How it feels

A tense, oppressive experience of navigating a toxic wasteland and fighting for survival in a bleak, late-stage dystopia.

What players say

Players praise the surreal atmosphere and kinship with Cruelty Squad, but most agree the early access build is riddled with bugs, missing keybind menus, and clunky controls. Combat is harsh and the inventory system confuses newcomers. Longtime James Ferraro fans are more forgiving, others recommend waiting for updates.
