After reading the reviews and seeing how many people struggled with the game, I still wanted to take on the challenge—it seemed like most of the complaints were just skill issues. However, this is now the second day I've tried to sit down and learn the game, only to run into a technical problem that makes it completely unplayable. The game fails to recognize the primary display monitor and instead launches on my third screen. The display is so offset that I can't even navigate to the settings because my mouse input doesn't register correctly. After years of following the game's concept and marketing, I was genuinely excited to finally try it out—only to be met with a frustrating, broken experience right out of the gate. Refund sent.

Its a very unique game so I am not giving it a thumbs down. And it does actually have controller support. Theres an option in the games menu for it. However Steam by default will have kb+mouse emulation. If you turn that off for native gamepad support the controls actually work really well. Except for in the save menu you cannot choose an option there so need to revert back to kb+mouse emulation for controller.

Anyway I gathered some sticks and stones and build my first shelter. Also was bit by a snake and drank some dirty water which got me infected. Will play again!

Oh and I meditated. I love the game already just for that!
