Just unfair
There is a difference between difficult and unfair. The game is based on probabilities which means sometimes you succeed and sometimes you fail. Unfortunately, the way you upgrade your chances of survival are also based on probability (eg: fishing rod is an upgrade to spearfishing but crafting a rod requires you to get lucky and find plant fiber while exploring so you can just get stuck sometimes). The dev needs to give the player more control by giving them ways to avoid the failure state. I installed because the game looked beautiful but its just a complicated game of rolling dice until you win or lose.

Great Survival Sim
This is such a great text based retro game. They did a really good job with all the scenarios and I hope they make more like this! I’ve played most games this company has done and this game is by far their best. It really feels like they’ve come into their own here. Great job.

Appreciate the review and the support! Thanks for playing! - Jon
Solid, but issues
A solid little game. Some things are a little clunky, but thats a limit of the form. There are some clear bugs. 1. I tried to directly send a bug issue but that also doesn't seem to work. 2. Sinew is in the game but doesn't have a clear mechanic or utility.
Great game!
This is an awesome game. Engaging survival mechanics and can play for short bursts at work. Very much worth the cost
Awesome and addictive
I’ve been playing this game for a week now and can’t put it down. It’s fully accessible for screen readers, which I’m so thankful for, and I can’t wait to try the other games next.

Not Realistic
Did this person do any biological studying? A human can starve for anywhere from 1 to 2 months before they die, especially if they still have the capacity to maintain other basics like hydration. This game basically kills you off the moment you reached 0 calories, which literally does not make any biological sense. It’s an interesting concept but more frustrating than fun or interesting. Do a little basic research next time and maybe that’ll improve the gameplay mechanics to something that’s fun, interesting, and enjoyable… because as this stands I feel like a high schooler taking a biology class would know better.

STICK TO RAP STAR AND MUSIC STAR
Hey devs here is a tip, STICK TO RAP STAR AND MUSIC STAR because trust me more people will be playing that then this. Not saying this game is bad (haven’t played it yet) but TRUST me. Rap star and music star will get u places
Survival and strategy
I really enjoyed this game, I have been introducing it to everyone I meet. My only problem is that I have been having trouble accessing the other two challenges such as the plane crash in surviving until rescue comes. If any help or suggestions could help me out with this I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you.

Appreciate the feedback! There is a bug with finding the other two challenges, that should be fixed in the next update today or tomorrow! - Jon
Game is too hard
It is too hard to survive any scenario besides the plane crash. On every other one it rains entirely too much and on the endless it’s no way to get water. Rain is way too frequent and if your in a area where you can’t hunt spearfishing is too unreliable
Great Game But
This is another awesome game, with a ton of potential…but a tutorial for first time players would be lovely 😅
Classic text adventure game
A classic text-based adventure survival game. Definitely need to fine tune the mechanics a bit more (I know it’s still in early development). Pretty cool concept - look forward to seeing progress.
I am really disappointed in the dev for making so much behind a paywall, which is very unlike his other amazing games. One of the reasons I keep supporting this dev is bec of how accessible and well-thought-out his games have been over the last few years. Sad to see him change like this.

Music
Hi, I would first of all like to thank you for this great game. I enjoy playing it. But I would like to suggest could you add like some peaceful kind of variety of music to this game?
It’s pretty good also accessible
This game is not bad. It’s great that it’s voiceover accessible. However, it does need some improvements with the Accessibility. As an example, if you click on collect wood, it’d be nice if the focus date on collect wood instead of snapping somewhere else.. Also, it would be nice if you could add some new tools maybe like Bowen arrow.

Hm
Really good concept and game idea, it’s just really hard to get into because it genuinely is too hard, at least for me. Calories and hunger goes down too much too fast it makes it very frustrating and really makes you unable to do anything. I really enjoy this idea it’s just sad I can’t get into it because of this fact.

PEAK GAMING🔥🔥
I personally used to play a game like this back in android and when I switched to iOS had nothing similar. Forgot about it almost. Then this comes up and oh my gosh!!! I have to say it brought back so many memories. The stories. The rng. The exploring!!! It’s literally the game I’ve been looking for! The story I’ve been wanting to find! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE everything about this game! Fully support and I’ve already recommended it to family and friends!!!! Can’t wait to get more hours into this!! The only thing that isn’t working is saving the game for a later date. The option is there to continue gameplay but I never get a save option. Doesn’t really apply tho since I play until i perish but would be a. Nice feature to include!!!

Amazing game
I love this game.
I have always enjoid real life survival books and shows.
I love how you have to get things done right away.
I also love the fact that this game is accessible for voice over.
And the ambience and sound effects are so realistic which makes it feel like I am actually in the scenario.
The only thing I wish was different about the game is.
It isn't actually hard to get timber to get fires sttarted.
So I beleave that we should have been able to get lumber from exploring or gathering would when we first enter the game.

Great- Could be perfect!
I really love the base of this game, i think the text based concept is super fun, however a tutorial would’ve been great as i was extremely lost at first. Definitely also needs tweak to difficulty/an easy mode for more casual players who because i have yet to make it past a couple days as food is extremely hard to find and calories deplete so fast, its hard to just live through each day, let alone begin to move towards escaping.
Very excited to see updates though, can definitely see myself playing for a while with some changes :)

Appreciate the feedback and review! I am tweaking the mechanics because admittedly it was very difficult at launch, so continuing to lessen the difficulty! Thanks for the support! - Jon
Stick to what you do best!
Not a great game. However I love all Chimpanzee LLC games. More updates needed on the older games (and more games like that) love the Story Star game but needs more updates
Pretty fun
It’s been awesome, my only complaint is I’ll play for 3 hours. Set the phone down and come back to it later and all my progress is gone. I can never get far in a scenario because all my progress is lost
Response from developer
Sounds like a bug! I'll take a look at that asap.
problem

Response from developer
You will need to gut the fish first in your inventory! - Jon
