What is the definition of the title of the game?
Subsistence:
"The action or fact of maintaining or supporting oneself at a minimal level."

Brief game description:

In the game you are placed in a forest with an axe, a gun and a glowstick in your items menu. You have to try to survive in a said forest and avoid altercations with bears, wolves or other dangerous wildlife. When you travel the game you may find some duffel bags that contain supplies.

Tips and tricks
