“It's actually really good. Even now. Would like to see more endings, but the gameplay loop is pretty fun. Like the cosmic horror, it feels really nice. Not cringe or anything. Only suggestion beyond further endings…”
“yeah decent game for what ive played if you like 60 seconds this is similar but not as content filled (atleast from the low knowledge of 60 seconds i have)”
“Very enjoyable game! Was Interesting experiencing the different outcomes. Wish the game was expanded though.”

“Pretty fun. Def love the feeling of the game. That aside - I hate it, but that good hate that makes you play it until you win. xdd I would like to see more items/encounters in the future. And there's the issue where one…”
“A simplistic game that copies the 60 seconds formula to some extent. Starting out you get 60 secs to grab as much as you can and 1 person before the boat sinks. After that each day you have 3 energy to spend on the day…”
“The basic idea and gameplay loop is simple but got me immediately hooked. The RNG is absolutely brutal, though. Which is fair in the general sense of it being a survival game, but requiring every other possible item on…”

— a player, Steam review · 2 hrs played“very fun game me n my friends watch each other play, I only wish there was more to do during the day.”
— a player, Steam review · 3 hrs played“This is such a fun game! You spend less than a minute gathering items before your ship sinks and then you jump on your lifeboat. That's when the main part of the game begins. I love the atmosphere and the situations you run into. It's a fantastic game for only $2.”
