How it feels

A tense, unforgiving struggle to lead a ragtag group through zombie-infested ruins, where every decision and random event can mean life or death.

What players say

Players say this zombie survival roguelike starts with promise but quickly becomes repetitive, with shallow AI and unbalanced mechanics. Long-time reviewers describe it as a project stuck in early access, though a few note the low price and respect the solo developer's effort.
