I thought the concept was great, intuitive controls, I liked the pressure that was put on the individual to go out and find resources instead of hiding in one place.

Great game, and quite difficult. Wasn't able to make it to Day 4. I was able to run away from the monster once, but then it chased me across the entire map. Not sure what I could have done there., and I'm not entirely sure how the augments were helping me out. There's probably some fine tuning that can be done to fix those issues, but overall great work!

I really enjoyed it, but I had to give up because the monster kept getting me immediately shortly after day 2 began... I restarted about ten times, and I still got got every time shortly after day 2 began. I never even got enough stuff to make any augments. In my opinion, the problem is that the monster sprite is so big and moves so fast that his whole body is already taking up the whole screen and touching you by the time you even know he's coming. It really seemed like something I would have liked to play to the end, but I just couldn't keep trying with that fast, giant butthead around.

Yeah I was trying to make it some sort of almost jumpscare but the problem was you couldn't know where he was coming from.

I think I should have put a compass that pops up to show you which direction he is coming from or something.

It's such an interesting game!!! It is so hard to survive but I still love it so much!!! It worth replaying for multiply times :D

lol I was wondering if anyone would realise. 


It only occured to me when I had nearly finished it.

Fun game. It's a challenge to get to the end, which is good, but sometimes it feels a bit like the monster comes out of nowhere with no way to escape it, giving the play a pretty doomed feeling. The monster is actually pretty creepy though, which is really cool, especially since it is pixel art :D

Thank you!

Damn, almost made it to day 4. But I like the retro style of this game, the monster design is honestly really cool

They monster at the end was quite scary but actually the sound didn't stop after I lost and it was quite some earrape ngl :D
