I have 328 hrs in now. I've played through WM once before redux and now I'm at 50% of EP1. So I guess it's about 315 hrs survival vs. maybe 13 hrs Wintermute now. For me Wintermute is a nice add on to the game, for sure. What pulled the trigger for me in the end was the setting: you are alone out there in the harsh environment, you have to learn fast, avoid stupid choices and there are no zombies. Youtube videos helped to ingite the fire and Steam offering it for 12,79 EUR (16,78 EUR with the OST) did the rest. I feel almost like I have stolen this game from a shop...

What's a problem for you might not be a problem for the others^^

The rope is pretty long there as far as I remember. I've only been there once yet, but before climbing up such long ropes I sleep until I am fully rested and I think I have even had to take a short nap on the ledge there inbetween to be able to make the last few meters without risking a fall.

That would be so cool! Watching this so many times never makes it lose a bit of the first impression. Just like the game itself

Spent day 3 in the Quonset Garage. Just put my head outside shortly and got back in. Drank some coffee and tea and nibbled on a chocolate bar. I also thought about leaving that place and try for a cave or maybe a fishing hut, but I was too afraid of the wolves. Never fought aurora wolfes before and didn't have a flashlight, so the choice was clear for me. Day 4 finally the wolfes dissapeared, so I decided to visit the nearby houses to break down the furniture for reclaimed wood. I took almost 60 units and collected about 15 stick. Altogether I had about 100 units of reclaimed wood and 100 sticks in the garage. The blizzard was raging at -24°C or so, still I was more confident as on day 1. Made fire inside and cooked up some coffee. From time to time I left my little sauna to feel the blizzard outside. It took less than 30 secs to lose all the warmth and get hypothermia risk. So back inside, drank another hot coffee. 30 real time minutes to go for the badge, I decided to build a snow shelter outside near the backdoor. I spent the majority of the last 30 mins there at cool 1°C. In the end I still had 80 reclaimed wood and 60 sticks left. I really liked the experience! Although it was more of a psychic pressure that a real in game threat for me. Day 1 was really thrilling, I almost got lost running from Quonset to fishing camp while freezing quite badly. The despair because I didn't manage to find a tool (prybar or hatchet or knife). Day 2: cooking a lot tea & coffee and finding the hatchet below tyre stack in the garage. Day 3: almost getting confident that I could make it. Worrying about possible extreme cabin feaver on Day 4. I really liked that I could avoid wolf encounters - only had one on day 2, didn't even see the wolf as I went to check the cars nearby the garage with a flare to see if I missed something in the legrooms. Thanks to Hinterland Studios for making it possible to average players as me to get both batches! My home for the last 3 days:
