How it feels
You scavenge and build to survive an alien wilderness where every creature sees you as prey.

What players say
Players call this an ambitious but abandoned survival game that feels like a land-based Subnautica. It has a compelling alien world and a roughly 20-hour story, but controls are buggy, the bow aiming is poor, and development stopped in 2016.
