It’s a fun game about being stranded on a desert island.
Some of the mechanics take a minute to get used to but on the whole I like the game, it’s very chill

Survival Engine
Well to start with this is a very well made little demonstration for a mere advertisement.
It really is too bad that it’s creator does not seem to have any intent to turn this into a full survival game as it is actually very fun and has incredible potential, it has it’s flaws to be sure but with some polish and care it could be one of the best indie survival games on steam and with it’s low system requirements it would end up in most survival gamers libraries as long as it was priced reasonably as a full game.

This is a really cute game. When I downloaded it I had no idea it was just a demo so I completed everything really quickly but i love the mechanics of the game and overall play style! I personally would like the ability to move my camera angles and select a space for my character to move to without them getting stuck but other than that I had fun playing!

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.

Among Trees
The game is very beautiful. Game mechanics are simple and easy to pick up for laid back gamers. I expected much more from the overall sustenance in the game, I put in about ten hours of gameplay and im already finished and have everything in the game. Although there is no “end game”, I feel like I finished everything and now the game itself is rather boring.
I am also rather upset there is no audio options, I can’t disable the music or any sounds within the game. The overall audio is extremely loud in my opinion, the bears and cutting down trees are especially loud. I remember the first time running into a bear and jump in my chair because of the volume from the bear roar.

Currently as I am writing this Among Trees doesn’t seem to be being updated, this could change in the future, but the developers had said themselves, “We’ve been developing Among Trees for almost five years now and feel like we’ve taken the game to a great place. We’re planning to fix bugs and optimize the game until the end of the year, but don’t expect any major new features or content. It’s a game we could keep working on forever, but we’ll be moving on to new exciting projects for now!”, Seems to me the game was quite literally abandoned on steam for a last money grab.

Age Of Omens
Normally as Things go I will update my reviews, so keep posted if your interested on where the game is kind of at.
So quick things is the game is great, It’s early stage yes, There is however a satisfying amount of area to explore, lots of crafting options, and a rather nice building system, I have played a large sum of games with building, and this one does it very well.
The Dev is constantly updating the game, bringing fixes and new content, It’s single/multi I haven’t actually made a multiplayer game, I am fine being alone….

This developer has big plans for this game and eventually a sequel, so he is not going to cut and run on us like most EA title developers do (I flat out asked him). He is very responsive on discord and takes everything we the players say seriously, I asked for a longer day cycle and he put it in a patch with some other things literally 30 minutes later.
This is an EA title that is worth your time, money and support, I can’t wait to see what more is in store for Age of Omens. Updates and content come at a brisk pace for just one person and he is in the process of hiring more help. Give it a try, I’m so glad I took a chance even after being burned by so many other EA titles.

In Next Life
In next Life is a crafting, survival, and civilisation building game, where collaboration with other players gives you very real advantages (it is possible to play alone, but it will be harder to survive). Your technology level starts at stone age level, and then it’s up to you and your village members to invent and craft tools and technologies such as fire, baskets, spears, …, in order to survive easier and to advance to new development stages. Time moves quickly and each game played equals one life, including birth, childhood, adulthood and old age.
Badiya: Desert Survival
Only for the EA fans, I will say that.
I personally love these kind of games and have quite a few, but this setting… I just had to have it.
Something absolutely different than other games in the same genre. Those who have played Minecraft (or similar games) know that usually the hardest “world” to survive is the desert. This is all set in the desert, so I think has huge potential of being different and challenging! Also, although at the moment not implemented just yet, there’s going to be sea (and sailing on it), pearl diving, and if I can believe one of the trailers I’d say “Stranded Deep-esque” beaches.

I reveived a key for free, keep that in mind when reading my review.
This review is for alpha 1.9, I will update as the game progresses. I am giving a thumbs up with the following caveats.
1. The game engine is still unstable, though not terribly so. It seems every NPC encountered increases the chance of crashing so make sure to save before visiting any point of interest (area with npc’s). When the game gets laggy save, quit to the main menu and reload.
2. Unfortunately, related to above, the mechanic to save requires building a lean-to. This is not horrible, you can carry the wood around with you, but I hope the devs read this and implement a temporary quick save function until the engine is more stable.
