Hand Simulator: Survival for Windows

A survival simulator around hands

Hand Simulator: Survival is a premium simulation game developed by HFM Games for PC. It's an open-world survival that revolves around the use of hands and the proper use of them to help players survive the harsh condition that they are placed in when they start playing it.

Similar to Rust and Raft, Hand Simulator: Survival puts players in unfavorable situations and starts with nothing. They need to forage for food, build a shelter, and survive the harsh conditions that come their way. All of these while they familiarize themselves with the game's distinct hand mechanics.

What is it about?

Hand Simulator: Survival starts out just like many other survival games, with you and/or a group of strangers stranded on some location. In this case, it's a deserted island. Your goal is to survive longer than everyone else, wait for a ship to pass by. You will need to signal it with a bonfire so you leave the island and get back home in one piece.

To do all of that, you need to learn to fend for yourself. Find a source of clean water to keep you hydrated. Hunt animals for essentials like their pelt for clothing and their meat for nourishment. You will also need materials to build your house to keep you safe at night. You need to be wary of predators on the island, as some of them will try to attack.

If that was not hard enough, you also need to get used to the unique system that Hand Simulator: Survival has in place. The short of it is that you will need to perform basic actions like lifting or grabbing objects with your hands using a, quite frankly, unnecessary mechanic. The whole concept is cumbersome and half-baked that most players wouldn't even bother with playing this game at all.

If it ain't broke...

It's not often that a game feels so incomplete and half-baked that recommending it is such a hard task. Hand Simulator: Survival, unfortunately, falls in this category. It tried to do something unique with its gameplay but ended up making it unnecessarily complicated and hard to enjoy for players. You're better off playing something else.
