The game's story is widely criticized for being nearly nonexistent, leaving players feeling aimless and disconnected from the experience. While some reviewers see potential for improvement, they emphasize the need for a more developed narrative and clearer direction to enhance engagement. Overall, the lack of a compelling story detracts significantly from the gameplay, with many players expressing a desire for more context and lore.
- “The game has good scare jumps and a very simple story.”
- “Can't wait for the continuation of the story in the next game.”
- “This game has great potential; it would be nice if there was a little bit of context to explain what you're supposed to do and where you're supposed to go, and a little bit of a story would help to be drawn into the game.”
- “Looks good, but has nearly no story or direction and thus, no atmosphere.”
- “There isn't really a story, as the game description itself says: 'only aim is to survive.'”
- “So here's the thing, this wouldn't have been the worst zombie game I've ever played, not by a long shot... but despite looking decent, the game is below bland... the zombies are no challenge, there's no story to be invested in, and you don't have any idea what you're doing.”

- “Its pretty good, it has really smooth mechanics, no game-breaking glitches, and the atmosphere is nice.”
- “Good gameplay mechanics, and overall a very good foundation here.”
- “Overall, amazing gameplay for early access; take your time to make sure you have created a great unique selling point that really sells your game, with immersion, sound design, and some creativity.”
- “It looks interesting, but sadly the gameplay is very weak and janky.”
- “I thought it was interesting finding new places, but there are some gameplay mechanics I hope the dev is intending to improve.”

The atmosphere of the game receives mixed reviews, with some players praising its chilling and immersive qualities, particularly in snowy and ominous settings, while others criticize it for lacking depth and direction. Many appreciate the potential for a great horror experience, noting that the game is still in early access and has room for improvement. Overall, the atmosphere is seen as a strong point, but it requires further development to fully realize its potential.
- “Just finished (I think?) all the content in the game and I must say I was genuinely impressed with the atmosphere of the game. The transition from a foggy open snowy forest to tightly packed tunnels was a great change of pace at the perfect time in my opinion.”
- “Tldr - it's early access, it's rough around the edges and it's clearly missing many intended features but the atmosphere is amazing, the design is simple but beautiful and it's easy to pick up and play. At this moment in time, after you have done exploring, it becomes a zombie hunting game but there is potential there for great things to come.”
- “To summarize, I love the game so far, I love the concept and atmosphere. You're heading in the right direction and while it's rough around the edges and obviously missing many features that you have planned, it's an enjoyable experience and I look forward to seeing what the future brings.”
- “Looks good, but has nearly no story or direction and thus, no atmosphere.”
- “It isn't the best looking; it has bugs and needs a better atmosphere. It doesn't point the player to the places in the game. Some of its guns and tools look glossy or like plastic, and the textures lack variation.”
- “I would remove the cheap jump scares and focus on making a creepy atmosphere.”

Overall, the graphics in the game are well-received, with many players noting that they are above average and visually appealing, often surpassing those of higher-priced titles. While some imagery may feel familiar from other indie games, the visuals contribute to an immersive atmosphere, enhancing the gameplay experience. However, a few users expressed a desire for more graphics settings to customize their experience further.
- “I was really impressed with the graphics actually, it was actually better than some games that sell for more than $15.”
- “Best graphics and very atmospheric game, true horror and chilling!”
- “The visuals and ambiance were nice and it actually got me with a couple jump-scares.”
- “Lastly, I would like to see some more graphics settings.”
- “(Now, I will note I played this game on a MacBook Pro 2020/2021 and am using the Apple Boot Camp Assistant which allows me to run Windows 10 with the ability to get the updates as they come out, not Windows 11 though. I also had every setting for graphics turned off or set to the lowest setting to be able to play the game as best as possible with what I have).”
- “Graphics are above average.”

- “Seems like a pretty decent game; the graphics are good and it runs great, especially for a free-to-play title.”
- “They aren't buggy, and the ones that are present, like the shotgun reload, are dynamic based on how many shells you've emptied. While it's not completely polished, it's certainly not a mess either.”

- “When I first played this (when it was free-to-play), it was unfinished and wildly buggy.”

- “The home screen music is actually amazing, in my opinion.”
- “You could have creepy ambient music playing, or you could just rely on very good ambient effects.”

- “I would like to see the ability to have music while you are in the game, which would also come with another audio-changing option.”
