How it feels

Managing resources and battling zombies in a turn-based card game with a survival horror narrative.

What players say

Players say the game relies too much on luck, with runs decided by random card drops rather than skill. It is fun for a short while but quickly becomes punishing, especially during the final chapters where a single unlucky draw can end the run.
