The gameplay is characterized by unique mechanics such as map exploration and resource collection, which some players find enjoyable, especially for fans of vampire-survivor games. However, many reviewers criticize the game's short overall playtime, with some claiming it can be completed in as little as 23 minutes, leading to dissatisfaction regarding its value and depth. While the core gameplay loop is considered fun, the limited content and repetitive nature detract from the overall experience.
“Mechanics like exploring the map and collecting resources were a big plus that gave this game a certain uniqueness.”
“100% worth the price if you're into vampire-survivor-likes with a sprinkling of extra mechanics.”
“I would expect about 10-15 hours of gameplay to see everything this game has to offer and unlock all of the characters, their special abilities, and weapons.”
“It makes very annoying gameplay without a controller, which is supported - so I guess it's nice.”
“The same and unique map; if you manage to survive the 10 days, you have played 100% of the game... so gameplay is literally 23 minutes, lmao. Only characters and difficulty mode will change, nothing else. This game deserves way worse than 'mixed'.”
“Actually no, I don't want to help, someone who tried to sell me his 23-minute gameplay game for $10, even though I would be happy to pay twice this price if it was way more pleasant to continue to play.”

The game currently offers limited replayability due to having only one map, but players appreciate the depth provided by the skill tree and various characters, making it still worth the price. Overall, while it feels somewhat barebones, the potential for diverse gameplay experiences exists.
“Only one map, however a lot of replayability with the skill tree and different characters.”
“Feels a bit barebones at the moment in terms of replayability, but certainly worth the asking price.”
“Only one map; however, there is a lot of replayability with the skill tree and different characters.”

Players appreciate the relaxing farming aspect of the game, but feel that the limited time between night cycles restricts their ability to gather enough materials for upgrades, often resulting in only one upgrade per cycle. The balance between farming and nighttime zombie combat adds a layer of challenge, but can feel constraining.
“I like the farming component, but you don't have that much time between nights; I usually gather enough materials for one upgrade.”
“The game has relaxing mindless farming, but the grinding aspect feels tedious as you constantly have to gather resources with little reward.”
“The limited time between nights makes the grinding feel more like a chore than an enjoyable part of the game.”
