Interesing concept, making me feel like playing a survivel game, while not being pretencious, specially for the price. Excellent for the ones whoe like the genre. Besides, it has an fantastic narrative, with lovely characters and strong quotes that made me reflect about mt life. The pixel art is also really cute. It has some bugs, but from what've been reading from previous reviews, they've fixed most of the ones mentioned, cause they didn't happen to me. The gameplay was solid. In the end, it's really worth it, especially because the devs have been improving it, fixing every bug encountered.

"Don't give up" tells the story of a young woman discouraged with the life that after a car accident needs in the form of a ghost to protect her body until help arrives in the morning picking up items on the map and building ways to keep her stable. We can say that this is a game of survival with maintenance of resources, we have to control four distinct bars of energy that require strategic use of our time in addition to several challenges that hold the attention making what seemed a common indie game into something quite challenging. The graphic is simple and beautiful, working without problems for the game proposal. The music is also not bad and the increasingly difficult gameplay curve maintains a lasting replay factor (although, at times, it seems frustrating precisely because of the difficulty)

The game has an interesting narrative that makes us think about our lives. Although simple, the mechanics provide a challenge to keep the body alive as the game progresses. I can't wait to see how the game will look in its final version. Recommended!

This game is very delightful on the first play through and I hope to change my mind in later releases. The game starts with an interesting narrative involving a girl having a car accident and her soul being released from her body. After a short dialogue with "death" we quickly find ourselves in a forest staring over our characters body and wondering what to do. There were no prompts, hints or any directions given to the player and considering the ridiculously small time frame you have to actually leave the locale of the body before being killed, there is little chance for the player to actually understand what is required without multiple failures and a sprinkle of luck that the items you need are actually nearby. A phone indicates a timer of one hour? Are we expected to sit protecting the girl for this long in one sitting? Perhaps I was confused or missed something. I managed to build all of the items in one attempt to then find myself just sat on the body doing nothing for around 5 minutes. Eventually the things you build collapse and you need to craft them again and so the loop continues endlessly without any indication of progression or if there is any more to the game than this small scene. After an hour of waiting around and eventually being killed by death enough times, I got bored and decided I had enough of not feeling like the game was actually going anywhere. I won't be recomending this game on this occasion. --------------------------------------------------------- if I have missed something or perhaps missed something crucial, please leave a comment below and let me know. I'm willing to give it another shot, because the game itself was quite enjoyable until I mentioned above. I can clearly see there are 29 achievements and I only managed to unlock 5 of them leading me to believe there is additional levels and story to unlock. Thanks!

Game Play w/ tips tricks, and time stamps how to beat the early access version: https://youtu.be/ffoqIz9T5xw Game is probably the only survival game I've enjoyed for it's simplicity. Starting the tutorial by giving the flower to the chick was hecka confusing since it's hard to figure out how to even give her items. I ran into a bunch of glitches if you die once it goes into Portuguese and you can't turn it back without restarting the whole game and reading the whole intro again. I gave her a strawberry as a separate item without it being a completed fruit bowl it wouldn't allow me to make fruit bowls anymore. Not sure if this is a glitch but death comes at 1/3 will power instead of empty and just straight up ganks you so you have to keep it above half to be safe. The bonfire says 3 stones 2 kindling as well but it seems to actually take 2 stones and 3 kindling. That early access to be continued hurt my soul though after struggling through the glitches. Great start to a game but man after waiting for 30 minutes that hurt. Game is cute dialogue so far is pretty fun and the main thing I look forward to so far. Definitely recommend if you want a difficult management/survival type game hopefully the creators will put achievements as well.

"Don't Give Up" has relatively simple mechanics, but they work very well within the game context. The game raises existential and philosophical questions that make you ponder but without being too pretentious. Even with a high challenge level, the game keeps you engaged and makes you want to go forward to see what happens next. Recommended!
