    A deeply broken, unoptimized game- don't trust the youtube videos, they cut around the jank, the lag, the UI problems, the camera control problems, the frame drops, the crashes, and the hours of nothing happening. I keep wanting this game to be good. It isn't. Based on the other reviews, people have been convincing themselves it's "really good" despite being unplayable for two years now. The game they imagine this…

    Very good idea, and honestly I am impressed by the thought and the work put in. However, I've tried my best to use the basic functions, but instead of fixing very basic elements like the godawful camera or the fact that land animals just dont want to live, the dev invents more legs or a poison system. Dude, your game doesnt function on a basic level on my not so shitty machine, please focus on making the game…
