    This game gives me such intense anxiety. Just thinking of booting and playing makes me uneasy. Though from what l have played of it, it's a really good game and fun once you get a little base going.

    I definitely fought back and murdered some of those poor sea creatures with my prawn. Sort of felt bad about it though in the end.
