What players say
Players praise the bleak, well-written story and unique world-building, often comparing it to Fear & Hunger. Combat is challenging and avoids random encounters, but some find it repetitive. The game is short, around 10 hours, with an abrupt ending. A minority criticize pacing and excessive dialogue.
