New Survival Game on Steam Takes the Best of The Forest and Valheim, and Throws In Some Firewatch for Good Measure

You can definitely see the influence of popular games in The Gold River Project. It shares the immersive crafting and sense of risk found in games like The Forest, and its open world and cooperative gameplay are reminiscent of Valheim. However, The Gold River Project stands out by creating a strong feeling of loneliness and mystery, making it more similar to Firewatch than most survival-crafting games. Even when playing with friends, the game seems designed to make you feel isolated, and exploring beyond your base always feels dangerous.
