Unveil

I have watched some Youtube videos about this and being a fan of minimalistic styled, realistic survival games I decided to give it a go. [b]Cons[/b]; while the premise of the game is attractive, the content itself has some issues. [list] [*]Random bugs that still hasn't been fixed yet include random crashes and music disappearances, which can cause a moderate amount of annoyance [*]The amount of content is still quite little; fishing, foraging and catching rabbits are the only activities to feed yourself [*]UI hasn't been optimised yet; settings are buggy sometimes [*]You can't open your mouth and drink rainwater to hydrate yourself [*]Sometimes you get really unlucky with the RNG; random line snaps while fishing, failing to catch stuff with your trap and just die because of bad luck. [b]Pros[/b]; Did I say that I like survival games? [list] [*]It is quite realistic, you die from starvation and dehydration, suffer from heatstroke and sickness and running is an option (f*** yea...

i believe it's the best 2d survival game but needs larger random-generated map and new items. i'm gonna keep an eye on updates.

This isn't the finished article by any means, but we can clearly see the base of a fantastic and unforgiving survival game with a heavy emphasis on fighting nature rather than fighting mythical creatures. I'm a bit of a sucker for survival games, and my Library has a metric tonne of them - but this one intrigued me due to its complex survival systems (you need to sweat if you get hot, or cool off in water, for a start...no other game takes temperature, wind, and sunlight into account quite like this game) and the fact it's managed to implement things I haven't seen before whilst using RPG Maker as its foundations! I've played the first 'mission' (there are a series, then a sandbox mode) and I died the first three times I tried it, only succeeding once I figured out the basic principles of survival (remembering Bear Grylls and Ray Mears' shows!) - Water, Food, Shelter - in that order. The game is no different. Find water first, then food, then worry about somewhere to sleep. There'...

Unveil delivers what it promises - a survival game where the main opponent is nature itself. It's a beautiful little gam: challenging, fun and peaceful, with enough content to do a decent job of holding off the inevitable triviality that survival games all must eventually fall prey to. The audio is polished, and the overall look of the game is really impressive compared to other RPG Maker games I've seen. The developer posts dev logs on YouTube very frequently and his enthusiasm for Unveil is contagious. You can tell not just from the weekly bugfixes and content patches, but from the little details just how much love and thought go into this game from its creator. On the question of whether I can recommend it, I'd say 'yes', to those who enjoy early access games in general. At the moment, there's probably between 5 and 10 hours of content to Unveil, which to me justifies its asking price. However, supporting such an amazing developer is its own reward. Not to mention that going by...

Wow. Maybe it's just the hype, but I love this game. Really. I mean, it's obviously uncomplete, there's a lot to do, but even in this initial state, it shines like a jewel. It's easy to play, so you don't have to fight with the controls (although I usually click Z instead of X and viceversa). Plus, it's pretty, if you like that kind of graphics, and that, in my opinion increible, music. But more important, it works. No weird physics, no super-fast dehydration rate... You actually can stop for a second, and enjoy... well, whatever you want. And it's funny! For almost everyone who buys it! Because you wouldn't buy a game you dislike, would you? In summary, I don't expect any negative reviews soon. At least REAL reviews. Because saying a game is bad just because you don't like it is a bit incoherent.

This is almost a neutral for me, as there are definately aspects of the game that I like (such as a lack of combat and the absence of an apocolyptic world, the presence of either of which I detest in games). If Unveil was more evenly balanced or offered variable difficulty settings, my recommendation could change, but, in it's current form, it's really more of a death simulator than a survival simulator. If that appeals to you, then this might be the game for you. Some mechanics, however, seem to be fatally unbalanced. For example: Fishing. Avoid it at ALL costs! Why? Because it costs 2 energy to dig for worms, you only get a worm about 25% of the time, the rods cost a LOT of energy to make, and the fish you catch, once cooked on a campfire that costs 5 energy to light (to say nothing of the pickup costs on the wood fuel), are generally worth only 5 energy each. So, you spend a good 50 energy, minimum, getting fishing stuff and end up with a handful of fish worth half that cooked, if ...

Unveil's simulation of weather effects, temperature, hydration, energy, and all the other many aspects not mentioned combine to create a very unique and intricate survival game. This game is difficult, realistic, and enjoyable and doesn't need to throw monsters in your face to make it so. Highly recommended for realistic survival enthusiasts.

This game is very good, I would enjoy seeing, more resource gathering from the source itself Cutting trees, mining rocks and ores etc....and not just relying on respawns to survive 100% of the time.... (Though I did find you could make a basic axe and cut a tree but only certain types of trees that I know of so far) Buy this game, the Dev is a great guy and I'm sure he will look after us consumers :)

After playing this game for a hour, I can't help myself and decided to write a review about this. This is a very interesting survival game. While everything seems basic, but I can imagine myself in those survival senerios making basic tools just to fish, set a trap and survive while mother nature brings the challenge. I enjoy the little randomness on fishing; bad luck can happen and sometime it really bites me if I couldn't catch a fish, which is pretty realistic in a sense and a bit punishable due to the randomness of fishing. There are few bugs and crash here and there, these are just minior area needs debugging. So far, good job creating this game. Thank you.

[h1][b]This is more of a warning then an actual review![/b][/h1] I've watched a friend play the game and was jealous for every minute he played, hence I bought the game as soon as I got home. Never got to playing however; it seems the game has [b]serious lag if you got an AMD graphics card[/b]. As such I cannot recommend the game if you got an AMD card, you cannot play the game (unless you like lag as much as a bucket of bacon). So why the 'good' recommendation even though I cannot play the game? Because the I'm still jealous of my friend who can play, but is actually going to die of dehydration right now (karma FTW!). [i]To the devs: You might want to warn users with an AMD card in your notice about the engine. I've tried to run the game on 4 machines: All AMD's, lag fest on all.[/i]
