What players say
Players describe it as a pixel art homage to Resident Evil with a surprisingly complex story and varied locations, but opinions split on execution: some praise the narrative depth and resource management, while others find the opening overwhelming with disposable characters, the enemies repetitive, and the backtracking tedious.
