Pretty fun and pretty spooky at first. It is still very early access and does need a lot of work. The Wendigo AI is cool, but he's pretty easy to exploit by camping out in spots he simply can't get to you. There's really no reason to wander around at night so you can just chill in the cabin or any other safe spot during after dark avoid him. It would be nice if they added some sort of incentive to actually go out and explore at night so there's actually a reason for you to risk running into him. Maybe some with some night exclusive loot or objectives? I also think being able add waypoints to the map as well as an in game compass would be an awesome quality of life change for the game. I'm hoping they keep up development because I see a lot of potential with this.

Please don't pass on this game just because you aren't a fan of anime. For the longest time I skipped out on this because, "anime dating sims just aren't my thing," but this honestly turned out to be one of the most captivating and most well presented stories I've ever seen in a game. Doki Doki Literature Club is less of a game and more of a choose your own adventure novel, with your decisions leading to different interactions throughout the story. That being said, the game is 95% reading. I personally haven't picked up a novel in years, but this game made me want to go find a good book with how well it's written. You don't have to be a reader to love the game, but it definitely has a whole lot to offer for those of you who do.



Just a few reasons why I love this game:

-It has an amazing story, with characters that initially seem to be cookie cutter anime archetypes, but end up being much more complex and realistic.
-Lots of foreshadowing, symbolism, and other literary device for those of you who like to interpret meanings behind literature, games, music, etc.
-Despite its cute appearance, the game will get to you in a very psychologically disturbing way.
-The story itself is amazing, but the way it was presented and executed is what really makes it a 10/10 for me.

Very fun game, but very hard difficult to get in to. There's a lot of mechanics, map knowledge, and strategy that goes into becoming a good player. If you get this game you're doing it to play ranked, because it's not really that fun on it own. The fun comes from learning all the stuff that goes into climbing the competitive ladder. It's super frustrating at first because you're going to get instantly killed every round and have no idea why. Your guns are also never going to actually going to shoot where you want them to and you really won't understand why. Once you get past this though, it can get very addicting. I recxomend playing with a friend when you're just starting out to help keep your frustration at a minimum.
