Welcome to Gold River! A remote camping adventure you can play alone or with up to 4 friends. A chartered float plane will drop you off by beautiful lakes where you can kayak, hike the gorgeous trails, make camp and survive the elements.
One week turns into several as you suspect your guide is never coming back. Deserted, you discover you are trapped and now an unwilling lab rat. Can you survive an ever changing, artificial environment and it's inhabitants?
Manage health, hydration, hunger, fatigue, and temperature. Use your survival skills and earn badges as you learn new ones. Outlast nature and uncover the perils of what lies beneath the surface.
The world shifts with time. Hunt in the abundance of summer, forage in the dying colors of fall, and fight for warmth in the frozen quiet of winter. Find your way through increasingly harsh environments and outsmart your captors to survive and escape.
Discover a mysterious barrier dividing the forest. Solve environmental puzzles, sneak past security patrols, or piece together scavenged tech to bring it down your own way.

看作者更新挺频繁的以为可以尝尝了,结果还是包了糖纸的屎。
I love this game. It tis not at all perfect, but I grind through the flaws. I t will be perfect one day.
I've only played 4hrs but I'm hooked. Yes the game is buggy and I've had issues with the world not generating upon load in. Thats expected with an early access. The world is a large size and feels massive with the dense forest and line of sight, crafting and navigating are simple enough to pick up quickly without feeling like a rinse and repeat of other games. The atmosphere and small clues you find are perfect in setting a eerie vibe. I love this game and can't wait to see more.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 24 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 9 places towards #1, and the 2,404 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Starting out the game did glitch out in the intro cabin, but after that didn't have any performance issues. A few times something would stop working, like being able to drink from the lake or save at a camp fire (still able to save at the save boxes). Just exited out and reloaded it and it was fine. I think the game is fairly deep crafting wise and I look forward to all the new things I'll discover. I do like how expanding your inventory can be done by finding a bigger backpack, cargo shorts or vest with pockets, all cool elements. Food, water and cold all seem realistic, eating once or twice a day is good and doesn't seem like thats all I do is look for food. My only complaint is trying to walk up hills is clunky and its incredibly easy to get fall damage from going down them. Overall I think the game is entertaining and worth the price. Thank you developers
