The game's story is widely criticized for its complete lack of narrative, with players noting the absence of context for the zombie outbreak and repetitive environments. Many reviewers rated the story as a 0/10, expressing a strong desire for a more engaging and meaningful plot.
“Story: There is none, no reason why there are zombies, there is one location that repeated 3 times (in my playthrough) and the zombie models are all the same.”
“Story: 0/10 (could use a story, instead of dropping us in, pants or not, with no reason to kill other than zombies)”

The music aspect of the game has been criticized for its lack of background music and variety in sound effects, with users noting that the audio experience feels bare-bones and repetitive. Reviewers suggest that enhancing the music and sound effects could significantly improve the overall atmosphere and enjoyment of the game.
“I think if the dev put more effort into this, more work, more weapons... props, zombie models, sfx, music... and just added some better shading, this game could become something amazing.”
“SFX: same sounds, no music in the background (not that I heard), guns all sound the same, guns sound smooth though, zombies do the same 1 or 2 lines of SFX that they have when they are hurt, same idle and walking sounds, no bullet impact sounds on walls or floors/ceilings, etc. just bare bones.”
“Sounds: 4/10 (needs more SFX and music)”

The gameplay is primarily focused on shooting zombies, featuring basic mechanics where aiming for the head is key to defeating them. While it is enjoyable, it lacks uniqueness and suffers from some technical issues, such as zombies getting stuck on objects. Overall, it is a straightforward shooter experience rated around 6/10.
“The gameplay itself is fun but not unique in any way since it comes with the engine the game is made on.”
“Gameplay: 6/10 (it is a basic shooter, weapons react like you expect - but zombies do get stuck in the air and on other corpses, so that leaves something to be desired).”
“General gameplay: it is shooting zombies, not much more to say... aim for the face, they die, the end.”
