*Those of you who try to bash me over the fact its an "Early Access" game, seriously would you rather I give every game 10/10 praise just because? Read or don't, your choice*

NOTE: The amount of time spent is correct (at the time of writing this review, 2.5 hrs), so no, I am not done. Just giving my thoughts on the so far. This is NOT by any means a "I'm done" review, just a so far review.

No joke, this game is HARD! Find food? PRIMARY! Find Meds? PRIMARY! Find Bandages? PRIMARY!
Have a knife & you see enemies? DO NOT RUSH, you are far more likely to die if you rush in.
Build Beds so your guys can heal from sickness, some wounds, and your guys will ALWAYS get tired after every scavenge mission. Build Stove to cook food (you can eat raw, but i doubt thats a good idea). Upgrade your stuff to unlock better build & upgrade options.

Watch Totalbiscuit's "WTF is.." of this, and if you're still unsure, check GT Reviews. This game is dark, cold, psychological, mostly a sneaking type game like Thief, some ways feels like Castlevania (minus the monsters), and reminds me heavily of the Scattered Colony flash game (very similar, except you can't pick what you get in that game, this one you can).

Trust me, its very easy to die in this game if you're not careful. If you can make a shovel, bring it with you on scavenge missions (it will help if you need to clear the way or need to defend yourself). Trader will always show up at your door, read the item descriptions to gauge their worth to your survival - and don't ONLY get components while out there on missions, you can't trade that (which is dumb - devs, seriously, what is more important? surviving or building?) and if you find diamonds grab them (really good trade items even tho i don't see why anyone would value that over guns, food, meds, and bandages).

Personally, I wish I could just say "Maybe Recommended" since I haven't played enough. For now I'm recommending.
I'll update after I beat the game multiple times (multiple stories in the game including a Make Your Own) or until I get seriously frustrated with it.

Buy if you LOVE challenging games.
If you get frustrated easily in games that give you little in the way of starting off, then don't buy it.
This game is NOT for everybody. If you do get it, don't take it lightly cause if you do, you lose very quickly.
