Reviews
A piece of AI-generated trash made with zero effort — everything is done by the usual template these kinds of games use (I’m talking about the saves and menus). The game is also full of bugs: the tutorial on the right side of the screen doesn’t disappear, and when you use campfires, you either glitch into textures or fall through the map. That’s where my patience ran out.
This free game is easily the worst ones so far. The audio alone is unbearable, the glitching sound is constant and irritating. The tutorial? Basically nonexistent. Just button prompts in black text on a black background… you literally can’t read it. There’s no real storyline, no feedback when you hit enemies, no indication when you take damage unless you stare at your health bar. It feels completely unfinished—like maybe 10% of a game. I almost never say this… but don’t download it. It’s not worth your time. If they fix it in the future, maybe it could become something? But right now, It’s just frustrating.

PT-BR No início o jogo travou algumas vezes, mas em seguida consegui jogar de boa As mecânicas e a jogabilidade são meio estranhas, mas com o tempo você se acostuma O jogo ta um pouco bugado pois ao atacar o inimigo no início, o personagem não responde os comandos. só funcionou depois de eu levar um hit. Joguei por muito pouco tempo, então essas são minhas primeiras impressões (não precisa levar muito a sério kkkk) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ENG At first the game froze a few times, but then I managed to play smoothly. The mechanics and gameplay are a bit strange, but you get used to them over time. The game is a little buggy because when attacking the enemy at the beginning, the character doesn't respond to commands. It only worked after I took a hit. I played for a very short time, so these are my first impressions (don't take them too seriously lol).
