The game was a great idea and if the developers delivered on what they promised then this game could of been great. 1) Game is over priced. Two slow runs of the game only took me 12 hours max and I had to force myself to do the second play through just to confirm my next point. This game is worth $8 at best and small team indie developers milking people is a be disgusting. Some indie games are worth the $18 I paid for this game because they provide massive hours of game play and not a half baked game. Example would be Stardew Valley ,Rimworld & FTL. 2) This game claims to offer choices and these choices will change the game. The developers on forums used this to justify their high price because replay ability. This is just a garbage lie there are very few true choices & the game forces you into some very big plot directions with no choice whatsoever. The second half do the game seems devoid of plot and most days you do nothing. The developers should be shamed by this game and spend the next six months adding content and produce a true game with choices. hopefully you did not buy already and waste your money.

I think people should not buy this game or support the company DoubleBear for any future games until the Give a public apology. I don't know about all of you but I found Kickstarter and Steam Early Access to be a wonderful breath of fresh air. I was sick of big AAA and medium sized AA Developers and Publishers pushing out 3/4 made buggy games that after I paid full price for had to wait months before it was patched up and enjoyable. This was the norm and I was sick of it. So I started supporting only EA and Kickstarter games, more than I could afford at times. Dead State is one of those games and I was very happy to support Doublebear. Sadly DoubleBear betrayed its fans and sought to deceive new buyers into believing that Dead State was a finished product in order to take full advantage of the Holiday shopping season. Brian and the Dead State team had pages of known bugs and some of them were game and story breaking. Ask yourself what reason would a Developer move a product that is known to be a buggy mess from Early Access to calling the game fully released. We the gamers are there Publisher and we were not on their backs pushing them to release the game in a unfinished state in order to reap the profit from the Holiday season. My over all point is that when small gamer funded games pull the same fast one as big AAA developers something has to be done about it. This type of behavior and not be rewarded. These type of actions corrupt the new system from within. If this is allowed to happen then we get get a bunch of small studios acting just like the AAA ones because they can. If they had funding problems there are so many other more honest options. We gamers have shown ourselves to be very giving. I ask people to avoid this game until the game is finished and DoubleBear publicly apologies
