The gameplay in this title showcases impressive detail in gathering, crafting, and building mechanics, especially considering the developers' limited resources. However, many players find the core mechanics, including movement, to be unwieldy and frustrating, leading to mixed feelings about the overall experience. While there are promising updates and a unique concept, significant improvements are needed for the gameplay to be fully enjoyable and recommendable.
“The amount of detail and effort the devs are putting into the gathering, crafting, and building mechanics, as well as the environment, at this stage (despite not having the funding of bigger teams) is pretty impressive.”
“I feel there aren't enough games out there like this concept, and it's really nice to have something like this to fall back on when I just want to have a more relaxing gameplay experience.”
“I will say, however, that I tried the highly unstable but more updated version of this alpha you can switch to via Steam's game properties, and while entirely unplayable, I did see that many of the core mechanics I found unwieldy had at least some attempt (even if early and still not functional) to take them in exactly the direction it seemed like they should be taken.”
“I'm just disappointed in the basic movement and mechanics for now.”
“But sadly, I still cannot recommend this game because the basic game mechanics do not work for me.”
“Once again, I like the way it's headed, but these major things that are crucial to the base gameplay have got to get fixed for me to continue playing.”

Overall, the visuals contribute significantly to the game's immersive experience, making it stand out in the VR genre.

“The graphics are good and the new cave system is beautiful.”
“The graphics look good for a VR title - the atmosphere is appropriate - seems like they used the Unreal Engine.”
“Graphics are meh.”

Suggestions for additional missions indicate a desire for more interactive and immersive storytelling elements.
“Progress cuts off at some point and the storyline doesn't really exist.”
“This game has insane potential... I confess it is a bit bare bones right now, but from the first quest you finish, you can see where this game is going, and it just gets better from there.”
“Maybe you could add a mission where you have to grow carrots and find the donkey in the forest and tame it by feeding it carrots or something.”
