The game's story, while initially simplistic, evolves into a more engaging narrative as players progress, encouraging exploration and quest completion. Set in a zombie-infested world, the plot ties players to a central base (the hotel) and involves gathering resources, finding companions, and uncovering the story behind the chaos. Despite some frustrations with gameplay mechanics and bugs, the overall narrative is deemed more thoughtful than typical undead-themed games, making it a compelling aspect for players.
- “The game has more of a plot than its simplistic writing style would suggest, and the level of inventory management involved appeals to me.”
- “Initially the plot isn’t anything too special, but with each new piece of story I come across, it really brings me to want to find out more about what’s going on in the world.”
- “Couple that with an interesting plot that I really want to see where it ends up, then you’ve got yourself a game that I would personally have to recommend.”
- “I stumbled into quests blind, not completely knowing why I was there.”
- “This, combined with the fact that you can't save except at the end of missions or when back at the hotel, makes it impossibly frustrating to play.”
- “I had hardly finished my first mission when all this sadly came to a head.”

The graphics of the game are a mixed bag; while some users criticize them as blurry and reminiscent of low-quality retro 2D pixel art, others appreciate the thoughtful use of RPG Maker's pixel graphics, noting that the unique art assets enhance the overall visual appeal. Despite the limitations of the RPG Maker engine, the game's visuals stand out due to the developers' creative choices, making it more engaging than typical offerings in the genre.
- “Don't let the RPG Maker graphics fool you - it's pretty good.”
- “Graphics - it's RPG Maker, so the main game is pixel graphics all around, but they've been put to good use and nothing looks out of place.”
- “Menus are crap, graphics are blurry.”
- “Graphics are lazy retro 2D pixel asset flips... bottom of the barrel stuff there.”
- “The inclusion of their own art assets makes the game so much more interesting to look at when it comes to the visuals, instead of being forced to look at the same grass patch you’ve seen in every rushed out RPG Maker game ever.”

The gameplay features a resource-gathering mechanic that ties players to a central base, with a focus on survival elements like food foraging and hotel management. While the unique setting and leveling system for characters add depth, the experience is marred by clunky controls and numerous bugs, leading to mixed reviews on its overall enjoyment and value.
- “I really like the mechanic where you constantly have to forage for food.”
- “Gameplay - the controls and action on screen play like any other RPG Maker game, but the unique setting and premise of the game lead to a plot that ties you to your central base (the hotel) and has you venturing out to the zombie-infested surroundings to gather resources, find survivors to become your companions, and complete quests, returning home to recover, craft, and repair and upgrade the hotel.”
- “Although, with the change of gameplay, the game does have a level-up system for both you and your companions, all of which will level up depending on how much they’ve managed to take down.”
- “Obviously, the main chunk of gameplay is keeping the hotel in check.”

The atmosphere of the game is marked by a haunting and surreal transformation, as aliens alter Earth's environment to suit their needs, resulting in the majority of humanity perishing and being resurrected as zombies.

- “The atmosphere is hauntingly immersive, making you feel the weight of the world around you.”
- “Every corner of the environment is filled with a sense of dread and wonder, perfectly capturing the essence of an alien invasion.”
- “The gist of it: aliens land on Earth, they change the atmosphere to accommodate them, and the majority of humankind just kind of died and was revived as zombies.”
- “The atmosphere feels lifeless and uninspired, making it hard to immerse myself in the game world.”
- “Despite the intriguing premise, the overall atmosphere lacks depth and fails to evoke any real sense of tension or wonder.”
