Meh, my friend sent me the Greenlight page to this a while back. I watched the trailer, I was actually grabbed by the in my opinion beautiful first half of the trailer, but then was let down by the over the top and silly last 20 seconds. The horror factor just kills it for me.

Watched the second trailer just now, and once again, I absolutely loved the first half, but ending just left a bad taste in my mouth. But everyone else seems to think it's the best and scariest thing ever so I guess it doesn't really matter.

Reminded me of Minecraft. Beautiful world, you get to cut down trees and build stuff during the day, but when night comes, monsters come out! Somehow I don't think it's going to be scary. Once people have enough weapons and the structures are protected, they'll instantly become braver. But that's just my first impression.

It's very pretty, though.

I have no idea if it'll be scary, at least not based on two trailers, but it looks like it will be extremely fun and interesting to play regardless!

It makes me think of a cross between Cannibal Holocaust, Skyrim and Minecraft.

Looks good, but also looks shit. I have mixed feelings.

Looks like a better version of Miasmata. Is something known regarding the release date? I would give it a try.

The only thing i've had against this game since day 1 (day 1 being when I first saw it on Greenlight) was how the trailers were made. Two trailers in a row with ''ooooooooh what a tweest'' mysterious ending.

Silly thing to whine about but there you go, lol.

The alpha is due out this year, not sure about the final version.

The horror aspect seems pretty cool but at the same time I quite don't like it. Feels like it's just going to be another jumpscare fest, while I'd prefer some sort of a mystery horror theme. (Kinda like Amnesia, I guess.) Still somewhat interested because it would probably be pretty boring without it, and can't really judge after seeing two trailers.
