Status: Full Release

  • Build: Your cabin grows with you: build new rooms to unlock additional game mechanics, including cooking, gardening, crafting and sewing.
  • Grow: Nurture delicate (and delicious) plants in your greenhouse. Eat them raw or make a stew for better nutritional values.
  • Explore: Explore a living, colorful world, ranging from dense forests to dark caves.
  • Survive: Dangerous animals roam some areas in the woods. Better keep a distance if you can. (Among Trees also includes a ZEN mode without dangerous animals)
  • Tame a fox pet!

Among Trees does have a small block of relevant survival stats: Hunger, Thirst, Sleep, Warmth, Health. That being said this is definitely not any type of bushcraft or knife's edge style survival. Water is plentiful and food, though it takes a little bit to get the hang of procurement, is easily obtained as well.

Among Trees is the type of “survival” game that my wife enjoys- tranquil and (relatively) danger free. We both find it beautiful & unique in the looks department but it lacks the gritty ‘walking the knifes edge of death’ that I like in my survival/simulation games.

That being said.

Per a Developer Steam announcement on 11/9/2021, the game is now considered- to them- to be complete. No additional content is planned for the game (beyond some hotfixes) because the developers are moving on to a new project. This was a bit of a slap in the face for many; not only the current game owners but also those looking forward to the Steam release after the year of Epic exclusivity. Plus a fairly detailed roadmap that was basically abandoned when the plug was pulled.

So I guess I’ll just go with the neutral vote on this one. It’s not my cup of tea (which is neither here nor there) and I just found the Developers handling of the entire situation to leave a bit of a sour taste in ones mouth. But it does still cycle on & off on sale pricing, so if you want to pick it up for the hell of it (it IS gorgeous)- why not?

 

There is no additional Hashtag Survival content on this game at this time.
