Pretty easy to break
Siberian Survival
Pretty good
Interesting game, though easy to get lost
The main thing that makes it much harder is that there is no map to tell where you are or what direction you’re going. I eventually explored the area and made my own map, but it’s still easy to get lost.
TIPS AND THINGS I FOUND:
1) at first, you only have your own fist as a weapon/tool. You can use it to break down trees and rocks to get material (hit them more than once). Also, use your fists at the beginning to kill animals for food (rabbit is easiest, then fox, then boar, then wolf, then bear (deer is fast, hard to hit). When you kill animals and collect trees and rocks, you get coins (which you use to buy materials from the store).
2) make torches to mark places. It will help you know where you are and help you to not get lost. It helped me so much! (And they’re a way to warm up)
3) WHEN YOU WANT TO PAUSE, PRESS PAUSE AND SAVE (pause sign || and then the second button with the square symbol is the save button) OR IT WILL NOT SAVE THE THINGS YOU BUILD (it should still save the things in your inventory and your coins tho)
4) from the train crash, if you walk to the right along the railroad tracks, you will eventually come to a little town and then the train station. There are no people and you can’t go into the buildings, but it’s interesting to walk around there.
5) if you go on the other side of the tracks (other side of train crash), there are just mountains which are dangerous to go on because of few animals.
6) the side of the tracks that you “woke up” on is a valley, which is the best place to get food and material, but there are lots of bears that can attack (with weapons it’s easier to kill them, but it still takes long and makes your health go down).
7) somewhere far down the valley and close to a mountain ridge are a big house and shed with a fence around them, but you can’t go into the house. Close by is the ocean with icebergs and ice floes. That’s a place to get water (that you use with the chemistry table), but I recommend not to stay there because there aren’t any animals or trees there.
8) after exploring and getting kinda lost, I eventually found a village where you can get into a few of the houses, but the rest are locked. If you go down the middle road between the houses, you’ll go down to a dry riverbed or something.
9) then after walking around some more and keeping the mountains to my left, I found a little stone cabin with a slanted roof (door locked).
10) so if you get lost, to eventually (probably) get back to the train wreck, you should try to stay more in the valley and keep the mountains in your sight to the left of you.
11) also, somewhere by the tundra (darker ground), there is a big rock arch with dead trees and boulders around. The ocean is near there.
12) for tools, weapons, and building materials, build the workshop (to make walls, roof, stairs, table, bed, etc.), the weapon table (to make an ax, sword, bow, knife), and the chemistry table (to make a first aid kit and healing potion). Then there’s the pick, torch and campfire to make.
In conclusion, the game is challenging but it gets better when you have tools and weapons and stuff. The worst part for me is that I can get lost so easily and sometimes almost starve or freeze. I wish there was a map or at least a compass telling you which direction you’re going. Also, like another reviewer said, that would be awesome to have different seasons instead of just winter all the time. And it would be amazing if you could find other people along the way and survive together.
One more thing: I would want to be able to relocate walls or floors if I accidentally put them in the wrong place (right now if you put, for example, a wall down, you can’t move it).
Sooo hope this helps someone and I hope the developer(s) will consider my suggestions!
Too Bad I Can't Give It NO STARS!
Kinda Hard and Needs Work
How
Not as advertised
I found a bunker thing
Really
Could be a lot better than this...
Needs work
Excellent game!
The synopsis of the game is simple: you are (probably the only) survivor of a train crash in the middle of Siberia, in the dead of winter. To put that into perspective: because of Siberia’s extreme inland location, with mountains to the south and the arctic immediately to the north, temperatures in Siberia have reached as low as -96.2 F in winter. You are stuck in that weather with no way to escape or avoid it. You must survive on your own in the severe Siberian climate. To do this, you must find ways to build fire, construct shelter, avoid predatory bear attacks at all costs and constantly prowl the endless vastness in search of food.
(WARNING: THIS PARAGRAPH CONTAINS SPOILERS. IF YOU WOULD RATHER EXPLORE THE WILDERNESS YOURSELF, PLEASE SKIP TO THE NEXT PARAGRAPH). This area of Siberia appears to have been settled in the past, but now it is empty and abandoned. You will encounter numerous settlements, including a railroad station along the tracks, a large and comfortable-looking house in the middle of the forest and a village consisting of about 20-30 buildings, including a church. However, all of these are empty and devoid of human life. The area you can explore consists of a valley in the south, where the train crash occurred. To the west the valley stretches on until the tracks come to an end, shortly after the railroad station. To the south (on the other side of the train tracks from where you initially “wake up”) are high and formidable mountains. Climbing these is arduous, and will lead you to nowhere. The valley is full of the greatest concentration of animals, rocks and trees, and therefore is the easist area to survive. However, if you would like an adventure, you can go north or east. To the east, you will run into a series of dark and snowy hills, with few animals and less trees. If you keep going, you will eventually come across a glacier. After that, you will cross the glacier and come to the ocean, where the glacier has created numerous icebergs and ice floes. From there you can travel northeards along the shore, which has high cliffs in that area. Go along there for a while, and you’re in the hills that border to valley to the north. If you turn west almost immediately, you will find a group of dense woods. Keep going and you will find the house and the village. However, if you keep going north for a bit before turning west, you will come across a magnificent rock arch and a very beautiful area of the highlands, rocky with many different kinds of trees and a dried-up riverbed. From there, you can keep going either north or west. Either way, you will eventually come down out of the hills and into the Siberian tundra. If you keep going from there, you will find the Arctic Ocean. Congratulations, you’re above the arctic circle! However, the tundra has few resources and you may want to keep to the hills or the valley beyond them. I myself froze to death there after trying to find a way back out.
I’m only going to give three tips on how to (perhaps) improve the game. First, add in the Northern Lights. The Siberian northern lights are truly magnificent and would make an excellent addition to the game. Second, make the game have seasons. Currently the game makes it winter year-round, but in fact Siberia does have a short, hot, wet summer between June and August, and extremely short transition seasons (spring and fall) in May and September. Have a time of year with bright sunlight, birds singing, lots of flowers and green trees, sparse rainfall, rushing streams and waterfalls and swarms of insects. It would prove an excellent time to relax and prepare for the harsh winters that last around seven months of the year. Finally, add in polar bears in addition to the brown bears already present in the game. Polar bears live on the northern fringes of Siberia, where this game takes place. :)
Bottom line is, this game is incredible. Don’t hesitate to download it if you like adventure, survival, anything challenging, or Siberia.
