How it feels

A tense cycle of building, dying, and rebuilding as a hunted creature in a procedurally generated world.

What players say

Players describe it as a tough, non-hand-holding survival game in the vein of Don't Starve or Core Keeper, with a deep crafting system and a quick difficulty ramp driven by nightly raids. Co-op is buggy and balance feels rough, but fans appreciate the solo developer's active support.
