How it feels
You scramble to dig up resources by day and fend off mutant waves by night, with a persistent undercurrent of desperation and the pressure of a single ticking clock.

What players say
Players love the digging and base defense loop, calling it addictive for about 8 to 14 hours. Nearly everyone agrees the later Las Veganos city section is clunky and out of place, with several saying it ruins the fun. A few report a damaging 'unstuck' bug and broken saves. The game is frequently compared to A Game About Digging a Hole, praised as a deeper version of that concept.
