While I enjoyed what I played of it (it was somewhat like a less fun Don't Starve) it got to a point where it would no longer let me interact with items when I was already many hours in, thus making it so that couldn't progress beyond that point. It's a terrible feeling to sink so many hours into a game and then being forced to abandon it or start over due to it's creators not working out it's kinks before selling it.
I opted to abandon rather than start over as this wasn't the first bug I'd encountered (the game also wouldn't allow me to set fires, which I believe would have also eventually prevented me from finishing it) and I'd seen that other players were getting these same issues.
