The gameplay features enjoyable mechanics and a solid survival loop involving resource management and combat, but it suffers from a significant drawback: the absence of a saving system. While players appreciate the fun elements and basic survival aspects, many feel the current content is limited, resembling more of a demo than a fully fleshed-out experience.
“It has a lot of really fun mechanics.”
“I can tell there's a gameplay loop.”
“The current gameplay loop consists of: leave the bunker, stab a few zombies, pick up some loot, and hot foot it back to the bunker to sell or scrap the loot (or keep it if it's good enough).”
“Confusing mechanics but has basic survival elements down like food, thirst, health, and enemy detection.”
“There is not much to do currently, more of a demo of some of the mechanics.”

The game's simplistic art style allows for smooth performance on lower-end PCs, but players feel that some looted items could benefit from more detail or descriptive elements when interacted with.
“The simplistic art style allows for smooth performance on my limited power PC, but I would suggest adding more detail or descriptions to some of the looted items when hovering over them.”
“The simplistic art style does make for some easy running on the headset with my somewhat limited power PC, but I would suggest giving some of the looted items a bit more detail or a description when hovering your hand over them.”
