What's the objective of this game?
Hi all. I haven't bought this game and would like to know the objective (or goal) of this game in order to decide whether it's for me.

If my assumption is correct, the objective of this game is to survive a certain amount of days for allies/reinforcements to come to rescue you. And when that finally happens, you complete this game successfully. Or perhaps the game can also be completed unsuccessfully, meaning failing to survive that amount of days and then the game concludes anyway. Is my assumption correct?

Kindly avoid mentioning spoilers. Much appreciated.

If you're just into the gaming/numbers aspect of things, then it might come off as pretty basic compared to what a proper text-based or RPG-style game might provide.

I've seen plenty of sales with heavy discounts of this game on various platforms though, so you can always wait to pick it up for cheap if you're concerned about your outlay.

The first experience is the best experience. The emergent story telling is amazing when coupled with trying to figure out the basics of survival. One of the best gaming experiences I had.

This next section is more for those who have played it, as I feel it's relevant to the post but I don't want to ruin the run for the OP:

Unfortunately, replaying it even just a second time unearths the gaminess, now that you know what you are doing. Even with hardness mods applied, difficulty ramped up, it's just not the same as the first run.

Nothing can genuinely replace the fear you felt alongside your original crew when scavenging and you could hear faint sounds elsewhere. The uncertainty of another meal can not be replaced. The care you felt for your scout who got shot. The anger you felt towards those who shot him, so your group goes back and finishes them off...

Sadly those emotions go away after the first run. At least for me :(
