The gameplay has received mixed reviews, with some players finding it simple yet enjoyable, particularly praising the gun mechanics. However, many criticize it for being clunky and suggest improvements, such as enhancing gore mechanics and addressing the issue of enemies being overly resilient to damage. Overall, the gameplay experience appears to be lacking in polish and balance.
- “The gameplay, as I said before, is pretty simple, but what actually surprised me was the way the guns handle.”
- “Fun gameplay.”
- “The worst part is the gameplay.”
- “Clunky gameplay.”
- “Hopefully when the game does get the next update, the gore mechanics are a bit more intense, but also reduce the bullet sponge issue. Sure, a few hits to the chest is one thing, but since they're undead and survive bullet shots to the chest, just shoot for the head and boom, one shot, one kill.”

The music in the game is minimal, with no accompanying soundtrack during gameplay, which enhances the tension and allows players to remain alert to zombie threats.

- “The regular zombies' moans and shuffles are well produced, and while the soundtrack could have used a little more creepiness, it does its job.”
- “Matt is a talented musician, so when I learned he'd be working on a game, I was excited to see how his creativity would flow.”
- “The regular zombies' moans and shuffles are well produced, but the soundtrack could have used a little more creepiness; it does its job.”
- “There is no accompanying soundtrack, but that is probably for the better as you need to be on your toes at all times, lest you be attacked from behind by a sneaky zombie.”
