How it feels

A tense, grim retro FPS with a gritty, brown aesthetic that feels like exploring a claustrophobic, post-disaster wasteland while fending off grotesque intruders.

What players say

Players praise the unique Czechoslovak communist setting and absurd humor but are divided on the gameplay. Some love the Quake-like movement and rewarding secrets, while others say the weapons feel weak with too much spread and enemies become bullet sponges on higher difficulties.
