About
Embark on a terrifying adventure in the Himalayan mountains where you play the role of a private detective who's mission is to find a girl that has gone missing after joining an alien-worshipping cult. After your flight crashes you wake up somewhere deep in the mountains of Himalaya and apparently you seem to have been the only one who survived. At first glimpse it seems like you are completely alone there, but soon you will discover that's far from the case. Your first mission will be to try to survive the best you can. You have to manage hunger and thirst, making sure you won't catch a disease, keep warm and build a shelter, tools and eventually construct your own home and make yourself settled since you will soon realize to escape from this place will be far from a walk in the park. Hunt, fish, collect berries, mushrooms and plants to feed yourself. Craft tools and weapons, armor, clothes, workbenches, shelter and sturdy buildings. Progress with attributes and perks, advance in cooking and crafting, craft more advanced items and tools, loot and explore and get yourself prepared, really prepared, to fight off both the wildlife and the mysterious evil that has infestated this God forsaken place. Will you ever manage to escape the evil mountains? Will you find the missing girl? But perhaps most importantly, will you survive?

This game has a long ways to go before it can be ready. Skill tree i think could be redone due to the fact that early game is extremely difficult due to materials needed to craft items that will help you get a foot hold by bringing the gathering and hunting skills toward the bottom instead of higher up. Putting explosive expert at the beginning instead of harvest more materials seems odd or reducing material cost higher up and having to spend 4 lvs to unlock that perk. Also i find that if your inventory is full after you invest points into a loot bag skill to be able to reclaim your items after a death you loose the stuff that was excess. The enemies seem a bit too strong for being broken down husks and the attacks against you the first 2 days is crazy even on day 1 i found a shotgun and 8 rounds off ammo and shot these things point blank in the head took all but 2 shots to kill and my second best weapon is a machete and i depleted my stam bar twice before killing another. like to say this can be a good game but it needs more time. Also to set the record straight you can save the game you just need to build a shelter which is one of your beginner quests and after that you can save and set respawn point and map way point. At this time i will have to say no for the moment and will revisit later after improvements.
It's still very early but this game has a lot of potential.
Jogo com uma proposta boa, mas crú demais para ser lançado, cheio de bugs, não se acha sticks pelo mapa, em ambientes fechados o jogo é escuro demais, mesmo durante o dia não se enxerga nada, inimigos com forças desproporcionais, no qual uma ou duas pancadas já mata, deveria ter opções para não perder o inventário ao morrer, pois o jogo é muito dificil, joguei por 2 horas e desanimei depois de morrer 4 vezes, depois de ter juntado vários itens. Avaliação muito negativa, apesar do jogo ter muito potencial, gráficos bons, designe dos inimigos bem feitos, porém falta muito para ficar bom, não devia ter sido lançado ainda para venda, e sim de graça para testar.
Wow, for what looks to be 1 guy coding, this is pretty good. It's a pain for all the odd behavior and difficulty getting started, but it looks to be a great start on a pretty different survival (horror) game.
Love this Game!!!! Looking forward to SteamDeck compatibility Cheers!!!
Do not buy! Not in this state. Currently, I cannot save and the inventory wont let me select anything due to some rapid clicking thing that is happening...
Sorry I can just not recommend this game. In EA since March 2025 and the game is too DARK. Feels like down no matter weather or time of day with no way to change that. Also you can die from food/water with no warning, not bad but then there is no way to find your stuff assuming it is there to be found. Oh well gave it a shot sorry I can not recommend it.
If you like the infected and sons of forest type gameplay you will probably get into this. Theres balancing to do here but the gameplay foundation itself is good and I’m enjoying it. It’s good when a game ‘feels’ thick and like there’s a lot to do, this has that feel to me, I can see a ton of stuff to craft and think it’ll take at least another 5 or so hours to get to that point. The ai behaviour is refreshing in that they attack in different ways, one dude punches you in the face and then runs away, another is like Flash Gordon and hard to hit. Interesting for sure. What isn’t great is the food element. It’s a bit meh early game catching deer. You just crouch and they don’t ‘see’ you so it becomes a chore bashing deer over head with a club as it seems their HP is high…you then get 1 meat from it. Again - balancing but am sure the dev will get to it.
Building gone, save file wont load anymore.
anybody know where this ♥♥♥♥♥ game saves the game data. so we cant even start a new game?
