The gameplay is currently minimal and largely incomplete, consisting mostly of limited movement and exploration within a small area, with few interactive mechanics. Many users find it buggy, rushed, and lacking substantial content, suggesting it feels more like an early tech demo than a full game. Interest lies mainly in the game's potential and story, but most recommend waiting for more development before engaging.
- “With play mechanics like Baldur's Gate and a world setting like Fallout 1 & 2, my gameplay experience leaves me excited for this game.”
- “Gameplay consists of limping around a small medical area of a bunker, with a couple of highlightable items including those inside slightly opened cupboards and sliding doors.”
- “Though very little gameplay to speak of, the idea and story are very interesting; only buy if you're looking to take a leap of faith or maybe wait until a sale.”
- “Sadly, it turned out to be a half-arsed tech demo in Unity, buggy and incomplete, with some ingenious mechanics but overall rushed.”
- “There is 12 minutes of gameplay in total, and apparently the creator took the money and ran.”
- “I'm not quick to judge and do enjoy early access titles, but I have started this game multiple times in the last 2 years and while bits and pieces change, it mainly remains the same 10 minutes of gameplay that it's always been.”

The story is generally seen as promising and interesting, especially at the game's initial release, with elements like a non-linear narrative and multiple endings. However, some users feel the game feels unfinished and lacks depth, resembling more of a tech demo than a fully developed RPG. Overall, the story may appeal to those willing to take a chance, but others recommend waiting for further development or discounts.
- “This game has good-looking level design and an interesting story.”
- “Though there is very little gameplay to speak of, the idea and story are very interesting; only buy if you're looking to take a leap of faith or maybe wait until a sale.”
- “The intro cinematic and story, along with the graphic novel, gripped me.”
- “Any positive reviews are based upon its initial release because this was a very promising game and storyline, but the developer decided to take our money and run. If Steam won't give me my money back, I will be taking this to consumer affairs.”
- “This 'RPG' with 'non-linear story' that has 'multiple branchings and endings' where I can 'explore the devastated ruins of the dead planet' is misleading.”
- “It's clumsy; you can only just make a 'character' before getting into your first mission: 'wake up and pick up a medikit' – but you can't pick it up because it's blocked.”
