What players say

Players say Necrosis is a janky co-op survival horror that channels classic Resident Evil, with lots of content and a very active developer who updates constantly. It is challenging to the point of frustration, and the puzzles can be repetitive, but co-op teamwork and character synergies keep it fun.
