I’ve tried each of the 4 different scenarios. I love the island one… however regarding the two wilderness ones (the first one and the survive as long as you can one) these two seem impossible even on the easiest ‘wanderer’ mode. And I kept trying these ones for hours and hours on the easiest mode, traveling to different areas, etc. Once I travel a few times I reach places where there is NO water, I travel again to the only place it allows me to, no water again, there is no way to legitimately survive in this one … Please update it so there is a way the player can gather rain water to make it more realistic… You could have the option of carving a bowl out of wood with a lid so you can carry additional water, or weaving a waterproof basket with the rope and sealing it with pine sap to collect rainwater, something like that… I really love this game but certain issues like this make it seem impossible to beat, I tried in survivor mode too and that was just insanity I kept dying. ### 3/5 — Want to like, but… *2026-07-29, version 1.0.6* The game is very good! I need to preface this with, the game itself is not the problem! My issue is that this feels *very* much like a “ripoff”, for lack of a better term, of Survive, a game that is currently still in closed beta for IOS but has been on Android for many years. It’s a fantastic survival sim, and I have been ITCHING for its release. Color me surprised when I opened this and saw it had a very similar interface! I just hope that this game was *inspired by* it and not meant to be a knockoff (like Minecraft vs “Open World Block Builder Sim”). They can and should both be able to exist! But please, I beg, differentiate so I can love them both guilt-free. Even a palette swap would help (might I suggest a nice forest green instead of orange, and maybe some unique interactions that make this less of a clone and more of a tribute 😅). I do sincerely hope this keeps getting updates. There are so few games like this available! ### 4/5 — Solid, but issues *2026-07-10, version 1.0.5* 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. ### 4/5 — Survival and strategy *2026-06-14, version 1.0.3* 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. ### 3/5 — Game is too hard *2026-06-09, version 1.0.3* 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 ### 4/5 — It’s pretty good also accessible *2026-06-05, version 1.0.3* 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. ### 3/5 — Hm *2026-06-04, version 1.0.3* 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. ### 4/5 — Great- Could be perfect! *2026-05-30, version 1.0.2* 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 :) ### 4/5 — Pretty fun *2026-05-28, version 1.0.1* 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 ### 5/5 — problem *2026-05-28, version 1.0.1* dont know if im doing something wrong, but i cant cook fish. i get fish, light a fire, and still cant cook fish with it saying “no raw fish to cook” help? ### 4/5 — Great Game! *2026-05-22, version 1.0.1* Based before the update, I haven’t played it since the new update. The game is great I tried surviving as long as I could but man it was hard trying to survive! The storms would wreck me! Hahaha it’s a fun game though! Can’t wait to try the new update ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Poor AI design. *2026-08-09, version 1.0.6* Why is it always raining? A challenge is nice but when it interferes with the gameplay it is a flaw un the game design. ### 1/5 — lol *2026-08-05* All you do is press buttons. There no interaction such as walking around or picking things up.. it’s just pressing buttons and words on the screen. Most boring game I’ve ever come across. 😅 ### 1/5 — Stick to what you do best! *2026-05-29, version 1.0.2* 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 ### 1/5 — Wow. *2026-05-23* This game is amazing but I don’t like the colors ### 1/5 — Why *2026-05-19, version 1.0.0* Just update current games like story star and actor simulator stop creating random games that are unrelated to previous ones ### 2/5 — Rain? *2026-08-21, version 1.0.6* It literally is always raining. Like as soon as it starts it does not stop. I try sleeping, collecting wood to pass time. I cant make a fire and then my warmth completely runs out and I die? The rain puts out my fires if I can get it going before it starts but it either starts raining on day 1 or 2 and then does not stop until I die from freezing. Am I missing something? Also why does improving the shelter take so long and does so little. Does the shelter protect your fire from rain once it gets to a certain percentage? Also exploring is lack luster. Sticks, hunting place and bait is literally all I can find. I hope it gets better but for right now please stop making it rain so often or at the very least don’t let it rain for literal days at a time. ### 2/5 — Just unfair *2026-07-21* 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. ### 2/5 — Not Realistic *2026-06-21, version 1.0.4* 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. ### 2/5 — Classic text adventure game *2026-06-08, version 1.0.3* 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. ### 2/5 — Kinda good *2026-05-25, version 1.0.1* Good but very hard eg hunger/calories and needs more game modes that are free, like concept though ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Great game *2026-08-02, version 1.0.6* I’ve had a lot of fun playing this game I think the difficulty is perfect not easy by any means but not hard enough to figure out by the 6th survivor I finally made it out. The next challenge was even more demanding and a whole new learning curve overall 5/5! The only thing I would like to see in the pack menu I would like to be able to “split” my items for example if make an extra fire plow by miss clicking I’d like to split that so I don’t discard both items👍🏻 ### 5/5 — Nice *2026-07-31* Good game ### 5/5 — Great Survival Sim *2026-07-12, version 1.0.5* 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. ### 5/5 — Great game! *2026-07-04, version 1.0.4* This is an awesome game. Engaging survival mechanics and can play for short bursts at work. Very much worth the cost ### 5/5 — Awesome and addictive *2026-06-27, version 1.0.4* 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. ### 5/5 — STICK TO RAP STAR AND MUSIC STAR *2026-06-14, version 1.0.3* 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 ### 5/5 — Great Game But *2026-06-08, version 1.0.3* This is another awesome game, with a ton of potential…but a tutorial for first time players would be lovely 😅 ### 5/5 — Music *2026-06-06, version 1.0.3* 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? ### 5/5 — PEAK GAMING🔥🔥 *2026-06-04, version 1.0.3* 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!!! ### 5/5 — Amazing game *2026-06-02, version 1.0.2* 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. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
