The game is currently experiencing significant stability issues, including frequent crashes, glitches, and bugs that affect gameplay, particularly in co-op mode.

Overall, users recommend waiting for further updates to address these stability concerns.

- “Crashes a lot; don't buy it just yet. Since the new update, the game is so buggy I can't get over the fact that when I last played it before the update, it would crash on me.”
- “In co-op mode, sometimes you bag the bodies, but it glitches out and either the body disappears or you bag it, but the body doesn't actually get bagged.”

The game's story aspect is currently minimal, with players expressing a desire for more narrative elements to enhance engagement, such as additional goals, news broadcasts, and character interactions. While the gameplay fosters a sense of improvisation and teamwork, the lack of a substantial storyline leaves players wanting more depth and context to their experiences.
- “I'm enjoying it; I hope on final release there will be more story to it, like more news broadcasts and warnings, a radio, staff that could do checkout or cleaning, and upgrades that help with timed tasks. As someone else mentioned, building options for walls and doors, and perhaps grants for zombies killed!”
- “The need to coordinate under pressure gives the hospital a lived-in, improvisational energy; every shift becomes a story of triumph or disaster crafted through teamwork.”
- “However (no spoilers), after it happened, the story kind of ended.”
- “Needs a little tweaking to make players want to come back and play, such as goals or a story.”
- “However (no spoilers) after it happened the story kind of ended.”

This blend of triage and survival enhances the tension and stakes, immersing players in a high-pressure environment.
- “This first-person blend of triage and survival gives the atmosphere a sense of immediacy that top-down hospital sims don’t attempt, and it also makes small mistakes — forgetting to restock bandages, misdiagnosing a symptom, overlooking a faulty generator — spiral into life-or-death consequences.”
