Complete joke

Couldnโ€™t even finish the tutorial. Ads covered instructions on my iPad. Slow response times. Finally stuck on โ€œtap hereโ€ that never responded. Obviously no one play tested this on the iPad.

Alright, But

This is a really fun game to play in your free time ,but I do have some issues with the game. This is a complete ripoff of a game called Long Dark on Steam. I like that they tried to add it to mobile but getting the graphics to look good is just hard. This game is free and nothing is free so they through ads and starters packs in your face to make money. This game has real potential in become its own game only if it responds to its community and has patches and updates. The game is also doesnโ€™t need internet to be played. Please read this review devs I really think you can turn this into something good.

FUN! Butโ€ฆ

I love this game. I paid for the bigger backpack and no ads, because it was worth it to me. But after completing all tasks and building multiple structures, my game got glitchy after the last update. So I uninstalled and reinstalled. Started all over again. But I canโ€™t get past the tutorial. When I pick up the bow, it says โ€œtap here to aimโ€ but Iโ€™ve tapped repeatedly and nothing happens. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times and the game always hangs up in the same place. I guess at this point, my $4.99 x 2 is wasted. :(

FUN! Butโ€ฆ

I love this game. I paid for the bigger backpack and no ads, because it was worth it to me. However, I would really like to see the quests continue. I feel like when the quests have come to an end, there is nothing left to do except to repeat things that I have already done over and over again. I have built everything there is to build and acquired every decoration possible, and there is really nothing left to do. I have built several houses in all locations. One thing, for the life of me, I cannot find the one record album that is on the road along the river. Where the heck is it?? Another thing, I thought when I did find the record albums, that they would give me clues. In fact, I thought all the notes I was collecting would be helpful to me for solving some kind of mystery. But everything seems to be meaningless. The records and notes donโ€™t point to anything. And the quests come to an end with no mystery to solve. I also wish there were seasons. If the snow would melt off for a bit, that would be great! It would also be fun to go fishing since there are so many water features. And it would be nice to make it a little bit easier for us to collect iron to make ammo. I have bags and bags of excess rock strewn all over because there is nothing to do with it. Keep up the good work, but keep adding on or players will lose interest!
