The Hermit Chronicles

Invisible walls inside a sandbox lol :D Inventory is very plain and extremely limited, there is barely anything to craft, there is no tutorial or anything to provide a clue where to find anything but sticks, and the provided axe does not actually chop anything.

Hallo, Ich hatte soeben die Ehre mir zu Genuss gehen zu lassen, ihr Meisterwerk Namens "The Hermit Chronicles" auszuprobieren. Zunächst war ich von Atmosphäre und Grafik sehr angetan, was jedoch während des Spielverlaufs sehr sehr stark nachgelassen hat!!! Es hat mir sehr viel Freude bereitet 3 Stunden lang wie in einem Walkingsimulator durch einen sehr abwechslungsreichen Wald zu laufen, in welchem es keinerlei interessante Dinge zu erfassen gibt. Auch nach einem ganzen Tag Time-Wasting konnte ich endlich auch mit dem Protagonist ihres Spiels Bekanntschaft machen und das einsame Monster der fiktiven Welt besichtigen. Joke: hab das Ding nie gefunden. Ich hatte großen Spielspaß und habe aus so viel Abwechslung und Freude das Game ausversehen deinstalliert. LG NÖ PS.: Das Game hat eigentlich wirklich potential. Mit ein paar Animationen statt Loadingscreens und ein paar mehr Gestalten auf der Map könnte das Game besser werden :) EDIT: Hallo zum zweiten Mal, Erneut hatte ich die Ehre die unfassbar abwechslungsreichen Wälder aus The Hermit Chronicles zu erkunden und dabei auf eine ganz neue Lebenserfahrungs zu stoßen. Nach einer guten Stunde Spielzeit hatte ich das Vergnügen doch noch Bekanntschaft mit ihrem wohl einzigen Lebewesen auf dieser Map zu machen. Das vermeidliche "Monster" begrüßte mich ganz sachte. Nach einer netten Unterhaltung durfte ich dieses sogar erledigen und es mit nach Hause nehmen. Als in mir die Hoffnung aufkam, das Spiel könnte jetzt so richtig in Fahrt kommen, wurde ich leider massiv auf diversen Art und Weisen enttäuscht. Mein guter Freund Nico bestätigte mir nun, das Spiel ab diesem Punkt durchgespielt zu haben. Dies ist natürlich nicht so schlimm.... Sondern FATAL. Dennoch riesige Freude an dem Walking Simulator mit tartsächlich guter Athmosphäre. Ganz nette Grüße GELL Servus

I like horror games and then there's also a cool combo survival.

Before I proceed with my review, I want to preface that I recommend this game because I think it has great potential. As long as the developer continues to work the game and pushes bug-fixes; this game could become a great time passer. What I like: The sounds of nature, the birds, the breeze, the moving of the trees provides the environment I know as the PNW. It truly feels like I'm in the pine forest of Oregon with the ferns while flowers and grasses. I like the fact you start off with an area you can sleep, cook, and safe place to run to if needed. Given this game assumes you've already established yourself and explored the area, you have trails to follow and a full map to show you where the POIs are. This game wasn't marketed as, you got dropped off some place and you have to gather and build before dark sets. While I like those types of games as well, this one was marketed as you are a hermit living in the woods away from the city, enjoying your solitude. Items that you can pick up appear to be easily spotted, though the only thing I could find to pick up so far, were sticks. I like when you press tab you see a compass to see what direction you're traveling to situate yourself on the map or to where you're going. Though, I haven't tried going off the trails much yet, if you can, in some areas you need to jump and I haven't figured out if you're able to jump yet to see if you can go off the trails yet. Discovered Bugs: 1. The most obvious one would be the menu and the fact it's a challenge to move my mouse around to click on a menu item. This includes when you bring up the calendar to save your game and when you try and cook something on the stove. I wasn't able to exit out of the cooking menu because the mouse pointer didn't show up and couldn't figure out what hotkey to press to cancel out. I had to exit and reload the game. 2. About 5 - 10 minutes in, the FPS drops considerably and for about 30 seconds I can't move or I just bounce all over the place. Then every 2 - 5 minutes there's this 30 second FPS drop... I'm assuming it could be the games autosaving? Just a thought. My computer may also play a role in that, though other steam games have not shown this much FPS issues as of yet. Things That Need Work Again, this could simply be the fact I haven't had enough game time in do to the bugs I mentioned above has discouraged me from playing longer. I've not been able to figure out how to bring up the crafting menu. I noticed my inventory pops when I press and hold the tab, but I'm not able to select anything. I do see it's possible to have an axe, but either crafting is currently unavailable at this time and I need to find an axe, or, I just haven't found the right hotkeys yet. I've tried all the common keys, F, I, C, B, M, etc. The only thing I've found so far is MAP and COMPASS/INVENTORY. I also was going to say not a whole lot to gather, but it's probably because I haven't gone too far from the cabin do to the issue with FPS and the fact I fear my computer will crash at any moment losing the game time/stats/items I've gathered thus far. I will follow the news on this and try again after more updates come through. Overview? Great start! Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

To be honest, IT'S A SHAME TO SELL THIS..... unfinished..... something.... with: * Last update was on 27/07/2023... * Story line (STILL) will be added (nobody knows when)! * No tutorial * No camp creation * Just a waste of money and time!!!!
