Was pretty excited about it at first but after around 14 hours I gave up on it. I like that its simple and cozy. But the basics are not well made in my eyes. Too much digging, too much walking around with no hints and clues. Handling the items in your bag and collecting is horrible. When you die, you start from your base and have to walk ages back to where you died. And in my eyes 50% of all materials and what you can build from it would have been enough. Its way too complex the more you play it and thats not needed in my eyes. Its a bit sad because the idea is very nice and it has some very nice ideas in it but the main game play for me was just annoying and frustrating after a while. Some people might like it and for the money its okay. But I think it could have been way better with focussing on the way through the story instead of making the player dependent on so much digging, walking and building.

Unfortunately disappointed. It starts with controls and ends with guiding through the maps. In addition I personally think the puzzles all related to the manual are making things unnecessarily difficult. The nice details get lost in basics that just dont feel right. I had it very often, that I needed to check seconds sources to check what to do next. A clear path was missing for me. Controls during combats in my eyes feel way too slow and clumsy. Sometimes it feels like things are just not reacting / working. All in all a very good try but price and basic gameplay do not match in the end. Its one of the rare games I stopped playing after a while because it wasnt fun anymore. Better basic gameplay, controls and a clear path would have made this game way better instead of adding all this puzzles in the manual. Its like the clear concept got lost at a certain point.
