I need to keep in mind that "survival game" just means "minecraft." I was expecting a lot more out of the narrative promised than the game delivered. You go through a weird little tutorial and the game drops you in the woods. The narrative text on items and what you should do next is cleverly worded and made me chuckle, but is in definite need of some proofreading.

The art was awful, in my opinion. Every night it zooms in on your face in the creepiest way possible, haha.

This might be my fault for expecting a point and click adventure with a strong storyline plot. But "narrative-driven" tends to imply that? Instead I mindlessly wandered around a forest with very little instruction, hacking down trees and doing the basics of minecraft. No thank you.
