> Alone on a landmass, you wake up next to a beach. Bleeding out. Without conventional medicine available, you turn to more.. questionable.. means of survival.
Brink is a survival game where anything you do comes with a cost: your life. As time progresses, the environment around you increases in hostility for no logical reason other than it makes gameplay more interesting :wink:
The standard map is split up into multiple altitude-based sections such as the beaches, the mountain-tops and the underwater platforms. Due to map sizes, not all maps will contain all regions; restarting the game will regenerate a new map for you. _(Alternatively, activate the development console with the backtick key and restart the world with `gs.start()`)_
In-game help is available by pressing `h`. The two undocumented keys are the grave to toggle the development console and F11 to toggle fullscreen.
Note: Just because the game has tiles doesn't mean it's "minecraft-esque" as a load of people have said. In fact, Minecraft was used a whole lot of "not at all" in the design and dev.
Before I balanced a few things, I let 8th play around. Needless to say, things have since been balanced significantly. ![Li9FPH[1].png](///raw/1ad/e1/z/1c005.png e3415a1c:661x359:png:webp)
And now for a mandatory screenshot because who doesn't love screenshots
Yeah.. I think the other one captures actual gameplay a little better :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

Cool minecraft-esque concept. I had a really hard time figuring it out, though. Is there a way to replenish health? I coulndn't figure out how to get dirt, but I got sand. Made 6 candles but I ran out of health so I couldn't make the altar. Good concept, but maybe a bit confusing.
Great game, and it even has audio! I spent a bit of time wandering around the place before realising I could actually dig up the ground for resources haha! (I was looking for trees to dig and pigs to slaughter initially). I was also confused on how to craft because when I pressed C with the objects selected, nothing happened. I don't play minecraft so I'm not very familiar with crafting systems. Tried drag and drop and nothing happened too. So then the enemies with the eyes came and I died, but I learnt that the map has changed (procedural generation?), which is pretty cool since it might add some level of replayability for some players. I personally didn't get very far in the game but others might have.
