How it feels

a tense, atmospheric survival shooter set in a dark, war-torn futuristic world where crafting and loot drive your fight against alien and mutated threats

What players say

Players are sharply split: many feel cheated when the developer moved the game to a new Steam page and only offered free keys to the new version during a short window, leaving owners of the original locked out of updates. A smaller group enjoys the game itself but condemns the handling of the transition.
