Winter Survival Simulator
What was supposed to be a nice winter hike in the Mount Washington State Park with friends, turned into a dire situation. You are left alone to fight for your survival. With only marginal supplies you have to fight off of the cold, the wildlife and find your way to an abandoned ranger station in hope to be able to call for help.
While you haven’t suffered any injuries during the fall, you lost your backpack and hence most of your gear and supplies. You will need to find shelter, find some food and rest. Then it’s about making your way to an old ranger station to call for rescue.
Sounds easy enough, doesn’t it? It is, except for the supplies you are going to need for the trip, the weather, the freezing cold, not to mention the wildlife. The goal of the game is to survive. To prepare enough to make the trip to the ranger station and to deal with all the surprises along the journey.
Hunt or be hunted. You have no rifle and there is no combat. If you encounter wolfs or even a bear, stay away and run. You won’t be able to kill a bear with a knife, it’s not the movies.
What you can do is be clever about the wildlife and set traps. You might even be able to find some traps hunters left behind and use them to maintain a safe perimeter or to hunt smaller animals for food. Tracking, establishing the best spot and being patient is what the hunt will be about.
Cold, thirst, hunger and exhaustion are the four major factors you have to worry about. It doesn’t however end there. Injuries are another one and there is the weather. Spending the night in the freezing cold without any shelter is akin to a death sentence and trying to go out in a snow storm isn’t any better either. Don’t forget, weather in the mountains changes quickly and is unpredictable. You have to be prepared at all times.
You are not the first one person in this area. There have been many before you. More than a century ago some even lived here. If you explore your surroundings there is a good chance they may have left something behind that will still be useful to you. And while building a shelter on your own is certainly an option, it is a lot better and safer to adapt something that already exists.
You could find an old hunter lodge and fix it up to offer decent shelter and a base of operations for you to prepare, gather supplies and food and even hunt. You are going to have a long trip ahead of you. The better you prepare, the less risky it will be.
The rescue isn’t going to be instant. Despite modern equipment and well trained mountain rescue personnel, you are far away and their helicopter can’t take off in any weather. Between you calling for help and help actually arriving might take even a couple of days. Additional time you have to survive in the bitter cold at Mount Washington.

Vilset
I played a lot the other game made by the same developer, CrossWorlds: Escape.
For some reason I like that game more than other survival games, despite still being improvable for normal players.
I am confident that this game will have a similar evolution or better.
When you start the game, it shows the following message:
**Welcome to the alpha version of the Vilset.
This version of the game has many limitations, many game mechanics have not yet been implemented, and temporary models and animations are used.**

Fade to Silence
2020 Review Edit: After waiting a good long time and coming back, hoping to play a fully polished and exciting game due to its full release, I have to say…………………………………. This is still sadly a “Not Recommended” title. Not at its full price. Perhaps if a hefty sale price gets slapped onto it, check it out for a bit. However the full release is still chock full of bugs and glitches that make the game crash (not only crash, but I am then forced to restart my entire computer because the game program won’t cease). I’d also hoped the full release would bring more fulfilling content into the mix but progress in this game basically feels like a boring chore with no palpable reward. Final verdict: It’s not bad, it has its unique flavors, but still feels like a rushed product at the end of the day. I’ll wind up beating it eventually just to say I did, since I paid full price back in EA, but save your own time because there are better experiences out there.

I am in love with this game, even in its current state. I don’t write reviews. Positive/Mixed/Negative doesn’t matter to me. If I am interested in a game, I will buy it and check it out for myself. If it’s not worth it, I’ll refund it ASAP. I have zero desire to refund this game. It’s incredibly deep, and incredibly immersive from the get-go. I also find the “finite-lives” aspect rather intriguing, since it adds the element of “hmm, I probably should be a little more careful when I go do this.” Many people don’t like this part of the game and want a more casual experience, but I personally don’t mind for the moment. In my current play through I have played almost 25 hours, and have 4 lives left. One life was lost because I dodged into a wall and became promptly stuck, unable to move. Died to the rippers I was currently engaged with. Another life was lost by a stalker killing me through a wall .Its teleport attack outright rocked my world as I was taking shelter in an abandoned building. I had zero clue it was there, all of a sudden it whooshed through the wall and ate my face.

Scramble
–Overall 8/10–
-Graphics: 6/10: Some parts of the map has icon issues and map looks oddly similar but overall OK UI design and little complexity makes the game more clear to understand
-Gameplay: 7/10: more than enough for a indie developer tycoon/colonisation game.
-Sounds: 10/10: i love the music that plays on the background.Other sounds are great
First of all, this is an indie game even tho it has potential in it you can see by the lack of some aspect; that potential never been used to its maximum. I considered this fact while reviewing keep in mind.

I i was excited to start this game since i missed survival games like this but, there is a big but.
graphics are set to max but looks like a dog took a shit on the game when it was made (i knop its early access but come on)
when i pick up things, they just vannish out of thin air, i am glitching through walls and rocks even have falled through the map a a fair amount of time. i am tired of having hopes for a game even for an early access and get let down. i dont expect much but then again let down. im not going to play this game again before the full version is out. as my experiences with early access games either get forgotten or takes a long long time to get ready for full release. you have a good thing going just put more time and effort to the game and its going to be a realy good game hopefully. i am not going to recomend this game yet until the games gets a few updates and is handeling better than it is know.
