Surviving the unforgiving concrete wilderness of a ruined ecosystem demands more than twenty-five hours before the struggle truly clicks for most players. The reward for this brutal initiation is a staggering 94 % positive rating across 54795 global Steam reviews, complemented by a 91 % positive score post-release.

What it's about: Vous êtes un chat-limace nomade, à la fois proie et prédateur, qui évolue dans un écosystème corrompu. Muni de votre lance, affrontez les friches industrielles et chassez pour survivre. Prenez garde.... D'autres créatures, bien plus imposantes, font de même, et raffolent des chats-limaces.
