How it feels

Isolated, anxious, and methodical as you explore a mysterious island while tracking your position with a map and compass, with the constant threat of a stalking predator.

What players say

Players praise the unique triangulation mapping and the sense of isolated exploration, but many find the controls janky and the gameplay slow and tedious. There is a split: some call it a magical, tense experience while others say it feels unfinished, with useless items and a frustrating monster.
