The gameplay is criticized for its limited mechanics, primarily involving scavenging through cars and trash cans or begging for help, which often yields little to no results. Players quickly find that after a brief period of exploration, there is little else to engage with, reducing the experience to mere survival without meaningful progression or variety. Overall, the gameplay feels repetitive and lacking in depth.
“The gameplay mechanics involve searching through cars and trash cans and begging for help, but these methods often yield little success as the trash cans and cars are usually empty, and people tend to respond with laughter or even aggression.”
“After a brief adjustment period to the mechanics, I found that I had quickly exhausted the available activities in the game, leaving me with little more to do than focus on survival.”
“The gameplay offers a unique challenge, but it can feel limited as players may find themselves repeating the same actions without discovering new content.”
“Let me explain, there are 2 main mechanics for getting the supplies you need: looking through cars and trash cans, and begging people. Both of these methods are unlikely to yield anything since the trash cans and cars are usually empty. If you ask for help, people will often just laugh at you and walk away, or even beat you up.”
“After 5 minutes of getting used to the mechanics, I walked around to look for anything else to do, and that's when I realized that I've basically done everything there is to do in the game. There's nothing else to do but just survive.”
“Gameplay: 6/10”
