very good game

SO much fun! And super scary! Also runs super well with the KatWalk VR Treadmill, if you're wondering. :)

This game has a lot of potential and with a number of tweaks and bugfixes it could be really fun. However, the day length is too short and cannot be adjusted and I find the nights tedious because all you can do is defend yourself from the different creatures that show up. This would be mitigated if you could move faster but even sprinting feels incredibly slow. Storage is also a huge problem with very few available solutions. For example, if you need two rocks to make a fire then you aren't carrying anything else since you only have two hands. Essential storage options coming down to RNG during each playthrough is a terrible model. Dying due to "darkness" is ridiculous because you never actually see what kills you (ie "You have been eaten by a grue" for those who remember).

The playthrough that made me quit involved a boar I had slain which I was trying to cook over a fire. I dragged the boar over a bit of terrain towards the fire and it unrealistically flung itself 100 feet in the air. That's not ideal but it landed nearby and I could just go grab it again. The problem was that the pistol I'd placed nearby on the ground was also snagged and, being much lighter and smaller, it flew so far away that it was a waste of time to even go look for it. After this, night came and went. When the sun came up, I walked along the shore and to the end of a canyon (about a quarter mile or so) before I started getting warning sounds about the night coming again, could only find one rock at the top of the walkway and died due to darkness. If I could still refund this game I would but the major bugs and poor design decisions didn't show up until after the time limit ran out.

I still think this could be a good game but the Devs need to put in a lot of work and listen to their fanbase better. People have been bugging them about the day/night cycle for a while now and it's still too short according to many, myself included.
