Hey bros.
I just wanted to ask you bros if anybody has played Miasmata yet?

About the Game:
Miasmata is a first-person survival adventure game, independently developed by brothers Joe and Bob Johnson.
The Story:
You play as Robert Hughes, a plague-stricken scientist on a journey to discover a cure.
Your adventure begins on the shores of a remote island called Eden.
Long ago, Eden was inhabited by a group of indigenous people, whose extant monuments still decorate the island landscape.
Eden is now home to a scientific research outpost, and it is your hope to reunite with your colleagues working there.
Unfortunately, you'll soon discover that something has gone terribly wrong.
The Gameplay:
Miasmata is a game of survival, exploration and discovery. Our goal was to create gameplay that challenged convention.
We wanted an immersive experience that gives the player the freedom to discover the world at his/her own pace and in his own way.
During his adventure, the player will encounter a mysterious and deadly creature.
This creature can stalk the player for miles, lurking behind grasses and vegetative cover.
By treading carefully and quietly, the player may be able to elude the creature.
If he's careless, however, the player will be forced to confront the creature head-on.
The island of Eden is filled with dozens of plants and fungi, many of which have unique medicinal properties.
Some of these plants hold the secret to curing the plague, so the player must harvest them and run lab experiments to determine their worth.
Exploration is a key component to Miasmata, so we developed an interesting cartography system.
The player can use landmarks, such as ruins and statues, to triangulate his location and construct a map of Eden's boundaries and contours.
Review:
I haven't played the game for long, but it's definitely interesting.
Although it doesn't seem like that, the game is really hard.
In my opinion the hardest thing is the creation of your map.
You have to keep triangulating your positions to reveal new parts of the map.
If you don't do this consequently, you will get lost for sure.
Also you're constantly forced to take medicine, which you have to mix, and drink water.
The mentioned creature really isn't too scary, but he definitely is an annoying barrel XD.
I think it's a bit like amnesia, just without the claustrophobic feeling of the narrow corridors,
but you still can't just run away XD.
Pewds:
Unfortunately, I have to say: I don't think this game is "let's play material".
It's rather repetitive, and I just don't think it would be fun to watch.
EDIT:
Changed the subject a bit.
