I finally have gameplay to share with my friends:

I forgot I was bleeding out. It's very likely that I had a bandage that would have saved me. I think that's usually a starting item. That was also more meat than I could actually eat for a week.

There's a bit of lag with the video. That wasn't happening when I was playing.

In a brand new land of discovery...

....I make the exact same mistake as the last time. Sort of. I could have easily survived looting that wolf for that amount of time in the earlier builds, but as I noted earlier in the video, the newest update made freezing a lot more costly towards condition. I froze to death without my other stats dropping low enough to worry about, which is something that didn't happen before. I would have survived that harvesting in the earlier builds, I'm pretty sure.

I liked that!

I tried to do a serious playthrough and was making some progress and survived at least a day. Then I decided that video was pretty boring, archived the save, and tried to do a new run today. I don't think I'm even going to bother uploading. You can pretty much guess exactly what happened if you watched those two videos.

This time I didn't survive the fight. They readjusted the wolf fights to make them deadlier. Because that' what we needed (:

It feels like my options for recording this game are to either show off like an asshole and get eaten or play it rationally and learn to edit videos so you don't have to sit through 20 minute videos of me carefully looting someone's toilet

"It might be a little quiet"

*waits for tumbleweed to pass by*

Aside from that the game looks rather good for an alpha stage.

Apparently the winter/Christmas update today introduced difficulty/"experience" settings. Pilgrim turns off wolf attacks. Maybe I'll last more than a day while trying to record it now (:

Much cooler additions: Some buildings will now randomly spawn at the start as burned out husks that canot be looted. That's really fun

I really wanna play this but don't think my laptop can handle it :/

The game is surprisingly easy to run. Even on Ultra, the frame rate wasn't that bad.

It's not a very intensive game at all really. The graphics are gorgeous but pretty minimalist, and the game is overall pretty slow and steady. I think it'll run alright on most machines.

Weird. I wanted to look up some info on this game and found a wiki, but most of it is about story and character stuff, which isn't really a thing yet. I think the wiki is based on old kickstarter plans and concepts. A lot of stuff seems kinda MEH though, like they wanted to make Telltale's Walking Dead without zombies and with snow. Doesn't really seem to suite the game as it currently is.

I guess Story mode will need story though (:

I thought this and my laptop could handle Crysis pretty well.... but looking at the minimum requirements it doesn't seem to match it. Might take the plunge anyway.

Drrr do you recommend this game? It's 9.99 on the Humble Store >_>

It depends on what you want out of it tbh

It's a very unforgiving game, and tends to have a bit less outright action to it. It's fun and challenging for me but it's a different type of game.

Of all the games I've played that are in early access, I would say this is the one that's the most affected by updates and it's alpha state. The balance is really tricky and there are usually a few hotfixes just to rebalance things after updates. Because its so unforgiving and you have to make due with very little, very small changes they make can majorly change things.

It's pure survival. Every day you live feels like a victory and every fuckup feels like failure

Hmm I'll wait on it then.
