    Got the game on sale, and for the price it is alright at best. In this survivors-like you manage multiple different resources in addition to health; stamina, sanity, warmth and oil (fuel.) You light campfires that dwindle over time to manage your sanity and warmth, scavenge for resources and of course defend yourself against waves of lovecraftian horrors. The only interesting feature that sets it apart from some…

    I've only played for three hours as of yet and I can already tell you it's a banger game finally a roguelite that doesn't scratch my @$$ for me, but also doesn't make me want to chew the screen off

    I tried giving this game a chance a few times and found it completely boring due to the survival mechanics; if, like me, you only enjoy action-oriented roguelikes, I definitely wouldn't recommend it.
