Terribly boring. You grind all day for no reason. AI is dumb. I payed 3 bucks for this and I regret it.

It got me addicted especially at first, but game sux NGL...

If it wasn't abandoned, it could've probably been a really engaging game with more patching and development, especially since:
- The puzzles that are scattered around in side quests are a nice addition.
- The psychological horror element at times was well planned.
- The overall game map feels like it was a good start to build on top of it and enrich it as the game progresses in development.
- I like that you can tame wolves and deer for help even though that turns you into a constant carer of them, zooming around to find them food so that they won't turn against you.
- There is an attention to keep the game a bit challenging as you progress, by introducing tougher enemies.

That being said, the amount of annoying bugs that get thrown at you breaks the overall experience regardless of good aspects:
- More bugs than a swamp in July: there's a place where you can apparently fight the Wendigo, when I tried to do that, it bugged out of existence on the first attack and never came back even after I left the place and returned later. Others have reportedly managed to kill it and gain headgear from it.
Same thing would happen with regular enemies, they would sometimes bug out and get stuck on the doors or in the walls or somewhere in between stories of a building AKA they get stuck there forever.
Also some quests would tell you to go check somewhere or do something and never actually update after you do that, and they keep stuck like that forever.
- The fact that there's there 0 voice acting and loads of text to read even when playing recorded audio messages, takes a bit out of the experience as well IMO.
- The food spoilage system is sort of non-important, like a cucumber or a piece of meat can reach the lowest spoiled/expired state but still be edible and nutritious without any bad effects. The only thing I noticed is that the healing effect of such food is usually lower or non-existent compared to non-spoiled food, but still it feels like it does nothing.
Same thing can be said about the many effects the game has, I don't think they were well -designed nor -incorporated for anyone to care enough about them.
- Achievements triggering at odd times, sometimes before they are due and sometimes later than they are supposed to, which adds to the feeling of a buggy game.

I would still give it 6-7/10 but unless someone is a survival game fanatic, I wouldn't say this would be much of a missed expereince if you skipped on it.

It's been 6 years since this bug was reported. Players have repeatedly asked the devs to add a manual switch between keyboard/mouse and gamepad. They said, "No, we did it for your convenience." But the fact that hundreds of people can't even play their game because of this blocker — they just don't care. So much for "convenience."
