Today’s game is Stranded Deep. I’ve kind of given up on the Horror Month thing by this point. I’m not sure why but all my interest in RE 2 suddenly vanished. Still though, Stranded Deep can be scary (at times), especially to the right audience. I was playing with my friend and we built this little house to live in. It took a good hour of playtime but it was worth it.
It’s pretty spacious inside too. we were going to get a bed in here before getting off but we cut down all the trees on the island to make the house. We’ll give them a bit to grow so we don’t hurt the local ecosystem more.
I had to make a few supply runs to other islands. We seem to regularly run out of Lashings. They’re somehow the most valuable thing here, followed only by rocks. My supply run got us enough for 5, which is a start but not much.
We got a nice boat selection near spawn to work with at least, so we got some Lashings from there too. We also got some hammers and lights from it so we’re not working in darkness.
My friend had to go AFK at the end, to go take care of something. He ended up just crouching here and staring into the sun. It was a peaceful sight, though i fear his retinas may be burned in.
Dude when this was included in PS Plus I got fucking consumed by this game! It’s beautiful and brutal and relaxing all at the same time. I would play a Hawaiian playlist on the Spotify app while playing and it was supremely chill… until I died from shark or diarrhea. Like I say, an interesting cocktail of stress and relaxation. Happy to see it getting some love.
It’s like things can start suddenly going catastrophically wrong so quickly despite being calm. It almost ironically mimics the ocean. It’s getting a sequel which is exciting.
Oh snap, I didn’t know that! Excited!!
