SUM

Dev has abandoned the game.

It's the beginnings of a survival game like The Forest only not horror which I'm really, really happy to see. Pros: .It's something different. Again, not another horror surival game which I'm really sick of. .It has a lot of potential so if you back this project by buying it and the developer keeps working on it, it's going to worth it. .You're probably going to get more hours out of it than your standard indie game. .The price isn't unreasonable. Cons: .The graphcs are definitely cartoony. Not bad, but not realism. .You can't do much with the settings in terms of controls and graphics. .It only has arm swinging locomotion as of right now. No snap turning or teleportation. .It's still very beta and not a finished game. I recommend this because it has potential and fills a gap with a genre with few games in VR. I like to see genres that are overwhelmed by horror themes do any other theme so we have more of a variety of games to play. This one is definitely worth backing.

So this game, if developed further, will likely be a huge success. It has all the elements of a VR ark (of course, actual VR Ark will happen eventually and overtake it), so I do recommend it though at it's current price it's not a lot of content. I will probably refund it but only because that $13 can buy something more fleshed out nowadays, but don't let that detract from how good this game is if you've got some money to burn. It's just in it's baby stage and I will be keeping an eye on t's developement to see if the devs take this to where it could go, which is an amazing survival VR game that isn't about wave shooting zombies with bows as lord knows we have enough of those titles already.

The start menu is you standing on a tiny island with a a signpost. After standing there trying to figure out how to move i took to the forum and discovered if using a Rift like myself hold down left thumb stick and swing your arms to walk over to the signpost and tap new game to start. Once you start if you prefer as I do tap left thumb stick to change locomotion in options. Its a survival game in a mine-crafty way. I am enjoying it even though i have only lasted two days before dying of hunger. Each time I start I am moving to the items i need quicker, and option "indirectly" enables you to pick things up without needing to bend down all the time. Something i would like to see is a map scrolled up in your bag, It could only show you parts of the island you have visited and perhaps the ability to pin markers for places of interest. A Multiplayer would be cool. Maybe in the future we could build rafts to sail to a next island, just an idea. I would recommend this game for a change ...

graphics are nice and the game runs really well little confusing at first but it's a nice survival game, rare type in vr games

abandonware. protip: press the update history button before buying early access. no updates in over 2 years, steam should really take this off the store.

The game is super buggy, from not being able to select things, not being able to move traps to things despawning the second you drop them as well as tents not appearing. The game is also very difficult to start, because of the constant glitches I've had to restart many times and being able to get food and water is so hard that you cant do it in time before you die.

Its a good game.

It is a very jam-packed game for me who like to survive. I had little sense of dizziness. I feel a little dizzy when I run down the hill. I was not dizzy when I was running on the plain. It is easy to collect, move and make tools. Look forward to hunting and architecture. The update is highly anticipated.

Edit November 2020: I am very dissapointed that the dev did not bother to continue with development of this game. I originally praised this game in my gameplay and impressions video on Youtube, but after only a couple of updates he vanished. Many promises were made, almost none fulfilled so stay well clear and do not give this dev your money. Older reviews: Edit: The game now supports full locomotion, snap turning etc. Gameplay based on the latest update 9/8/18: https://youtu.be/DDYsKK9knVo Sum is like a breathe of fresh air for survival games and in VR we have very little choice in them. In playing I found it immersive and fun and while the basics for a survival are there such as hunger, hydration, crafting and hunting, the game does need work. Check out my gameplay video: https://youtu.be/wOW66hZ4Aaw I found the walking to be different, on the Rift you have to press and hold the stick in, then wave your arms in an exagerrated motion to walk. Currently there is no snap or smoot...
