The verdict
A gorgeous Victorian-fae survival crafter with deep material-based crafting, but development is on hold and it can feel empty and run poorly. Skip it at full price or if you want a finished game.
Great for
Solo or co-op players who love crafting, building and atmospheric Victorian fae worlds, and buy on sale
Main risk
Development is paused, so the game feels unfinished, repetitive and empty, with no updates coming
