The gameplay is characterized by its colorful and smooth mechanics, offering a fun and addictive experience reminiscent of classic FPS games. Players appreciate the variety of weapons and the fluidity of movement, although some find enemy encounters frustrating at times. New mechanics introduced in later chapters, such as collecting fuel cans, do not significantly alter the core gameplay.
“But the game is easy to play and the mechanics and movements are smooth.”
“And most importantly, the gameplay is fun.”
“It may be so, but there is something that makes this game very addictive - the gameplay is just so fluid and the weapons are easy to use.”
“In chapter 3, you can collect fuel cans to activate generators; however, these new gameplay mechanics do not change the core gameplay at all.”
“Since gameplay mostly consists of running and gunning, it is very much reminiscent of those old school FPS games we used to play.”

“The story is your typical zombie apocalypse where you find yourself alone, but someone calling you on your mobile is willing to help you find an escape.”
“The narrative feels clichéd and lacks originality, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“The character development is shallow, leaving players disconnected from the story and its events.”
