How it feels

You navigate the eerie, tense silence of the Chornobyl Exclusion Zone, searching for safety in abandoned ruins while testing your survival skills against lurking threats.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short walking shooter that takes around 15 to 20 minutes to complete. There are very few enemies, almost no challenge, and apparently no ability to aim down sights, which is seen as a downgrade from the developer's previous game.
