Few discussions... should I be worried?

[Neoma]

Interested in the game but there're not many ongoing discussions and minimal hype :)

Yeah I never heard of this game before, saw it on game pass so figured I'd come check out its steam page, but I'll give it an install and a try

It's clearly not a very high profile release, but that's not necessarily a bad sign.

I played it for 2 hours on game pass. It's so so, but the inventory system is very cumbersome and can be a pain to deal with. You will run out of room fast if you pick up everything you find. The hunger system is annoying too because you're forced to eat constantly and most foods only restore 1 hunger. My max health also went from 5 to 3 and I'm not sure how to get it back to 5.

I've been playing it a since it unlocked on Gamepass this morning. Will agree that the inventory system is meh. Hunger though, hasn't been a problem IMO.

The previous poster apparently didn't go through much of the main quest because you get the recipe to make a basic grill rather early and then you can cook food that has more hunger satiation.

I did the main quest and think I have the grill blueprint but just forgot to use it. It was in front of that woman's house. For me, the hunger was draining quite fast though. And it also drains in conversation.

Ok lovely thanks for the feedback peeps :)

I've played 20 hours so far, definitely buggy, but so much fun to be honest.

You have to unlock more foods for different types of healing/food restoration/mana restore.
Yellow dots are for food, red dots restore health, blue dots restore mana.

I don't find the food consumption to be as high maintenance as it is in DST. Roasted and grilled food do tend to give back 2 to 3 of your hunger bar, but they don't take long to make and you can easily take them with you. The canyon is pretty easy to beat and this much can get you through it very easily.

Once you beat the canyon you should def buy the mill blueprint from abraham. Once it's done you can make corn flour and date sugar, and the best recipe for replenishing health and hunger is apple pie. It takes 1 corn flour and 2 grilled apple and restores 6 health and 8 hunger and is easy to make. Tomato soup is also a good and cheap meal to make that that restores 4health/3hunger/3mana and takes 28 seconds to make.

So, all in all, craft as much of the NEW food you have as possible so you can get more recipes. I really havent been struggling with hunger at all because of it and I'm already done with the forest.

Played 15 minutes on GamePass. I couldn't get pass:
- weird controls
- awful animation
- weird camera
- lack of tooltips

I don't recommend.

I've almost beaten the game since it was on gamepass, it's not bad, not great, but it does pass the time.

I found it rather fun. It's a nice little game that gets you into a bit of a cozy vibe, similar to things like Stardew or Harvest Moon. It's far from perfect... but I don't think that's cause for concern. As for lack of discussions, just means that either not many are playing the game, which is likely, since there wasn't much marketing from what I can tell (common case for indie titles), or people don't really have much to say about it, good or bad.

TL;DR: It's a nice, cozy, but unexceptional alchemy/farming/exploration game going under most radars.

I don't typically play these kinds of games so I can't compare it to others but I'm really enjoying it. Easy to kill a few hours farming, cooking, making potions and exploring the blighted zones.

I played it about an hour and a half, softlocked due to a bug, and uninstalled.

It's a mix of My Time in Portia/Sandrock, breath of the wild and Kikis delivery service haha!

Which bug?
