Perfect

If perfection exists in this universe in glad to own it and play it and now right it a review the simple graphics are awesome the story amazing and it even beats the dark room (which I'm happy to have bought regardless of the simple description and only one photo though that might have been why I did because it intrigued me and this did the same) it's worth every penny it costs and I think everyone should play it atleast ounce in there life where gameplay meets art and story is where the ensign and the dark room lie
Very good.

If you're coming here without having played A Dark Room, I strongly suggest you play ADR first. This prequel is much more interesting if you have played ADR beforehand, and ADR is definitely worth it. To anyone else or anyone who just wants to know how this game is: First off, I prefer ADR, although that's my preference. Second off, this game is HARD. It's basically a rougelite. Actions you make minimally affect your next life. And you will be moving from life to life, that is to say you will be dying, a lot. But it's fun. It is very, very fun, and quite difficult. Tl;dr: Very hard game. Get it if you enjoyed ADR.
Very challenging but quite rewarding once finished

I gave up a year ago when I first started playing this game because it was too difficult. Then I decided to give it another shot but this time I decided to be more persistent. Almost a thousand minutes after I started another journey I was able to finish the minimum requirements and I beat the game. Be persistent you guys, thorough, plan strategically and you too can finish the game! Best of luck!
You will die and feel sad...

This game makes me happy but then I die and feel sad. Then I start doing good, then I die and feel sad. I almost beat the game, then I die and feel sad. I get a good weapon, then I die and feel sad. Everyone I meet wants to kill me, then I die and feel sad. I wish to beat this game, when I do I won't be sad. I am no longer sad.
No Words

There are no words in the english language for how miserable a failure this game is. A Dark Room was a work of emotional art. This program does not even compare. There is no room for planning, no room for strategy. Immediately out of the gate, there is a fixed food supply, and outposts cannot be relooted to restore the supply. The starting hitpoints are insufficient to deal with the first assault the player is pressed into by a dwindling food supply, and there is not enough storage space to carry the knife, sword, and enough food to survive the engagement. The beginning of this game boils down to pure chance, and I find that to be contrary to everything ADR stood for. Furthermore, the overpowered defector with 200 HP and a Carbine can spawn at any moment to home in on you, and dispatch you, and you have no choice in the matter when it engages you. The more you die, the more taunting screens you're presented with, even to the point where you're told to just "give up like the rest." Really? This game is just garbage. It's a molestation of an aspect of ADR, and Amarali Rajan is essentially trying to push this garbage on the coattails of his ADR iOS port. Stay far away.
A wonderful prequel

I have bested a dark room as well as the ensign, highly recommended an app with the difficulty of dark souls, as well as a similar mood, but delightfully simple and text based
Not for the easily discouraged

A well thought out prequel with stupidly difficult obstacles, was worth every second. After beating the game 100%, finally felt accomplished.
Meh

I wouldn't listen to any of the hyped up reviews, it is challenging though
As good as the predecessor

This game and its sequel are perfect. They totally were worth the small cost.
