Very interesting take on a survival strategy game! It's challenging, but rewarding when you get into it. I noticed that this game has hundreds of reviews that don't appear on the main page. It looks like the reviews were hidden by Steam when the game switched from free to paid, and I almost overlooked it as a result. I hope you don't make the same mistake- the game is definitely worth a try! 😊

very difficult game, even the easy/normal modes are ridiculous, youre in a constant cycle of repairing, not having enough materials to repair, the gathering is so slow, you go to build something and 10 werewolves will come and destroy it all before its even built, then people start dying, defences dont really do anything, cant build anything aesthetic because you dont have the resources to spare. and the hardest difficulty ive done is normal mode! i dread to think what hard/doomed is like. however, it does have a lot of potential, i love base building, defences, so if there were more defences that would be good, or im use mods for it would come out soon. also buff defences a lot, make resource gathering better, so its not a constant cycle of pain and misery.

good, but will probably be better in a few updates. The foundations are solid, there are some interesting ideas but it lack a lot of polish and subtlety.

I admit it...I have been pretty addicted to this game. I really like the challenge to protect what you have from monsters instead of just a resource survival game. This game is different and I really like it but I very much do NOT like the constant lag and crashing of the game. You can't save the game as it saves for you every morning you survive so the crashing sucks. I know the game is still being worked on by the developer and I hope that many things get corrected. The game crashes and lags a LOT especially when slowing down or speeding up the time. Story mode seems to work better with only one of the four stories and easy/hard modes lag and crash worse and I can't even play sandbox mode without major problems. So basically I am stuck playing one story mode game over and over again because it's the only one that doesn't crash on me. It's fun though I really like the challenge of this game. I wish that it was free because after paying for it all the bugs make me sad. Until the product is fully playable it should be free. I am sad that I put money into a game that I can't play all the ways I should be able to play. Maybe I need a better computer?
