How it feels

A tense, side-scrolling survival horror where you scavenge, craft, and stealth through a zombie-infested post-apocalyptic world, with permanent consequences for every decision.

What players say

Players love the This War of Mine-inspired survival loop and 80s zombie atmosphere, but the combat is widely called janky with unavoidable hits and stun locks. Many praise the frequent updates and potential, while split on whether the forced pace from food spoilage hurts the relaxation.
