awesome looking art style with a promising idea, but sadly abandoned and unfinished.”
“The game has potential, to be sure, but it needs dramatic work to be carried out on optimizing the performance: my GPU registered 63 degrees Celsius when I was playing Survival Camp (SC), yet a game such as Fallout 4 runs at a far lower temperature and its graphics are on a much higher level than those in SC.”

The monetization of the game is heavily criticized, with users labeling it as a cash grab that remains unpolished and abandoned, leading to a disappointing experience that leaves players feeling stuck with a dead game. Overall, potential buyers are strongly advised against purchasing it.
“This is a dead game and abandoned; it is a cash grab still to this day. They toss an unpolished heap and leave it up for sale. You play for a day or two and then are stuck with a game that is completely dead.”

The game shows potential but requires significant optimization to improve performance, as evidenced by high GPU temperatures during gameplay compared to more graphically demanding titles like Fallout 4. While the need for optimization is acknowledged, it is not considered an insurmountable issue.

“Optimizations in the game are much needed, but it's not that dramatic.”

The game features a charming, non-customizable character that players become invested in, despite the lack of a substantial storyline. The desire for the character's survival drives engagement, even in the absence of a traditional narrative.

“The narrative, while simple, draws you in and makes you care about the characters and their journey.”
“The story unfolds in a way that keeps you engaged, making you invested in the outcomes of the characters.”
“The character, which you cannot customize, looks cute, but there is hardly any story to engage with, making it difficult to feel invested in her survival.”
