How it feels

A grim, alternate-history first-person shooter where you slog through endless trench warfare with a persistent sense of desperation and decay.

What players say

Players praise the cold, dirty atmosphere and alternate history where WWI never ended, but warn the game is rough and often frustrating. Expect heavy backtracking, instant death from headshots, and difficulty spikes that may require a guide. The game also fails to record playtime on Steam without a workaround.
