Really surprised with how engaging this game was. It was nice to have a purpose and a story blended together with a tech tree builder game. Felt rewarding to keep going for the next clue and next area to see what was next, or to solve a required task. I give it a 9/10 for being a really solid tech adventure game.

This game is awesome! I just finished it and holy moly, what an ending! About 30 hours of exploring, gathering, crafting, and building. Pretty much what you'd expect from this game. But the story, which started inconspicuous, developed and got more and more captivating and deeper. And the amount of audio dialogues between the characters create a wonderful immersion into this adventure. And that's what lifts this game into top league. This was a memorable experience.

Great game, great story! Not an automation game.

I do not like the grind.

All I can say is ....Wow...I did not expect to get pulled into a little game like this. I judge a game by the way I feel at the end when it is all over and I have to say I was stunned at how good it was.I am an old gamer and this game made me feel like I was playing Parasite eve or Legend of Zelda for the first time. You did a fantastic job and I thank you for the experience.

I really liked this game as an enjoyer of base-building/survival crafting. There is a lot of opportunity for customization in the way you build your base and the resource-gathering becomes fairly autonomous after a while. The devs focused on story for this game which typically I don't care about in a game like this but it was pretty enjoyable. My only complaints are 1) the interface focusing on mouse even with controller was a little jarring but pretty easy to get used to with just some minor quirks (game plays fine with remote play/steam deck) and 2) the last two achievements about cooking and mining are just tedious. One of those things where you do everything else and you still have to spend an hour or two just grinding very boring tasks. Also for achievement hunters, be aware that one of the achievements require that you only ever consume vegetarian options for food. I almost missed that and would've locked myself out of getting it. Overall, I definitely recommend this game for people who like the genre or think it looks neat. It's super well polished, plays well, and is just fun.

just finished the game, really enjoyed my ride ! but GRANDPA ! COME HERE ! WE. NEED. TO. TALK !!!! voices are great, story are great, gameplay is really cool, many QoL are hjere the game is not here to punish you, quite the opposite, Well done ! And thank you :) (it says 39H for completion, but i dont shut down the pc, that would explain the 118H ^^)

I'll try to keep it short. The game has Subnautica vibes in some ways. So, if you like exploration, base building, and a rich story, you should definitely give it a try. It's a perfect example of how small indie studios and solo developers are trying to save the industry. Personally, I had a lot of fun playing it over the weekend, and I loved all the little details the game has to offer. I'm not a professional critic, so I don't want to bore anyone reading this review with a step-by-step analysis. Yes, there are probably some things that could be improved and polished. But in a nutshell, the game has really good lore, a pleasant, non-violent atmosphere (instead of the usual "kill them all" approach), and lets your brain relax for a few days-or even longer. All I want to say to the developer is: thank you, great job, I want more.
