e-River Cabin Journal

RUS PLEASE

Игра о конфликте человека с природой, которая всем множеством доступных ей средств противится покорению. В борьбе за существование придется постоянно противостоять суровому климату, опасными дикими животным и главным образом собственной некомпетентности. Топор, рыболовные снасти, охотничьи винтовка с ружьем да старательский лоток станут вашими надежными товарищами и соседями по избе. Давно не точенный нож, не прокипяченная вода, не по погоде подобранная одежда, не чищенный револьвер или же не закрытая ночью на засов дверь, ошибка при сборе дикоросов, как и множество иных мелочей, которым не уделено должное внимание, могут привести к заболеваниям, травмам и даже скоропостижной кончине персонажа. Говорить о полном реализме, пожалуй, не стоит. То, что должно быть пусть с тяжелым трудом и риском, но все же жизнью, здесь гиперболизировано до выживания. Но именно этим и достигается увлечение процессом. Зачастую ощущение, как от попадания не куда в таежное зимовье, а и вовсе в экзотику — некий из читанных в далеком детстве романов Джека Лондона. Каноэ для сплавов по рекам, резьба по дереву для последующей продажи фигурок или же собственноручное, специально и к месту реализованное монотонным и нудным, лоскутное шитье... пледа для укрывания им при чтении книг у камина и тем самым получения знаниий, крайне необходимых для завтрашнего дня. Таких необыкновенных моментов и деталей в игре обилие. E-River Cabin Journal несомненно стоит того, чтобы быть сыгранной.

E-River Journal is a rather unique and very addictive. It is a game that requires thought and planning, so if you're looking for a fast-paced, high-octane 'adrenaline rush', this may not be the game for you. If you're looking for a true 'survival game', where each day brings danger, this is the game for you. The game is played in real time. If it takes you 30 minutes to chop a tree for firewood, it will literally take you that long. And it's a game of choices and consequences. Do you go hunt for meat or fish? Do you build a gun room or a smoker? Each action requires the appropriate resource to carry out, plus a certain amount of energy. Go and chop wood and come face to face with a bear? It could happen Have a nasty injury chopping wood? It could happen as well Welcome to Alaska

If you're a normal person who plays during the day and can stop and check in often, definitly buy this. If you're like me and can only play at night, or can only spend an hour or two on it, you're going to get frustrated real quick. I knew it was real time, but I assumed that meant waiting X amount of minutes before X task was up. I didn't realize that meant it would be dark in game from my reallife 5 PM to 4 AM. Since I work until 5 every day, that means I essentially can't play this game at all. To be able to advance at all you need to do things that you can only do during the day. I've been drooling over this game for quite some time. I only played a short amount of time so far, since I could do very little in game (it was too dark), but it seems well put together, and it does make you anxious about planning what to do next (Hurry! I want to do X next! or :O A wolf!!? That's just what I need while I'm starving and searching for berries!) I wanted a survival game that puts you in realistic shoes and forces you to go farther than just surface worries and a point and click. I wanted something that would be educational and mentally stimulating. It is. I *don't* like the real time aspect of it. Chances are I won't be able to play this at ALL with my schedule. And a minor annoyance is that when you're 'writing' in the journal, you can't speed up the typing by clicking. I read really fast and it's kindof annoying that it goes so slow. But so far, these are my only complaints.

Once upon a time, I got fed up with city life and decided to move to Alaska, live in the middle of no where and get away from it all. I didn't know jack and froze to death the first night. Twice upon a time, I got fed up with the city and left for a cabin in the middle of Alaska. I still didn't know jack, (and didn't really know that I didn't know jack) and died two days later. Thrice upon a time, ... yeah I got fed up with the city and bought a cabin in the middle of Denali National Park in Alaska. This time I knew that I didn't know jack and made sure that I was covering the basics every day. 218 days later, I'm still alive and life is pretty nice. e-River Cabin Journal is not a game as much as a puzzle. A puzzle that requires patience, planning, observation and thinking things through. Decisions have consequences. This games is all about decisions. And a little bit of luck. Playing in real time means that you have to fit logging in around your real life, sort of like a hobby. If you are not into solving complex strategy puzzles, this is not for you. If you want to virtually go through something like actually bugging out for Alaksa (but essentially being a clueless bunny on arrival) and seeing if you can survive, this is your cup of tea. As a plus, the discussion board can be pretty lively at times and most of the other players are very helpful and fun. As for me, I'm usually out looking for my dog. Again. And again. And again. Maybe the devs should give me a cat.

很小众的游戏，但是我喜欢这样的风格和细节，游戏描述了独自在阿拉斯加一个人的生活，可以钓鱼，打猎，淘金，游戏内容飞常丰富。我看过很多记录片，描写在阿拉斯加生活的人么，他们勇敢，有毅力，充满着智慧，我很佩服这些人，甚至我也有想去阿拉斯加生活的冲动，那里吸引着我。游戏方面是全英文的。我真希望作者可以出中文版，这是我唯一的要求。

This game 100% is not for everyone.. The Devs have made this prettty ckear,, I did some homework on this one.. It's not an easy game..At times I am left scratching my head.. Getting started (In my case in the Oct) is tougher then any game I've ever played.... you log into a cold cabin with no firewood.. you can't even read as it's just too cold.. meaning you have to go try to chop wood first.. I got hammered by a bear,,, managed to kill him then simply walked away from the tree I dropped.... (why not just go back and finis?) so you lose the energy.. have to try again and hope to God you can just manage to get enough wood to warm light the fire and get the cabin warm enough to read...... sounds like a ton of ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I know... Truth is this game is addictive! I think starting any other time of the year outside of winter and you would have a fighting chance,,, winter is brutle on a new player! would love to see animal attacks turn off for day zero.. or at least a days worth of firewood stored up... so you can get to the meat of what makes this game amazing.. Skill game is done by reading and doing! I love that! you can hunt, trap, fish, hell you can make blankets and carve to make a living.. so many options! so much to learn and do... This is a real time game.. you don't need to sit for hours at a time in front of a computer to play,,, you set a task.. and you can go cook dinner while the task is being done.... I think Old school gamers will love this thing.. I'm hooked! I love the options! Oh as I said in a post.. This game will make you want to kick the garbage can! But when you reach a goal.. you feel like you earned it....... something I have missed as they watered down gaming over the years! you need to think! you need to plan and you need to hope to God the wild cheese moose does not come charging out of the woods while your trying to get some wood for the fire... cause fire is life...... Not only would I recomend this game.. as a parent I would love to see my kids playing this one.... 1 last note.. The Devs are amazing.. this game has been out for some time... they are still in the forums every day.. still making changes and very into helping ..... I love that! I feel like by buying the game I am helping to support and lost art form :) you old schoolers! get in the game... But read first! you will have a fighting chance if you just take the time to do a little reading before you rush into this one!

What can I say about this game? Definitely worth a buy. I've spend some time learning the ropes in guite a few early runs, but started more seriously at the beginning of summer. That is, durring May as a prospector taking Normal difficulty and Fast-forward option. Propably that's the easiest playthrough you can get. At the time of writing this review I'm well off and ready to survive the winter in all it's glory and peril. Thus I'll be starting anew right now in a harsher conditions (it's Fall/Autumn right now) and maybe as a fisherman. On the plus side, the game is constantly in developement and new content and fixes are appearing. Is it playable? Yes. If by any chance you get a crash or find a bug give a shout on the forum in a constructive way and Dev will gladly fix. The more detail you disclose the quicker it will happen. This Review will be updated with any future playtroughs so stay tuned.
