I think that the unlock system is broken. Days are too short and the gameplay is somewhat repetitive. But the potential for this game is huge.

This game is INSANELY underrated just because it's in Vr, if you're at all interested in a high performance insanely realistic looking vr survival game with in depth mechanics, unique enemies, and an actually interesting story and setting, this is the game.

To Bootstrap Developers I do not dislike anything about Bootstrap. But I would like to share some Ideas or recommendations. 1.) There could be indigenous people through the island that you could trade with. Like gems found in chests on the beach or items they want. But you have to find an item or craft to blend in or they will try to kill you. 2.) More weapons like you can sharpen a stick or craft stone tools. You can also make a stone ax or pickaxe for chopping down trees for wood and mine for iron for crafting, or gems for trading. 3.) This is a stretch but if y’all could add multiplayer it could bring in more people to play the game and would be fun. Thanks for considering my ideas.

I can use a pistol to do the following: Shoot food Shoot open coconuts Shoot a campfire to light it Shoot a torch to light it Who knows what else. That's all I've been doing is figuring out what I can set on fire with a flintlock pistol. I'm sure I'll enjoy the game when I actually start playing it.
