Distrust

There is a lot here that is really great and plays really well. Pro tip, don't say "oh I'll fix that window so I can get warm" before you explore the whole building and find there are 3 other broken windows. There are a couple things like mortal wounds from a papercut that are annoying, but if you can suspend the specific and say "ok I was *somehow* seriously wounded and need *something* specific to heal..." Or the aforementioned broken windows that make you freeze to death despite being behind heavy locked doors... The real issue is the RNG is too random, they forgot to ensure some things balance out to actually make the game possible to win. As is, I've tried twice and even on "easy" it was impossible to win because you simply do not have what is required to survive. Like no bandages at all on a map so if you're wounded at the start, you die, game over. The second time one of the items required to get through the gate didn't actually get spawned, so it was impossible to advance even though I was doing pretty well. There are other bugs too though. In one instance the one character couldn't figure out how to use the bed, she just danced around it instead of sleeping so she died of exhastion. Unfortunately it seems the devs abandonded the game shortly after release with no patches, so what could have easily been fixed and made a great game has left an unfinished disapointment.

First of all, this game is hard. You will die a lot until you understand the game enough to succeed. You start with two chatacters, and unlock other by completing achievements (careful, on challenge difficulty only). Each one of them have a special skill who can be useful. As for the gameplay, it's a lot like "This War of mine", it's all about looting and be aware of your hunger, sleep and coldness. There is 3 endings plus one secret. Each time you start a game the level and map are generated ramdomly. Some Blackspot : it's repetitive even with random level generator, the description says "Tons of quest" but don't expect story quests but more like different way to finish each level and it's not very terrifying. If you don't like die and retry game, don't buy it.

Winning requires your 1 to 3 characters surviving in each zone (6 in total) while figuring out how to get to the next. Distrust is pretty fast paced and you’ll be on the move constantly, so this is not the kind of game where you try to survive around a point that you build up (like a camp or base). A lot of its difficulty seems forced, like there is a RNG element that doesn’t make a lot of sense. Also, characters develop illnesses too easily, and scarcity seems contrived. I don’t know if this is a bug but I remember that I couldn’t warm up a room because a window was broken on the other side of the building. Rating: Sub-Zero wins! Recommendation: I didn’t finished the game because I didn’t enjoy the game-play loop, but overall it’s a decent game that will give you a challenge. http://pixelloot.com

I really like the atmosphere of the game. It reminds me more This war of MIne than The Thing movie. Concept that you can't sleep much makes it really cool. If you liked This war of Mine - then this game is for you. There are couple of things i didn't like: 1) selecting new character won't go to him, you have to go to map and go there - makes playing uncomfortable 2) shared inventory - would be much hardre if the inventory isn't shared. Solid game

I never managed to complete it. It's good up to the point where you need to micromanage too much but can't pause AND check stuff to take decisions. I can't manage multiple characters that are exploring. I need to be able to issue chained orders, or have some sort of active pause to not incur in inefficiencies that later will penalize me more and more.
