When I heard you were running a marathon in a desert I thought “who the heck runs a marathon in a desert” then I saw my character and thought “rich white people” That joke aside this is a basic and solid survival game from what I’ve played so far. May update this review later one.

This game doesn't give you a lot o go o and is therefore a challenge. If you like exploring and crafting and having your face blown off by suprise flying spiders... then this might be your game
