You struggle to survive a war as civilians, scavenging by day and making heartbreaking choices at night in a bleak, tense atmosphere.

What players say

Players call it a raw survival game that forces hard moral choices, like whether to steal from or harm other civilians. Some report persistent startup crashes that never got fixed. Others note the lack of a combat tutorial can lead to frustrating deaths.
