What players say
Players describe this as a rare mix of survival and horror that hooks them for dozens of hours. The sense of isolation and fear of the unknown is constant, especially when diving deeper. Many praise the base building and progression, but note the lack of a map can be frustrating. Reviews also mention persistent bugs, including a missing autosave that can erase progress.
