The game is a unique and engaging zombie outbreak simulator that allows players to watch the chaos unfold, providing a satisfying experience for fans of the genre.
The developer is highly active, consistently releasing updates that improve gameplay and add new features, showing a strong commitment to the game's growth.
The game has a lot of potential with its modular design and customization options, making it a fun and interesting experience for players who enjoy simulation games.

The game can become repetitive after a while, with limited content currently available, which may affect long-term replayability.
Some AI behaviors are inconsistent, leading to moments where zombies or civilians do not react logically to the unfolding chaos, which can detract from immersion.
While the game is promising, it still feels barebones in certain areas, and players may find it lacking in depth until more features are added.

The game's graphics feature a nostalgic retro aesthetic reminiscent of 80s and 90s terminal systems, which is well-executed and polished, particularly in the introductory sequences. While the presentation is simple, it effectively supports a large-scale simulation of up to ten thousand characters, though some players may experience eye strain due to the visual style. Overall, the graphics contribute positively to the game's unique concept and charm.

- “This game is well made; it's an interesting concept, and I adore the 80's style graphics.”
- “Just be prepared for some eye strain with the visuals.”
- “Graphically reminds me of old terminal-based systems from the 80s/90s - but with a modern twist.”
- “Though the graphics and presentation are simple, the scale of the simulation impressed me; up to ten thousand people can be simulated in the city.”

The story aspect is seen as a promising foundation, though it currently lacks depth in NPC reactivity and character goals, with civilians primarily focused on survival rather than engaging in more dynamic behaviors. Reviewers express hope that future updates could enhance the narrative experience significantly.
- “The story is engaging and keeps you invested in the characters and their struggles throughout the game.”
- “I was pleasantly surprised by the depth of the narrative; it really adds to the overall experience.”
- “The plot twists and character development are well-crafted, making each moment feel impactful.”
- “While it's not quite to the level of NPC reactivity and storytelling I have in mind (civilians have no real goal other than to hide in a building, poorly defend said building, and die or disperse when the zombies get in; yes, some should stick with this, but others should have simple goals or do more to ensure survival), I feel this is a really good foundation for something really, really great if the dev decides to keep at it with updates and features.”
