The value story
September 2025 is where it bottomed out, at $0.99. Its cuts run 50 percent off as a rule. There have been 44 in the 5 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart.
It is cheaper than 71 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 91 percent. The games it most resembles do better on the same math. Satisfactory ($27.99, scores 98) and Aloft ($24.99, scores 55) both outscore it.
24 of the 674 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2021 to September 2026. That is more refunded reviewers than 9 in 10 paid games this site has sampled to the same depth, and among the 651 games in its genre sampled this deeply, 79 have a larger share. The typical game sits near 5 in 1,000, so the score docks it. 2 of the 24 refunded reviewers were past Valve's two-hour window when they wrote the review. Inside the two-hour refund window, 52 percent of the 624 reviews written there were positive, against 57 percent overall, and those are 71 percent of everything written about it.

What players say
**Not Recommended** The hardest part of camping isn't surviving-it's surviving the tutorial pop-ups. Every jump or climb triggers a forced animation long enough to boil water and pitch a real tent. Please let me play the game.
I bought it for a dollar but it's not worth that. The whole thing is AI slop. Not just the writing but all of it. There is no love or even human behind this curtain. However i did kill a bear and a bald eagle and died to a tiger. But I give negative points because I couldnt cook any meat at all, much less make a different in what meat I acquired. The meat just doesnt cook. It appears the devs knew that cause they...
Unfortunately once i reached the end of Chapter 1 (after the canoe is build) it gets stuck and does not load any further onto the next chapter. This is on multiplayer, on ASUS Rog strix g16.
