What We're Looking For
This build introduces a large amount of new content and gameplay. We'd really appreciate your feedback on the following:
Overall experience of the new systems: how renovation, farming, cooking, and power management feel together;
Pre- and post-outbreak locations: whether the atmosphere, exploration, and resource collection meet your expectations;
- Early-game experiencewhether the early-game flow has changed in a good way with the new systems added;
Mid-to-late game experience: after Day 20, do you still have clear goals and the motivation to keep exploring? Do the systems combine to make play richer, or does it start to feel repetitive?
