thank God I bought this at 90% OFF because paying the whole price of $14 for this game is funny. Here's the list of what you'll experience when you play this game:
1. Movement mechanics is clunky, there are object model issues where your character should've walked through it but for some dumb reason cannot. Your character cannot melee attack during walking/running, if you attack, your character will need to stay still, which is annoying when you're trying to hunt animals, realistically we can move both our hands and feet at the same time right? we should be able to smack someone while chasing them.
2. THERE IS NO JUMP MOVEMENT AT ALL in this game, small obstacles or just a bit of inclined terrain will get you killed at some points.
3. You will freeze to death many times here but for some stupid reason any food that is prone to spoilage will spoil if it's in your inventory/storage chest, its like your inventory has built in heater to spoil the food instead of it getting frozen as well and preventing it from rotting. Hey Dev! Your game takes place in a never ending winter, food spoiling should be the least of the player's worry here.
4. In playing multiplayer, the host of the saved file must be online and playing so the other players can join as well, if the host is not playing, you can't join in the world ya'll are playing at on your own, if the host for whatever reason exits his game, all the other players will get kicked out. The host must be playing as well if you want to play and make progress in your multiplayer world, which is dumb. I am the host of our multiplayer world but thinking about it from the opposite perspective, it must be annoying when you want to grind but cannot because you need the host to invite you and play with you lol.
5. Taming wolves/deer has bugs, you'll encounter stuff like the wolf will still bite you and will lose its "tamed status", JUST RIGHT AFTER TAMING IT lol.
6. Fruits and vegetables spoils just as quickly as meat, which is again idiotic, it's a frozen world, fruits and vegetables have way longer shelf life even in tropical places. Even chocolate bars spoils quickly in this winter game. This game is trying to showcase some degree of survival realism in winter but tries to make it hard in nonsensical way, the premise of this game is winter, you're trying not freeze to death, but the foods feel like they are in the beach summer and spoils rapidly.
7. When you die at any point in the map you'll keep what you're wearing but drop everything in your inventory, and will respawn only at "Main Base" regardless of where you put your shelter at, in fact your shelter and crafting house will return to you when you restart to the "Main Base". While all the storage chests and stuffs inside it that you built alongside your previous base location will be left there. You cannot set a customized spawn point in this game at the current patch.
8. All the chests, furnaces, bonfires, and signs you put in the world will stay there forever, the game does not have dismantle/remove/move functions yet for those buildings at the current patch.
I thought this game was new at first, but I was surprised when I searched about this game in yt, most videos were from 6-8 years ago. No wonder this has very little audience, maybe because of the things I mentioned above which made players quit because they didn't enjoyed playing. I love open world adventure survival crafting/building games, and I admit this game has a good premise and fun idea behind it but regrettably failed to execute it successfully.
