How it feels

a tense, grimy trek through a zombie apocalypse where every resource and crew decision carries weight and permadeath keeps you on edge.

What players say

Players compare it to FTL but find it much shallower, with most saying only the map screen is similar. The combat is often called clunky and the game feels repetitive after a few hours, though some enjoy the narrative and random events.
