What players say

Players praise the short but emotional story of two sisters in a zombie apocalypse, noting the game leaves a lasting melancholy especially after the ending. Many agree the 1-2 hour runtime fits the experience well, though some find the zombie designs unsettling and the default key bindings awkward.
