The Forever Winter, which has launched in early access today, is a grim dark take on the PvE extraction shooter.

I'm pretty sold on the art style and premise, but will be holding off until a little later to play the game as it looks pretty rough around the edges.

Has anyone played / is planning to play this game?

This looks so cool and I love that it is PvE but this water level mechanic kills the whole game for me. I don't want to play a game that makes me lose my progression when I'm not actively playing it. If they change this I will consider buying it but the developers seem to be pretty hellbent on keeping this mechanic unfortunately. Maybe they will change their tune in a few weeks when they notice that they can't keep players around.

There is absolutely no way that people with kids will ever play this, that includes me. I get the idea, but this isn't a question of it being good or bad - it's physically impossible to ask this from parents. Which I guess probably means we're not the target audience

I'm not even a parent and I don't want this. It's just an unnecessary mechanic to punish casual players for no reason at all. It doesn't add anything to the game.
