no where near as good as the original dark room game. rapid gear degradation makes exploring a chore, other mechanics of the game very much an extension of the original (combat, movement exploring, visuals etc) story line not engaging and difficult to interpret, constantly having to replace high tier gear, and loosing combat due to gear failing is the nail in the coffin.

Big fan of A Dark Room, enjoyed this one too. An overall simpler experience of the exploration portion of the prior game, but I appreciated the extra lore and worldbuilding of this one :)

I can't believe this game is only 2 bucks. I'm trying to get other endings and while it's hard it's mostly because I keep jumping ahead. Prequel to a dark room (another good game I downloaded with game pass) I'm having loads of fun with it even though I'm being taunted every time I die lmao. Would not recommend if you don't like text adventures but is a joy if you do.
