How it feels

A bleak and stressful fight for survival on a remote archipelago against an ever-stronger enemy, where every gain is hard-won and losses are expected.

What players say

Players are split on whether the game is abandoned: some say development stalled after 2023, while others report a new developer took over and is updating it. The game has frequent crashes, a broken save system, and a grind-heavy felt too large map with slow travel.
