Nope. Nope. Nope. Its very clear that this is an indie game in early access, but still. I can't really see how this game can be any good in the future. Below average graphics, awful sound fx and bad gameplay. Controls are meh (often you can't even see anything to pick up, but you know its there).
I regret buying this game, but its too late to ask for a refund. All I can do is warn others about this game.
Do NOT buy. 2/10 and is thrown right into the the category of crap games and hidden in my library for good. What a waste of money and time.

I had this game since Oct 2018 and been patient for the bug fixes to play ,at this stage you basically still cant play it and the dev wants $14. Complete joke save your money im not sure they will ever get it fixed by the looks of it some of the bugs that were their at the beginning are still there today. I can no longer recommend this game

Job well done. Quick reminder that this game is early access to those who tend to forget. The developer has done a wonderful job so far. Can't recall the last time an early access game looked this good. I hope he/she will get enough support and has the drive to continue to improve and expand the game.

10 hours playing before board with the game. Most objects in game have no use. Updates are slow, (as of 12-14-2019 they still have not delivered the update due at end of February, so non existent would be a more accurate statement) Game seemed to have promise but no improvements have been made since i bought the game Will update review if my opinion changes.
okay so its now December 14 and still not a single update for a year now, a few messages saying its almost done, you know the old carrot on a stick trick. Glad I only got took for 15$ and it wasn't a full priced game. gives early access games a bad name.

After waiting a year and through many broken promises for an update this game has taken a huge step back. Literally everything about this game is worse now. Definitely not worth buying in this state.
Update June 26, 2020: After giving this game one last chance with "Major Update Version 1.0" it's abundantly clear it will likely never reach any potential it may once have had. To say it's broken would be an understatement. Progression is virtually impossible. Stone cannot be gathered or mined in any way. No quests other than the first quest of meet the campers will complete. Trading does not work. The flashlight is a small circle of light always focused on the ground in front of the player's feet so the light doesn't follow where you are looking. There's nothing aside from twine or rope to craft, build, or do as the most fundamental aspects of the game are non-functioning and as such you cannot acquire the necessary resources through any means whether that be gathering, trading, or completing quests. And this is after nearly three years since game release.
If I were to compare the current build of the game with the completely different and functional build that was originally released I would swear they were made by two entirely different developers. One statement from the current update news says it all, "There are so many changes that I cannot remember them all..." Translation: There is no changelog, just haphazard development that doesn't know where it's going or where it's been. And this is clear by the current, unplayable state of the game. Don't waste your money.

I get that it's early access but it's horrible lol. I played for about 15 minutes, very laggy even at the lowest setting, and I don't have a bad computer. It crashed twice. Needs major work.

I love this game and the concept is truly outstanding it came out originally at a time when no one was doing pandemic post apopalyptic games. The dev is a single person working on the game and i highly recommend it as he is updating it anew under new engine. Join us on this fun game and see if you can use some of the survival skills you garner in real life lol have fun

PLEASE NOTE: This is my Personal Opinion on what needs to be fixed, Changed or Added Into the game as this is an Alpha game There is bound to be bugs and glitches in the game which im sure will be taken care of as soon as possible. I love the game its truly Amazing and a great Idea It just needs a little more work done and ofcourse that was promised to us that he will keep working on it It just takes Time to do the Coding Necessary KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK Can't wait to see more progress done
Theres a Bug when you Craft the crafting station and sleep in a sleeping bag the Crafting Table dissapears atleast it did for me... You Die without warning of your health getting low... I wish there was a better map because I got completly lossed atleast make markers please ... The food is so Few and Far Between just like Branches... You should be able to Boil water to make Clean water... I truly hope he puts Animals in game... as of right now its Always day out... I wish they would make it so you can work on building up your Stamina with stats as you can do that in IRL ... The shop keep when you click on what he sales it wont let you switch back to your items so you can sale to him... Please make it so we have the Option to Continue or start over whenever we Die Depending on what Difficulty we set it at before we enter the game

For now I will be very brief because the game is at very early stages and wouldn't be fair to talk a lot about Pros and Cons, because let's face it, there are plenty of both! But who care's it's early access and that's great because the players get to choose how the game is molded and which direction it goes.
But that said I am really enjoying the atmosphere and it's a nice refreshing break from all the other survival games out there.
At the current stage there isn't a lot to do other than explore and gather food and water, herbs for trading and basic crafting of structures etc. So it's really just the point of survival now, but the Road map looks amazing! Soon animal AI will also cause threats and eventually Disaster Events will be the focus and this will push the player to prepare for this occasion.
If you are looking for another DAY Z or SCUM type game then look elsewhere! This is a Player versus the Environment game and that is the very thing that people should expect as it's really for the purists out there. It's a thing called Hardcore Survival! This is a game that you can lose yourself for hours and forget about work etc. Wander the environment listen to the sounds of nature and just take in the wonderful atmosphere the game has to offer.
I must say the best thing about this game is the great community and very hard working committed Development Team.
These 2 guys are working day in and day out to improve and polish this already marvelous stone into a precious Gem that it will be one day. I am certain of this! I played a lot of similar games out there, but never have I been so impressed at such an early stage in development. The passion, the devotion it just pours out, like paint onto a canvas! I have to admit at first I was hesitant, but now the more I play the more I am addicted.
This is really all I have to say for now, but I will be updating my review after Early access, so I can really show off the features and also add some videos of the game play.
Peace to all and happy gaming!
