What players say

Players say it is a tough survival game where you loot by day and defend a base at night. Reviews highlight the extreme difficulty, with short day cycles that force you to manage resources tightly, and one warns of a major balancing issue early on. Some note the game has been abandoned by its developer. Others appreciate it as a cheap, addictive time-waster despite the rough edges.
