Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
I would advise if you like this games concept that you watch some gameplay and see if you think you would like it.
30 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
In my opinion, playing co-op can take some of the fear out of it, so I think the game is best experienced solo.

This is the first game i ever felt like writing a review on, i wasn't part of the group of people waiting for this game to release, i randomly came across it while doom scrolling then instantly bought it, i love the concept alone of running away from freaky scary monster things with four people on top of a crafty/survival made it ever the more fun, i as well absolutely loved the different biomes progressively getting harder while the player as well getting stronger, i feel as if sometimes certain monsters hit boxes are a little weird to hit but that wasn't that big of a deal, i wish the gun held more ammo and the ammo was a little easier to find, it was also a little annoying how a lot of the creatures could completely dump the wagon but i didn't mind to much having to protect the wagon a little, i dont know if this is the finished product id love to see updates on this game whether it be big updates like map expansion for the maze or that map that was on the wendigos back, but overall these bot's talking about how "it's not worth" or "dont waste your money" they're all just bot behavior lol, definitely haven't played a game this unique before it's a really fun little game to play with someone, i would recommend 10/10 would love to see more

Interface
Players who bring up Interface mostly praise it.
the Cart inventory system the cart is fine but a suggestion have it like minecraft chests where you can insert items into it and craft from the cart pulling inventory from the cart that way you dont have to deal with items flying everywhere and getting lost and Mobs flipping the cart and throwing items everywhere and it takes a long time to clean it up I wouldnt mind being only able to craft from the cart

Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
Graphics are simple enough to enjoy the spooky environment, along with the spooky audio.
