What in the flying crap is this deception and FLAT OUT LIE being posted by the developer of this game?
^^ THIS ^^ - Is the type of crap that quite frankly p*sses me off. Let’s be honest here.. This is nothing short of intentional deception and manipulation and a flat out LIE by this developer.
THIS SHOWS US THE CHARACTER OF THIS DEVELOPER ALL BY ITSELF AND IT SHOULD GIVE YOU ALL THE REASON YOU NEED TO PASS ON BUYING THIS GAME.

Era of Survival will give you an hour or two of fun before the boredom inevitably sets in. The game fails mostly in that it ignores the lessons of other survival games. Almost everything you craft takes a minimum of 30 seconds. It also takes an absolute ton of resources. An example is one stone arrow takes something like 35 wood and 10 stone…for one! It also takes 30 seconds real time to make it. If you want to make a bow and 20 arrows, it will take 30 minutes. This is the same with everything. A wood door takes over 100 wood, a single piece of roofing 200. I think both of those items took a full minute each to build.

Thousand Threads
Thousand Threads is a game about walking through beautiful landscapes and the mysteries that emerge in the distance. You deliver mail, and, if you’re curious, peek at the letters before passing them off. You discover ruins, and wander through the ancient stones hoping to find something that could tell you about the world you’re in. You stumble through woods into the path of a bear, and then flee the bear only to bump into a passing stranger. The bear attacks the stranger instead. Maybe you beat down the distracted bear, and heal the stranger if they fall. Maybe you let the bear subdue the stranger, and loot the body after.

This… is a weird recommendation to make. I had a lot of fun with Thousand Threads, but I don’t think it succeeds at being what it clearly, explicitly sets out to be. To give it a thumbs down would be dishonest - I enjoyed this game for what it is! But what it is involves a tremendous breakdown between intent and execution.
I wouldn’t call it a good game. I WOULD call it an interesting one.
Thousand Threads is a game that wants to be a human connection simulator and is instead more of a frontier justice simulator. You deliver letters between a fairly large number of ambulatory cardboard standees who are more or less machines of petty grievance and aggravated assault. You wander beautiful environments, picking flowers, beating wolves to death with the world’s strongest stick, and also beating whatever NPC decides to ambush you on the road to death, also with the world’s strongest stick.

Minotaur Maze
Oh no! The Minotaur got me… I’ll have to play until I find a proper shotgun!
– Real player with 0.7 hrs in game
I’d recommend this game, it’s a nice little dungeon runner game.
Your goal is to navigate through mazes to rescue the princess and then …
The controls are simple and effective, you can adjust your camera angle too if needed.
You go through seven different mazes while the Minotaur is hunting you too.
Each maze gets bigger and the Minotaur becomes faster.
The game fullfills what it has announced, it has nice music and audio and a pleasant looking artstyle.
And it’s free.
Overall, i think it’s a nice little game to spend time on, relatively short depending on your pace but the Minotaur might surprises you around a corner.

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.
Finding Home
I’m really enjoying this game so far!! I love the open sand box feel, with the cross of zombies and survival, It’s a perfect concept. Even though this game is still in Alpha it really is growing fast. So far there have been updates weekly and any suggestions or concerns mentioned in their discord from the community have been discussed and acknowledged. You can really see that the Devs want to bring this game to life with the input from their community. Its great to see an indie company listen to their community and work with them hand in hand. The fact that the company is only charging a 1 time price to buy the game and no future charges for any new maps or DLC is huge too! I cannot wait to see what the future brings!

The game is a very early state but shows lots of promise.
Creator looks into feedback on their discord and is looking to constantly improve the game.
Looks like a fun game to watch and see how it grows!

Guillotine
You’re in a tavern in the woods, but someone is a necromorph hungry for human meat. Guillotine the necromorph, or get eaten alive.
Guillotine is a multiplayer game of lying and deceit, with a pinch of survival.
It can be played with 4-18 players.
VOICE CHAT:
Proximity based voice chat. Sing at the piano, or scream for help when the necromorph is hunting you.
ROUNDS:
The game round has 3 phases:
Gather - Run around the forest, grabbing food and resources.
Discuss - The fog of death starts to rise up. Time to come back to the tavern, craft equipment and discuss.
Vote - Vote a player to get guillotined.
HUNGER:
Necromorphs have to kill people to satisfy their hunger.
Humans have to find food in the forest. Food growing plants are scattered in the forest, but most of them are located around the giant vines.
MATERIALS:
Materials can be collected around the map. They are used to craft items and upgrade equipment.
ZEPPELIN:
Humans can call a zeppelin by depositing the materials on its call table. Once all the required materials are there, the zeppelin will fly into the tavern’s tower and rescue whoever gets in it. If any player manages to escape alive, it is a human victory.
Survivalist: Invisible Strain
Even as a new release, this game is superior to other zombie survival games that I own. I have way more zombie games than this, but I’m only including zombie survival games. I own Project Zomboid, 7 Days to Die, Miscreated, Fort Zombie, State of Decay, and Day Z.
The AI in this game is fantastic.
Zombies track you by visual, smell and sound. You have wind direction to contend with when sneaking up on zombies. They’re fast movers. If you take on three at a time you are probably going to take some damage and risk infection. There’s different classes of zombies too. White (worst), red, blue and green. High pucker factor when you’re hiding in a house freezing your butt off and there’s 6 zombies circling it, trying to figure out where you went.

I give this game in its current state of August 5 2020 a rating of 8/10, -1 due to early access and -1 due to limited options to select (story mode, settings and etc.).
This game is by far the most realistic zombie apocalypse sandbox survival experience for me since I haven’t played DayZ and other similar concept games yet, players like me who are playing on low spec computers will find this game worth buying at fair and low price.
The game has lot of potential, it is still being updated fairly and certainly not abandoned. I haven’t played the prequel to this game yet but I’d stick with the sequel already seeing how good it was.
