this is my comfort game. a great cozy survival game with a stellar art style and soundtrack. it is difficult, story mode is definetly the way to go. this isn't the kind of game you sit down for long multi session playthroughs, but it is a great sit down and have a bit of fun experience. i keep coming back to this

Do yourself a favour and just play through the story mode. You will enjoy this game much more that way. In survival mode, the first couple hours of progression is good and quite enjoyable but then you reach a point relatively soon and think "is that it?" Theres nothing wrong with that, but the story mode bundles everything up nicely and doesn't overstay its welcome, whilst still letting you experience most of the game. There is a difficulty modifier for survival mode where the further you travel, the less and less items/animals appear, but beyond that, it's a "how long do I want to travel down this same river before I die of bordom?".

Phenominal game about a dog finding you in a post apocalyptic flooded world and the two of you finding sanctuary together. People like to complain about the game being "too difficult" but I found the learning process enjoyable and have had a blast doing several challenge runs including vegetarian

Definity more of a niche game, I really enjoy it. I'd really love to see the game expanded as a sequel or something. There are still quite a few bugs but overall a fun but challenging game, where one mistake will end your run!

This is one of my favorite games of all time. The art, the ambiance, the music, & the gameplay are all really well done. I hadn't played it in a few years and just recently completed another campaign mode. It's a little buggier than it used to be, but overall still a great experience. I tell people about this game all the time and can't recommend it enough if you're into indie survival games.
