■ The Ultimate Choice

The story begins with the ultimate choice inside a ship while nuclear missile warning alarms going off: a backpack full of food, a tote bag full of tools, a suitcase full of wallets and game consoles.
The choices that appear in the game will determine your future.

■ Exploration and Bases

Explore your surroundings, find food and materials and establish a base of operation. Events will randomly occur that may help you or cause you to suffer.
At your base of operation, you can organize the junk and food you find and use each to survive.

■ Exploring New Areas

As you explore the ruins, you'll be able to explore other areas as well. The items you find and the events that occur will differ depending on the area you explore.

Ratings and reviews

It's a good premise, but there's just too much variation in the sort of chance system they have. Sometimes death is out of your control, caused by food, faulty maps, mean scavengers... It needs to be more forgiving, or else progress will continue to feel near impossible. It's cool to make games like these that are dependent on you keeping track of your stats and making it hard, etc. But too much randomization and not many positive outcomes can feel draining rather than challenging.

The game is great. It feels too luck based, although it makes some sense, but sometimes it feels unfair. Got medicine, and an ill character, but they didn't use it and died. Refine descriptions need work, as sometimes some refined items make no sense. Some resources are way too scarce, food should be have a bit of a higher "spawn" rate. Translation needs work, but it's quite good. Love how the writing gets messy when character's mentality is too low. It needs improvements, but it's good!

A game with great potential, but just slightly too frustrating. RNG seems unbalanced e.g. Was carrying three keys for an area without coming across the box they open, or going 40 days without coming across the map that let's you move to the next area. Would also like to see more scavenging options e.g. You find a wooden barrel full of food, you have to choose the food or the wood, when realistically you'd take both! Would also like to be able to skip the opening text every time you restart.
