The game offers a very atmospheric and immersive horror zombie experience with good lighting, graphics, and detailed environmental storytelling.
Weapons are fun to use, particularly rifles and shotguns with satisfying blood splatter effects, along with enjoyable climbing mechanics and locomotion.
The developers are actively working on patches and improvements, showing potential for growth and added features such as better voice acting, controls, and gameplay tweaks.

Frequent bugs and glitches such as clipping through objects, random item dropping, weapon durability issues, and a confusing or missing in-game menu hamper gameplay and progression.
Combat mechanics suffer from poor weapon handling, overly fragile melee weapons that break quickly, problematic grenade mechanics, and an awkward reload system.
Lack of features like seated mode, crouch button, better control options, and more varied and developed story or mission design result in repetitive gameplay primarily set in similar corridor environments.

The story is widely viewed as underdeveloped and minimal, with repetitive environments and little narrative depth, relying mostly on gameplay rather than storytelling. Some users suggest enhancing environmental storytelling through visual cues like corpses and blood trails to add interest. Additionally, progress issues and weak voice acting detract from the overall experience.
- “The darkness and environmental storytelling would reduce complaints about areas looking too similar.”
- “Game has a campy, but fun story.”
- “Also needs more storytelling through corpses, blood trails, and objects lying around the bodies.”
- “This game is the same thing from start to finish, corridors after corridors and nothing else at all, voice acting is laughable, 0 scenario/story or at the very least the tiny we have is absolutely not developed one bit, it's guns only, melee breaks in 2-3 hits after a few stages no matter the weapon, there's grenades you can find but you cannot keep them on your belt and they eventually blow up on their own in your hand, crawling zombies literally fly on upper floors to reach you, painful green flash when you heal, 4 guns total in the whole game.”
- “What happened is that I could not progress the story, no matter what I tried.”
- “Well, this story has been said many times about VR early access games.”

The gameplay is immersive when standing but presents discomfort and usability issues during seated play, particularly with the belt inventory system. Some features seen in demos, like door interactions, may not be present in the full game, affecting overall experience.
- “The belt inventory system is very immersive when standing, but it's difficult to use while seated. You might accidentally hit yourself trying to grab items quickly or struggle to view the belt clearly.”
- “I never figured out what the little inventory box was for; it would be helpful to know if you could store grenades or additional items there.”
- “No height setting for seated gameplay.”
- “The belt inventory sucks for seated gameplay. It's very immersive if standing but a pain to use when seated; you will punch yourself trying to grab stuff quickly or strain your chin trying to look at the belt and the little box whose purpose is unclear.”
- “I saw a gameplay where a door opened and you could get out, but that didn't happen in my game (though that was the demo version).”
