9 / 10 Great, but there are lots of flawed decision making. Eg. finite resources, Permadeath, and a slilly sequence full of jank where you have to risk everything on jumping from ledge to ledge right at the end of the game!

April 2024

Such a love/hate relationship I have with this game On the surface, it's a typical open world survival horror crafting game with it's own form of base-building and tower defense The atmosphere is amazing. Lovecraftian all the way to it's core, basing itself from the tale 'At The Mountains of Madness' https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860151238 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860151011 "Fade to Silence" plunges players into a chilling Lovecraftian world where survival is not just a goal, but a constant, harrowing journey in fighting insanely difficult enemies to looking for other survivors to help assist you at your refuge camp. From the moment you step into this desolate landscape, the game envelops you in an atmosphere dripping with dread and despair. Yet, it's the game's atmosphere that truly sets it apart. The oppressive silence of the frozen wasteland is broken only by the distant howls of unseen beasts and the whispers of madness that echo in the wind. It's a world where every shadow hides a lurking terror, and every step forward brings you closer to the abyss. This game can be EXTREMELY unfair.. which brings up my love/hate relationship with it. There's a permadeath variant to where if you lose your 'flames' ( I believe you start with 3 to begin, with more to be discovered in the game) and if you lose those flames. You have to start the game completely over. So just imagine surviving 30 days in-game only to be wiped out by a one kill from an enemy called 'The Stalker' or freezing to death in a blizzard because you traveled to far from camp to look for supplies. The combat tries to be Souls-like but it's a little janky especially playing with keyboard and mouse. It's not the worst, however it's not the best, but it's enough to keep me playing it and attempting to beat it. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2860150998 But amidst the darkness, there is hope to be found in the form of base building. As you scavenge for resources and recruit survivors to your cause, you'll gradually construct a refuge from the encroaching madness. Building and fortifying your base becomes not only a means of survival but a beacon of defiance against the encroaching darkness. Each upgrade brings a sense of accomplishment and security due to a complex and sometimes grindy crafting system, a temporary respite from the horrors that lurk beyond your walls. Make sure you find as many Flames as possible hehe. Soooo in conclusion.. Do i recommend this game? YES if you fall in the following group: You love lovecraft themed games. This one is a good adaption of HP's tale. If you love punishing survival games, or intriguing stories. I think you should give this game a go, but be warned. It can be unfair and you will die alot. So tread that 'winter wonderland wasteland' carefully 8/10

A bit rough around the edges but still enjoyable. The game feels inspired by Darkwood even though it differs on many aspects. The permadeath mechanic drawed me in and made me stay even though it does not really feel like it comes into play, but it is a nice way to make things feel more consequential at least. The game does feel like it does not reach its full potential though and like things are left a bit "unfinished" and not entirely thought out. There is a skilltree but if you never die permanently you never get to use it it seems. The enemies are probably the major weakpoint of the game since they never really changes except for a stronger variant and different color. Combat really becomes quite trivial once you understand the enemy patterns and it does hurt the game quite a lot. The follower and basebuilding mechanic is nice even though I found a couple of the followers really annoying. Big downside is the very cluttered HUD without any elements fading out when you don't need to see them or any options for it. But yes, overall if you expect things to be a bit rough this game feels interesting in many aspects, much thanks to the looming permadeath mechanic (that honestly does not come into play if you are not completely careless) that at least hangs in the background and make things feel more involving if you like that sort of thing and at least have the potential of big consequences if you really screw up big time.

For the first three hours, I honestly love it. Yes, it has couple of aspects to it, so neither one is stunning, but as an open world survival/soulsborne game - it gets really close to hitting all the checkmarks for me. The often-seen complaint about the map never changing isn't quite understandtable to me, as the map seems really, really big, and other games in same genre (The Long Dark) don't have ever-changing map either, so... not sure what the issue is. TBH I think this is also on purpose because map awareness makes you far more efficient in subsequent playthroughs. Also I haven't permadied just yet, and I am not sure how to unlock perma-upgrades - there's a whole tree of them! - but overall, I am really liking this one, and I absolutely love that it features permadeath. Not to worry, its not instantaneous, you have several "lives", which can also be looted and you can upgrade the max amount you start with anyway. No need to really explain the game, just watch someone play a bit and you'll get it yourself. IMO, its very well worth the cash.

The game was longer than i thought, its a bit basic and the game-play has a few minor bugs like getting stuck or objects flying away. But the plot and lore seemed strong and the difficulty at the beginning was tough.
