Wrong call. The mechanic is fine, really adds to the atmosphere, the game just isn’t (or wasn’t at the time i played it) in a place where it’s fun to routinely play yet.

It was a stupid mechanic, and the reason I lost interest in the game.

Same, may give it another try now that I’m not locked out of progression.

I was hyped when I first heard about it. And with them dropping the shitty mechanic that was putting me off, I’ll definitely grab it at some point.
Looks like it’s 20% off right now, but reading through the recent(ish) reviews, it looks like it’s still in a state that I would likely find aggravating. Namely AI jank, and enemies spawning/despawning while in view.
That said, a positive review makes an excellent point:

It’s been on my wishlist, despite the now defunct water mechanic, since I heard about it. And I’ll give the Devs the time they need to cook.
