[This is the game I just found.](http://onehouronelife.com/) It looks like somethings I both love and dislike. Short and sweet. I lose interest after a week or so of casual games. It looks like it has some depth, so I can keep coming back and finding new things. Multiplayer interactions are not my thing. I can’t play and type, I am terrible at all games and other people always make me feel bad about this without even trying, I’m that bad at it.

Anyone playing or even heard of it or play it? Very tempted by it but I’ll be mad if I spent twenty bucks on it (on Steam) and just die a dozen times and never play it again. As an aside, these game developers need to name their games easier to search.

Apparently this was a game that had a very high satisfaction rate, then the developer decided to implement a major update called “The Rift” which made it pretty much unplayable.

I’d stay away.

ETA: Now I’m seeing it was undone? It might be worth trying after all.

So sad! Oh well, good thing I asked.

From your link, it sounds like it’s turned into some sort of post-apocalyptic survival game like Rust or DayZ.

I think the developer wanted to make it more challenging.
