The verdict
A beautiful, atmospheric Finnish-mythology survival story that feels unfinished at launch, with save, keybinding, audio and crash problems. Skip it if you want polish or flexible controls.
Great for
Patient players who like slow, atmospheric, lore-driven survival like The Forest and can tolerate rough edges
Main risk
Bed-only saving, no key rebinding and bugs can wipe out progress and make it feel like unfinished early access

No key rebinding or accessibility options
Mentioned in ~1 in 3 negative reviews
“Can't rebind controls, this is such an easy thing to implement that locks so many players (left handed players, azerty players, and players with disabilities) out of playing the game.”

Clunky, punishing combat and 12-arrow limit
Mentioned in ~1 in 5 negative reviews
“Combat is very clunky; the damage you take is ridiculous with no apparent way to heal at this stage of the game, and the fact you can only have 12 arrows on your person at a time is terrible.”
