Questions for you:
Did you play the demo? How deep did you get, and what killed you first: blood loss, an infected wound, a trap, or your character simply giving up?
Is this level of body simulation (bandaging every cut, treating infections, amputating limbs, managing mood) the kind of survival you want, or does it become a chore after a few runs? The game has adjustable loot and danger settings and a “censor pain” option: will you touch them, or play it as intended?
Prostheses can replace lost limbs, and the best tier is better than the original. Does that make losing an arm or a leg feel like a strategy instead of a punishment?
The game is in English and Simplified Chinese only, with no French. Is that a problem for a game with this much text and item information, or is it fine for you?
€18.69 on the French Steam store with the launch discount (until November 23): would you buy it now, wait for reviews of the later layers, or stick with the free demo for now?
Content note: the developer warns that the game deals with depression, violence, dismemberment, drug use and self-harm. Please keep the discussion respectful, and look after yourself.
