This game is so ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ cool. It's totally consumed my life and thoughts since I got it. There's so much to figure out and experience, and the game treats these reveals and surprises with respect. Nothing is just straight up told to you, and the exposition there is; is lovingly integrated within the game world. It rocks. I w=just wish there was even more writing but everything that's there is amazing. I wish it was bigger. I wish I could stick around with these characters and make return trips and find even more absurdly freaky sci-fi shenanigans. I know there must be a bunch I'm still unaware of, like good uses for the EVA suit, more ways to eliminate or perhaps capture lifeforms ect. I know the content seems abandoned, but god please answer my prayer if you want someone to write some more intros, I am becoming passionate about the vaugue background world, or if you ever just ever felt the urge to do even more with this game, please do it. It's so amazing. Overall it's got all the systems in place a good space immersive sim should, condensed into this crazy awesome rouge-like format. It's incredibly charming, way more thoughtful than I initially gave it credit for, and something I envision myself coming back to as a classic. Again, if you've ever felt the urge or had the opportunity to do even more with it, trust that instinct. I can't believe this game isn't more popular than it is.

Scavenger SV-4 is incredibly creative and entertaining, the horror elements genuinely made me so scared. The lore and tidbits you get is so cool and entertaining, I love the designs for everything from the animals, robots on the planets, and the ship. I just wish there was more to it, more game play. I love rougeikes but this would be so much better with a fully fleshed out game where you go planet to planet collecting items, getting stronger and stronger each planet. I feel like its constricted to its genre how it is and the game could be incredible if it was expanded,

Neat little roguelike about scavenging a terribly radioactive planet for alien artifacts to further advance your (and the human race's) knowledge about alien life. Although I haven't played too much I love the concept and am totally enjoying the experience so far, very immersive setting and every run you play you get a new log which gives a story about who you are and why you're there. I won't spoil too much about what you can find but note that it is a heavily limited experience and every run lasts about an hour and a half, or more if you want to be greedy or don't mind getting a brain tumour on account of the radiation frying your insides...

I feel like this is both the game's blessing and curse. On the bright side: you get a new fresh experience every time, with a new planet and species to learn about and different artifacts to explore (some of which can actually be installed on your rover as upgrades) However, this also can make your progress feel shallow as every time you check back at the autodoc you are reminded how limited your stay has to be. Nevertheless, I think 18 dollars (in my currency of course) is the perfect price for a game like this - if a little on the cheap side - really my only true grumble is that I haven't had enough, and want more. Although I know this game has a lot more for me to see, I feel I will always have a sad feeling every time I remember it because it has so much room for new content of which will never be added because it is complete, not necessarily a bad thing but I would be lying if I said I wasn't a bit disappointed to learn it was no longer receiving updates... which I learned about 6 years too late.

8.5/10 would get lulled into a false sense of security and jump scared again just to have more content added
