  • Engaging open-world VR survival shooter with satisfying gunplay and weapon customization.
  • Atmospheric environment combining wasteland exploration with creepy, claustrophobic dungeons; strong Fallout and Into the Radius influences.
  • Impressive achievement for a solo developer with frequent updates, good performance, and a loyal, supportive community.
  • Early Access state shows many rough edges including barebones graphics outside bunkers, limited enemy variety and sparse map points of interest.
  • Gun reloading mechanics and hand interactions can be awkward, causing immersion breaks and gameplay frustration.
  • The game lacks some quality-of-life features such as better mission guidance, more detailed item descriptions, improved inventory management, and better melee combat.
  • story

    The story is currently basic and minimal, centered mainly on surviving a year in a wasteland, with limited narrative depth and mission variety mostly involving fetch quests and exploration. While the setting and monster designs show strong potential for a deeper, more engaging story, the early release stage results in an open world that can feel empty and missions that sometimes lack clarity. Overall, players focus more on gameplay and survival than the story, which could improve with future development.

    • “The monster designs are more twisted to reflect a real creature warped by radiation and wasteland magic with elements of Into the Radius, but it also has the old world gaming storytelling narrative.”
    • “The setting and story that is present has a lot of potential; it has the chance to be a very deep and amazing story should it be done right.”
    • “The world is open from the word go; the only things that are locked are the dungeons dotting the land and those open up as you progress and complete missions to level up.”
    • “I selected my missions on the board, nothing happened... picked up my weapons... nothing... poked around... nothing.”
    • “Not only is there little to do other than a few fetch quests with lots of walking, but after returning and going out again enemies and loot do not respawn, making the map feel even more empty.”
    • “Not much to the story other than you need to survive a whole year in the game and that's about it.”

    The gameplay offers a beautiful open world with diverse areas to explore, enjoyable missions, and realistic gun mechanics like recoil and handling, enhanced by helpful companions such as a robot. While some technical issues like crashes and minor jank exist, the core gameplay feels smooth and promising, providing a solid foundation for a compelling survival looting experience.

    • “Beautiful open world with many areas to explore and new weapons to use. One of my favorites is the Hunter, a bolt-action rifle that does a lot of damage, great for early and mid-game. Realistic experience with good gun mechanics like recoil, aiming, and handling. Missions are fun, and quests are integrated into exploration. Bonus: you also get a robot to help you in the wasteland.”
    • “Good gameplay, solid weapons, easy interfaces, and easy-to-understand goals and objectives.”
    • “There's some jank to the gameplay, but it mostly feels smooth and polished, especially for an early access game.”
    • “The game crashes after a few minutes of gameplay.”
    • “The gameplay is definitely very ITR2-ish with an overcoat of the Fallout franchise for flavor.”
    • “Overall the game in its current state has the bones for something great and even now in its early state provides a decent amount of gameplay for those who are interested in these types of survival looting games but later on this game can really become something special.”

    The atmosphere is highly praised for its creepy, immersive dungeon design and tense vibe, effectively setting player expectations. While the dungeons excel in creating a strong mood, the overworld atmosphere is noted as less intense but still maintains a sense of danger. Overall, the game's atmosphere is considered a standout feature.

    • “The guns and gunplay are very nice and the acid wet green labyrinth leading to the main player area is creepy and atmospheric, setting my expectations for the rest of the game.”
    • “So the atmosphere is spot on in dungeons, less so in the overworld, but it's still dangerous and you can usually see what's coming and either confront or avoid to save resources.”
    • “Atmosphere and vibe are definitely a strong point.”
  • graphics

    The graphics are generally described as good with impressive lighting and smooth animations, enhancing the overall experience, though they are not considered top-tier compared to leading titles like Half-Life: Alyx. Performance is praised for being solid, contributing to enjoyable gameplay and immersive environments.

    • “Performance is great and the game looks very nice graphically, animations are smooth and the physics feel really great.”
    • “The graphics are very good, the lighting looks amazing in the wasteland, the gunplay is satisfying, and there are new enemy types like a giant worm and deathclaw things that have a mouth for a head.”
    • “Graphics could be something better but the game is very fun, your robot companion, the gunplay and so on is all fun.”
    • “Graphics are okay but nothing on the level of Alyx even on ultra settings.”

    • “Great music with excellent customization settings.”
