Downloaded it on my switch today, need to wait a day till it unlocks. I'm excited about it.

I'm getting it on switch instead.
Already finished it on PC, one of the best indie games i've ever played.

tips:

>in each new safe house, drag all the lights in a single room and block the doors/windows, this works best for the first half of the game
>there's always an abandoned place near each new safe house that is full of resources, especially wood, make it a point to raid it as soon as you can and then store everything
>hoarde ammo, basically never use it early on
>make/find guns as soon as humanly possible
>it's ok to make stronger melee weapons if you can but don't obsess over it, the second half of the game is 100% all about guns, proximity will often mean a quick death

Don't trust your house for too long.

How does it plays? Similar to don't starve? Is it finishable or is one of those where you try to survive the longest until you die?

It's a slow paced top down survival horror game.
GTA meets Silent Hill with survival elements.
Moving, running, meleeing and shooting all take time and understanding when and how to do things propely is the difference between surviving an encounter and eating shit even against weak starting enemies.
Light/dark are super important, you want to go back to your safe house every night and try to survive, you only want to go around during the day.
No, it's not a "keep going until you're bored", it has a narrative, a main plot and a series of smaller side activities.
Survival is actual survival so you can progress the story, not just for the sake of survival.

Same for crafting, you craft shit you'll actually need to survive and beat the game.
Line of sight is extremely important.
Resources are scarce.
Scavenging and trading is essential.
Locations are randomized each playtrough only in their placement, not the type of location, the content and type of locations in the game is fixed and forms a coherent package.

>Devs successfully make game with no jump scares but is still scary
>Devs upload full copy of the game to pirate so everyone can experience a complete version
>Best indie horror game in years

I love this game and I'm glad console bros get a chance. It's horrifying yet beautiful.

>drag all the lights in a single room and block the doors/windows, this works best for the first half of the game
Drag the lights into your room or a room next to it? I'm assuming your room.

Just a few more hours.
