Fun but flawed

The premise and concept is really smart
The camera mechanics are clever
The monsters are surprising
The gameplay doesn't exist

You will have fun with this game initially
Running around being noisy buggers, yelling and doing stupid things all for the content is where it shines
Being able to relive stupid moments whether artifical or natural after a whisk inserts itself into your friend gives the game a reason to replay
But the gameplay is flawed

Gameplay is a basic loop of film thing, escape, get views, repeat
- Filming can only be done by one person meaning everyone else is... there. There are props to buy but you aint gonna have cash to continuously buy things
- Escaping is 50/50 whether you'll immediately die to a monster you can't defend yourself against so instead of running around like headless chickens, if you want to try and play the game, you're just creeping around the entrance
- Getting views makes no sense, im sure there are 20 wikis up and running breaking down every aspect of how to min/max views, but I don't wanna study

This game is sat so hard on the fence of fun muck around like its TABs predecessor vs Lethal Company survival gameplay loop, it's become to fence

CW desperately needs some sandbox variant
- Always provide all the tools and gear on each day
- No time-limit reset pressure
- Just trying to grow a channel with views, subscribers etc

I want the chaos, I want 3 boom mics trying to smack a snail, I want underground rave shows
But it tries too hard to be Lethal Company for the sake of marketing it fails to be recognisable as its own thing

5/10 - Flash in the pan, will be forgotten unless given its own identity
