How it feels

a tense mix of managing a survivor camp and venturing into a devastated open world to scavenge and fight

What players say

Players call this an abandoned project with a good concept but terrible execution. The controls and combat are clunky, enemies are overpowered, and the game never received updates after its rushed 2019 release. A few players found fun in it, but most warn to stay away.
