Free VR zombie shooter with decent graphics and atmosphere, providing some creepy and immersive moments.
Simple and effective gameplay that works well as an introduction to VR shooters, keeping players entertained for a short duration.
Includes both story and survival modes with a decent foundation and potential for future content and improvements.

The game suffers from numerous bugs and technical issues including spawning glitches, unresponsive controls, and frame rate drops.
Lack of game options, limited weapon variety, poor gun mechanics, and simplistic enemy behavior make gameplay feel repetitive and shallow.
Movement and locomotion are very limited or absent, causing frustration and discomfort; the game feels incomplete and unpolished with little content.

The story mode is short and simple, featuring basic cutscenes and on-rails gameplay, but many find it frustrating due to overwhelming zombie waves and lack of checkpoints. While the narrative is minimal and leaves many elements unexplored, players appreciate the immersive atmosphere and hope for expanded storytelling and improvements in future updates.
- “And I really want to see the story expanded on; you know, tell us about who that girl is, what's up with this apparent AI that controls people and turns them into zombies, etc. That being said, I definitely enjoyed this game and I'm looking forward to more VR experiences like it in the future.”
- “Omg brilliant game (the story mode of course). The on-rail shooter part was a great experience, the zombies' eyes, the darkness, the zombies' animation - great game.”
- “This game has a simple and short storyline, but it took me nearly two hours of total playtime to complete it.”
- “The story mode is impossible to play because you have too many zombies to kill before you reach the next point of story.”
- “The story starts with a horde of zombies; the NPC stuns the leftover zombies, then drags you to a location very near the starting point. The leftover zombies break their stun and attack you again, causing you to die.”
- “There's very little actual story, just some quick cut scenes and then waves of zombies make a beeline for you.”

The gameplay is criticized for being overly simple and lacking variety, particularly with limited enemy types and basic mechanics like a one-button reload system. While the controls are straightforward, the game could benefit from more complex features to enhance engagement and make better use of VR capabilities.
- “And types of enemies would make the gameplay more varied and keep players at it for longer.”
- “The mechanics and controls are simple, but if you forget to watch your back it won't take long for the dead to sneak up on you.”
- “One of the coolest features of the VR tracked controllers is the weapon mechanics, and this game wastes it with a one-button reload system.”
- “Mind you, a bit too simple; not just in gameplay, but design as well.”
- “Competition sounds fun but I'd love to see some more complicated mechanics in it.”

The graphics receive mixed feedback, with some users praising the atmospheric quality and noting they are impressive for a free game, while others criticize the visuals as outdated and lacking polish. There is also a call for improved graphics settings and mod support to enhance the visual experience.
- “The graphics are really good for a free game.”
- “Very atmospheric and great graphics.”
- “Graphics are really good.”
- “Maybe have mods and work on the game's graphics, please.”
- “The best I got was using an old build (beta/old school). I was able to spawn normally with my gun and hands, but I couldn't select anything or do anything. The only thing I could do was aim my gun, but even then the gun angle isn't right—you have to bend your hand to make the gun look straight. Pretty bad game graphics, not great for the time we're in right now.”
- “Need an options menu for graphics and sound.”
