The game's story is minimal, with a focus primarily on combat and gameplay mechanics rather than narrative depth. Players navigate procedurally generated missions, earning rewards to enhance their character and arsenal, but many reviewers noted a lack of engaging storytelling elements, leading to a repetitive experience. Overall, the absence of a compelling narrative detracts from the overall enjoyment of the game.

“You start off in your hub zone, where you can prepare for missions.”
“Completing missions earns you rewards and currency that can be used to upgrade and expand your arsenal with new weapons, weapon attachments, and upgrades to your character and cybernetics.”
“The zombies have a telepathic reach on their swings and combat feels clunky, which kind of sucks in a game with literally only combat and zero story.”
“It's like they made the Quest 3 version and just threw it up on the PCVR store: terrible quotes, no music, bad graphics, and one sound effect for every hit regardless if it's a gun, sword, or hands.”
“The graphics look like a Quest game and the player model doesn't look like it belongs at all.”

The music in the game is described as a gritty, futuristic soundtrack that enhances the cyberpunk atmosphere, but there are significant complaints about audio quality, including low volume and lack of variety in sound effects.

“From the neon-soaked environments to the gritty, futuristic soundtrack, the entire experience feels like stepping into a cyberpunk world.”
“I like the game’s concept, music, and graphic style.”
“The game is fun, and I love cyberpunk-style games, but I don't know if it's my game or not. The audio is quiet, like there's no music or sounds. I kept getting jump-scared since I can't hear the zombies coming up to me. The pistol is very quiet; it's fun but needs some more quality of life improvements.”
“It's like they made the Quest 3 version and just threw it up on the PCVR store. Terrible quotes, no music, bad graphics, and one sound effect for every hit, regardless if it's a gun, sword, or hands.”
