It Comes In Waves

This game was disappointing, i wasnt expecting a whole lot from the game and it still kind of underdelivered. I cant say much positive about the game its got an interesting concept with the specimen growing and you needing to take it to a certain place while not dying of thirst and a cool albeit small world but praises end there. The game is a glorified walking and waiting simulator you walk around a large mostly empty space finding water so you dont die of thirst while waiting for a specimen on your back to grow to take it to the end of the game. you walk to a place grab stuff then walk to the next maybe shooting some guys on the way i feel like this game would benefit greatly from any amount of depth maybe some type of vehicle or more in-depth mechanics with gathering water or just something but it really just dosent have any depth, also the game is not very polished and feels like a student project at best. My biggest gripe is the story, i guess its just because of the games length but if the story was more developed other then some npc's at the beginning of the game not liking you then it could make up for lackluster gameplay, flesh out why people dont like the player character flesh out other specimen deliverers or maybe why the world is the way it is, it makes me sad seeing an interesting concept be so boring and have nothing too it. Overall id say this game is like a 2/10 more interesting as a concept then as an actual game, i dont want to be mean but its not worth the time or money even if its less then a dollar.

A very Short atmospheric Experience, i would not call it much of a game but it's decent at what it does, fun for the hour it takes to finish.

Neutrale bis leicht negative Bewertung.... Durchaus interessante Welt, aber leider wenig Abwechslung. Man ist eigentlich immer im Kampf ums Überleben (Wasser) und daher auch gezwungen jeden zu killen. Richtig erforschen ist auch nicht drin, weil man eigentlich nur schaut wo Wasser ist und da geht man hin - von Wasser zu Wasser. Ist man dann mal in einem Bereich wo nichts ist und die Sonne brennt runter, denn ist man schon halb tot. Ich hatte auch nie eine Ahnung wohin ich eigentlich gehen sollte, gehört aber wohl zum Konzept des Spiels. Permadeath ist auch so eine Sache. Muss man mögen. Es gibt auch keine Speicherpunkte - Jedes Spiel beginnt von vorne. Ist nicht so meins...

Eerie aesthetic, cold ending.

Just as the description says, it's short, it's minimalist, and it's an open-world adventure with a thin layer of themes like guilt and grief. But there is nothing experimental about it. There are no unique mechanics, there is barely any story, and there is nothing really engaging about it. This game doesn't feel like an attempt to make something unusual; it feels like a game that does the bare minimum. Which is just disappointing.

i like this one its GOOD. i understand the point of the permadeath but it is kinda frustrating to replay like 90% of the game because i had to pay attention to something else for 0.1 seconds and accidentally walked in the river but tbf theyre calling it an edgecase. gunplay feels unnecessarily good for the kinda game this is
