Ok so 6 hours in. If you can't handle the random bug, this is in Alpha state. Wait until it gets more developed but $8 is a steal at the rate this single person development team and even if you don't play it in its current state you will have it for cheap vs if the price is raised later. I have built house but cannot add a roof. I have crafted just about everything, except clothes. As far as I can tell you are in underwear and can make a T shirt. Meat is kinda scarce but not for the lack of things to kill. Foxes are hard to see and kill but provide the same amount of meat and leather as a pig. I killed a wolf but the game crashed immediately after I did it. I haven't tried to reproduce this error. When I killed a Wolf and Foxes I had to be crouched. I assume this is a hit box issue. You can stay underwater in fresh water pretty much forever. You cannot swim in the ocean. I have absolutely no clue what the things flying around are and haven't destroyed one. Resources are a bit of a grind but they do respawn and pretty quickly. There are several crafting "tables" to build to be able to do everything. This is fine but since none of them say what they do it is kinda a guessing game (Crafting Table>Forge>Drying Rack> Woodworking table>Oil Collector will be all you need in that order to build a house.) The woodworking table and oil collector need fuel. Fuel is oil or vegetable fuel. I think oil last longer but am not positive. I haven't found a way to rotate what you are placing so you have to move your person until you get the position needed. Night lighting is absolutely horrid but you can see if you turn to just the right angle. Until you build a bed you can spawn pretty much anywhere on the first island which is only a problem because you have no map to guide you. There are land markers that help a bit though. Once you know what you are doing the game plays better than some AAA games. The story isn't there yet but it does let you know it is an Early Alpha release. For a single person doing all the work. 10/10 There is plenty of potential and even if there wasn't I have spent more than $8 on games I have beat in 3 hours and never touched again.

A very early alpha release game with a lot of potential. The game is playable but still has many points for improvement, as can be expected at this stage of development.

Generic survival game pretty good for alpha but would be better with zombies and wildlife trying to kill you.

The dev has pretty much abandoned this game due to its inability to attract buyers. He didn't even give it 2 whole months before throwing in the towel! Very disappointing! As for the game itself, its boring, glitchy and has very little content. Of course no one will buy it in its current state, broken, boring and abandoned. I bought this game with the trust and expectation that RGS would continue to develop it but I was wrong. Please don't make the same mistake I did and spend your money on a game that has a future.

It says that it’s early Alpha, personally I would say Pre-Alpha. The game seems to be made by a single developer and He/She has quite an uphill battle with: Lighting, Balancing, bugs and more. So far I have recorded 2 episodes. Even though I think it should have been released as Pre-Alpha, I think that the game is worth playing even though the immortal wolves P*ss*d me off. https://youtu.be/aiKFNJc6ksM
