This is quite possibly the best survival game I have ever played. And all you do is move cards. (Goes to show graphics is nothing, gameplay is everything.) The depth of the experience, the need to survive day by day, by patiently, gradually building everything you need to make it... the different tropical environments, different animals, skills you need to level up - it's just all so satisfying. There is a lot of grind in this game, but it's grind that doesn't feel pointless. Also, a note if you don't like games that are too "big" (both map-wise and in terms of complexity) - this game is NOT overwhelming. There isn't a million things coming at you at the same time, you're not timed - as in, you can think about an action however long you want, time doesn't pass until you click on the action. That makes it a relaxing experience, even if it does feel that the stakes are high - as the game is pretty brutal (unless you play on the easiest level). You're also only controlling one character, so you get invested in them and don't have to be managing a whole colony of million survivors. In a nutshell - this game's low on chaos, high on difficulty and satisfaction :) I would recommend it to anyone who likes the survival genre.

After maybe an hour of playing the game, I'm already convinced this is the best survival game out there on the market. It does not hold your hand, there is a lot of complexity involved. It seems to be very well balanced with great pace and you don't feel rushed because the time is based on your actions. I did not perform well my first go around and things quickly got out of hand simply because I neglected more important things while making relatively unimportant things like weaving fiber to make baskets. I died after 4 days. I had a great experience anyway, and the game is very immersive. it's just an absolutely brilliantly designed game. I'm gonna dump a lot of hours into this I already know lol.

15 bucks for a card game that looks like something my daughter made in programming class? doesn't feel worth... or so i thought. this game is suspiciously addictive and is mandatory for anyone who likes the survival genre. what it does with simple and intuitive gameplay beat what many prettier games. this game does draw a lot of inspiration from green hell and other first / third person survival games, but surpasses them in terms of simulation depth. don't let the card system fool you, it's just as deep / time consuming if not more so than the others. i was tempted to buy the game again on android just to feed the addiction

For what it is, yes I do like this game. It is a long burn, micro-progression rogue-lite survival game. I hope the dev gives more time to the fiddly UI. Just make dedicated sections of the board to for all the categories. A section for the places you can go, the harvestable resources in that location. Food in one place, Crafting in another. Put the explore button on the location card. No need for a seperate menu for that. Heck I think making the UI progress from wonky/fiddly to clear/precious is a great idea! YOu have a good thing here. Polish it and you will have started a genre all it's own.
