★★★★★ "Irritated. Why am I forced to use certain cards when I don’t have the tool the card needs? Why can’t I select from different cards? And then the day just ends? I just paid $0.99 to be irritated and have a game that feels unplayable." - Yorty40

★★★★★ "RNG nightmare. Purchased the game and loved the fact it was rng survival…. That ended quickly as you have to have a tool bench to make tools to build your fire or upgrade your cabin. I’ve been playing for about 15 games and have never seen this card once……" - Ymir0624

Dont waste ur money
Its just chance
Irritated
Why am I forced to use certain cards when I don’t have the tool the card needs? Why can’t I select from different cards? And then the day just ends? I just paid $0.99 to be irritated and have a game that feels unplayable.
Other T**** Game
This developer has another pro T**** game. Uninstalling this game I will not support pro-natxx-ism in any form. That game should be taken down. Shame!
Has potential but made poorly
Could be a great game but so many errors, bugs, and dumb dev decisions ruin it.
Not fun
It’s not a difficult game, it’s a frustrating game with some glaring bugs and issues that make it a chore to play.
I have it a shot thinking others must have a skill issue, but no, this game simply is bad.

RNG nightmare
Purchased the game and loved the fact it was rng survival…. That ended quickly as you have to have a tool bench to make tools to build your fire or upgrade your cabin. I’ve been playing for about 15 games and have never seen this card once….. if it’s detrimental to have this to survive why is it so rare of a card? It’s unplayable at this point and I will request my money back. Not worth the dollar spent.
Frustratingly Unwinnable
I made it to 153 days once, then died because the stove broke and the option to repair it never came up. Nor did the option to repair my tools! I just had to sit there with a big stockpile of supplies while my food supplies dwindled and everything broke down…plenty of useless to do list and meditation cards though. The review on limited player agency hits the nail on the head…which you won’t be able to do because your options are so limited. Feels unfinished.
Bad Business Model - Gameplay is worthwhile in a waiting room without magazines.
The pop ups to purchase a rebranded version gives freemium vibes. I purchased the game for $1.99 so asking me for more money every time I open or close the app is gross. At a minimum allow us to turn off your game promo adds.
Total scam!
This game is so bogus do not buy it!
Workshop glitch
Would be an awesome game if it didn’t glitch when trying to build workshop, go to use the workshop card and he says “I need to build a workshop first”
Kinda like it
It feels kinda sketchy in the sense it’s dang near impossible to win even after allllll the in app diamonds I have purchased.
Don’t get
This game is super buggy and infuriating. I would lose hearts completely out of random, as will as get stuck in transition cards and sometimes the furnace timer wouldn’t even show. The concept of trying to survive with the cards you’re dealt is a good idea but when I play 2 games in a row without getting wood (which is imperative for your survival) AT ALL is beyond frustrating and annoying. This is an entirely luck based game which takes away from the fun. When I finally beat the game it took forever because it refused to give me “repair plane” cards and I had to forcibly buy them from the in game currency I earned over time which I lost 8 hearts immediately after for absolutely no reason. This game is so bad that this is the first time I write a review to warn others not to waste their money
Quick review
This is the first game that I’ve ever played that was so bad I actually wanted to write a review.
Not once did I get the option to build a workbench after the tutorial leading me to get no further than 10 days, if there’s going to be rng at the very least make it to where it won’t be impossible to actually do anything on the game.
The game feels like it was centered around pandering off microtransacrions considering the diamond currency is the only way to actually get cards you need/want.
It looked promising too, unfortunate.

In App Purchases req
Designed to fail unless continually using in-app purchases.
Also, brown bears in Greenland, and spear fishing for tuna?

Doesn’t work
The game bleeds off the screen and the cards aren’t accessible.
I want a refund
Good concept, terrible game. Could be fun if you only had so many moves per day, but the “cards” your dealt are illogical. If I need food that is going to be my priority. If I need wood that is going to be my priority. I’m not just going to do nothing because I don’t have the tools for it yet. Awful. Don’t waste your time.
Game gets stagnant after a while
I wish there were updates for this game and different survival stories / scenarios. It is a good game but kinda gets old after a while especially when you get to over 100 days and one issue is at higher levels of the game you can have all your hearts and it only takes one chance for example your stove breaks then the cold hits and removes portion of your heart and you think you can do something about but you get sick at that same time and then remaining hearts and you die. This is the annoying part about it.
