I love crafting survival games, but this one adding the element of meditation was just a cool little addition. I would love if they gave the option to have a guided meditation with every meditation station use.

nice game to play, beautiful scenery. not the typical way to unlock recipes, i like the new take on survival that this gives. would have liked to explore the buildings in the distance in the last map

As a survival game, it looks easy; however, the start is far from it. Those YouTubers who recorded themselves starting were not wrong. Build one thing, get sick die, build another thing, get bitten die, and consume a pathogen that can not find plants, then die. OMG, my daughter thinks it's hilarious. I died so much. The graphics are stunning. It is annoyingly addictive so I highly recommend

The graphics are really nice and so is the scenery. It is a bit clunky though. The Map doesn't tell you where you are and it does't list any of your trail marker flags. I am a bit of a video game hoarder and the storage in this game is a bit rough. I feel like I need to keep making more storage chests. Also You only have the ability to destroy builds. It doesn't give you back all the mats, and it doesn't give you the option to move built items. I hope in the Future it will give us the ability to move things around (like campfires, rain water catchers, farming pot plots etc.). I like that the Farming planters keep the same plant planted in it once harvested. That was really nice! It will probably be nicer once you have a larger farm going... Death in this game.... I have died way too many times in this game where I am not in active combat... I die mainly to malnutrition. Even though I keep my hunger bar filled, even after getting all the food categories above 90%, I still end up dying with the malnutrition debuff. The one that keeps doing me in is the fat, meat doesn't seem to cover it sadly, you need to cook the fat into meals or just straight up eat rendered fat. For the past 3 nights a snake has bitten me while I slept and I have to make something to cure myself, its pretty annoying. I look around the area and there's no snake to be found. Its gotten to the point where I save at night before sleeping and If my health gets to about 1/2 of the health bar for whatever reason i just exit to the main menu and reload. I see all the cool stuff people have built and I cant even make it out of the first area. I die too much and I am sure that's how the game is intended... but I like games that allow me to play in an easier game mode... something that gives me a little more time to explore without having to mainly focus on making sure i get ALL the food types so I don't keep dying from malnutrition... q_q And subtitles... I miss most of the things that voice keeps trying to tell me... I will probably wait for the game to smooth out a little more before I play it again. Although I didn't like it right now it I am sure others will like the more difficult game play.

So i picked this up after seeing a brief play through on floppyswords channel and I'm so very glad i did! I absolutely love this game! ive only played for a few hours but in that time i was fully immersed! Its visually stunning, the sound design is impeccable, and its so perfect for anyone who suffers from chronic anxiety but enjoys the mechanics of a survival game. Theres no feeling of impending doom, no loud, abrasive crashes or screams, from the rain to the background music all of it is perfectly designed to allow you to enjoy the environment without experiencing any of the stress or frustrations of the usual survival games but still requires you to work to survive. Thoroughly enjoying it.
