I grabbed this last night based on the Rust team's recommendation and because it's cheap. It's in alpha and is currently the number one selling game on Steam.
Basically, it's a single player, horror themed Rust.
There's no instruction manual yet or a very good tutorial that I noticed, so it was sort of boring early on, which I thought was intentional. Turns out, I was just lucky.
I'll write more later when I've played it for more than an hour, but if you happen to pick it up, right mouse blocks. (Wish I had known that when I started the first time.)

Fucking A - this game goes from boring to YOU ARE DEAD in like 2 seconds.
e: and between playing this game, they added giant fucking sharks to the water areas near important resources. This is a horror game.

So the bow sucks, it's mostly for hunting. You basically get two lives, and expect to die a bunch.
The enemies are stronger then you, but you can outrun them if you have enough energy.
Fuck the sharks. Apparently you can build a house-boat.

Scary game is now on sale.
They are doing Co-op for this. I think it's only 2 player right now, but they are expanding.
Will be fun-as-shit when they get it going with more players. Also, likely the only way i'll ever be able to really play this scary ass game.
Have added tree-houses and actually functional house-boats since I last posted. e: and another cannibal faction

If this drops a bit, I'll go for it. Or wait until 2-Jan.

I still don't know how I feel about this game.
I do know there are WAY too many enemies.

Not that type of game.
If you're fighting, you're fucked.

Spent an hour with this last night. Still not in love with it, but they are continuing work, which is promising.
Now you are hidden when crouching or tougher to spot. It also will help you to know if you've been spotted as the hidden icon doesn't show up if you crouch and someone sees you.
Also, the game isn't an instant fail if you're found. In an hour I was discovered three times, but all by solo people. They didn't run to alert their tribe before I could kill them, so that was nice.
However...
In that hour I hadn't even built a single shelter yet and was discovered twice. In fact, I was discovered while cutting down the very first tree to build a shelter. That's still WAY too often.
I quit after the third one appeared in pitch black night and killed me without me being able to see.
Still a lot of work to go for them, but it's getting better.

It's co-op now right? Seems like the sort of game that would be better with other people.

It is co-op, and I'd be interested in playing it as such, but I don't know who else has it. Also, because it's Alpha I don't know that I want to recommend it. The development process, while actively continuing, has been sloooooooow.

Played a lot of this over the weekend as I'm taking a break from Rust to ensure it doesn't get stale.
(Plus, my base is unraidable and the server I'm on...well...things got hostile...REALLY, REALLY hostile. Like a guy reporting the best man at his wedding for cheating, he wasn't, and then rage quitting with his wife.)
Anyway, I finally figured out combat. Blocking is mandatory and it takes a bit to master. Once you get that down you can start using the enemies' patterns against them. I've even taken down two of the massive flesh beasts with molotovs. A group of enemies is still dangerous, but no longer a game ender for me.
I'm still working on base building though as custom bases aren't as easy as in Rust and Arc. I have built the houseboat and it's pretty cool.
I also figured out food, which is tougher than you'd think.
I'm still working on learning to safely explore and how to craft.
I haven't tried co-op yet as I'd rather play with someone I know than a random...not even sure you can partner with a random?
