How it feels

A frantic, visceral first-person survival experience where you scramble across rooftops and slash through hordes of zombies in a decaying open world.

What players say

Players love the parkour and the way night turns the game into a tense survival horror chase. Co-op is a highlight, with many recommending it for the shared chaos. The day and night cycle creates two distinct experiences, and while the story is considered serviceable, the gameplay keeps players hooked.
