Not a lot for me.

The Pale Beyond
---------------

It's a kinda resource/survival/choose your own adventure game set on a 
ship on an Arctic expedition trapped in a ice sheet. I like the premise, 
the different elements (that's unusually for me) and the 'serious' 
cartoon graphical style. It all adds up to a foreboding atmosphere.

The problem I'm finding is the whole UI and what you're trying to do 
seems very unintuitive. It's almost as though I've got to the stage 
where I'm just randomly clicking on things to see what happens. I'm 
really at a cross roads of do I go to the internet for some basic help 
or just put it down as maybe not a game for me.

I did think maybe it was a me issue but then I thought, well I've played 
Frost Punk, which has similar elements, and didn't have this issue at all.
