How it feels

A tense survival experience navigating desolate, abandoned zones while hunted by infected mutants.

What players say

Players praise the combat and enemy AI but are split on the game's future. Many complain about severe texture pop-in and audio issues, while others report that updates have stalled and the developer seems unresponsive. The core loop is fun but repetitive early on, and the large map requires building multiple bases.
