Surviving on a hostile, alien planet feels lonely and tense, with each death resetting the world's rules.

What players say

Players say the game has an interesting concept, pairing survival and village management, but the execution is held back by a terrible tutorial, awkward controls with no rebindable keys, and a confusing UI. Many report resorting to YouTube to understand basic mechanics. The developer has moved on, leaving the game abandoned and very short, with most players finishing in under two hours.
