  • Excellent, immersive atmosphere with outstanding sound design that heightens tension and horror.
  • Satisfying and realistic gunplay mechanics including manual reloading, weapon jamming, and inventory management that add depth to gameplay.
  • Well-designed level environments combining claustrophobic indoor settings and semi-open areas, with rewarding exploration and a variety of enemy types.
  • Game is quite short with only two chapters, leaving many players wanting more content and a more satisfying ending.
  • Several bugs and glitches persist, including map issues, weapon disappearance, quest progression blockers, and occasional visual problems.
  • Enemy AI and game difficulty can be frustrating, particularly with aggressive enemies that never stop chasing and scarce resources, making some encounters feel unfair or tedious.

  • gameplay

    32 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    53% positive mentions, 38% neutral mentions, 9% negative mentions

    The gameplay offers a satisfying blend of light puzzle-solving, inventory management, and immersive gun mechanics like weapon jamming and manual reloads, enhancing the survival horror experience. Smooth controls, optional challenge settings, and features like bicycle travel and weapon upgrades add depth, though some find the game too short. Overall, it’s praised for engaging mechanics, atmosphere, and smooth performance despite minor bugs.

    • “Love how immersive the mechanics are with semi-realistic reloads, weapon jamming, physical map, limited inventory, and so on.”
    • “I highly recommend it if you're a fan of dark and eerie corridors, claustrophobic combat, dreadful horror, and decently realistic gun mechanics such as live jams and manual ejection of rounds for certain guns that I will not spoil.”
    • “Simply fun gameplay with an interesting story so far!”
    • “The weapon mechanics were a little frustrating at first.”
    • “By the time I was really getting into the atmosphere and mechanics, the game was already over.”
    • “I just wish the game had a lean mechanic.”

  • atmosphere

    28 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    57% positive mentions, 32% neutral mentions, 11% negative mentions

    The game is widely praised for its exceptional and immersive atmosphere, characterized by eerie sound design, oppressive level design, and a strong sense of dread that deeply enhances the survival horror experience. Many reviewers highlight how the atmosphere keeps them engaged and on edge throughout, often citing it as one of the game's standout features.

    • “Some of the best atmosphere I have ever experienced in a horror game.”
    • “Atmosphere of the game is excellent - a subdued soundtrack complements the game's soundscape and level design, which evokes a good sense of dread throughout, with some particularly excellent areas.”
    • “The atmosphere is incredible and completely drew me in.”
    • “By the time I was really getting into the atmosphere and mechanics, the game was already over.”
    • “Nails the atmosphere really well, the early college level feels oppressive until you start to gather resources and crack some skulls.”
    • “The atmosphere gave me strong Half-Life 2 vibes.”

  • story

    21 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    24% positive mentions, 62% neutral mentions, 14% negative mentions

    The story is generally described as straightforward, basic, and somewhat lacking in depth or emotional impact, with some players noting unresolved plot points and minimal world-building. While it provides a clear premise and complements the gameplay, many feel it could benefit from more detailed storytelling and character development. Overall, the story serves its purpose but is not the main draw of the game.

    • “The story is good, I quite enjoyed the open exploration section.”
    • “Love the style, atmosphere and story!”
    • “Simply fun gameplay with an interesting story so far!”
    • “Basic story that left little emotional impact.”
    • “I just wish it had a stronger storyline. The game doesn't even explain what makes people turn into zombies at any point, so the ending is quite lacking as you don't even know what happened to Valeria (no bite marks, the house is clean, no signs of a fight with a zombie that might have gone through).”
    • “The only things keeping this game from being better are the short length of the game and the practically non-existent predictable story.”

  • graphics

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The graphics feature a retro, low-poly art style that evokes classic horror games and enhances the atmosphere, creating high tension despite lacking ultra-realism. While some players prefer more realistic visuals, many appreciate the unique aesthetic and how it complements the gameplay and setting. Overall, the nostalgic graphics effectively contribute to the game's mood and appeal.

    • “Awesome throwback graphics and overall aesthetic.”
    • “Despite the low resolution graphics, or maybe because of it, the atmosphere was on point and really set your tension high and nerves on edge, especially when the game forces you into close quarters.”
    • “Combining retro graphics with modern gameplay mechanics was handled brilliantly.”
    • “Not a fan of the art style. I would rather have ultra-realism that uses my PC's hardware than low-poly PS2-style graphics, especially in first-person.”
    • “Despite the low-resolution graphics, or maybe because of it, the atmosphere was on point and really set the tension high and nerves on edge, especially when the game forces you into close quarters.”
    • “The graphics are retro, which may not appeal to everyone who prefers modern visuals.”

  • stability

    7 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 100% negative mentions

    The game exhibits several bugs and glitches, including visual issues, audio looping problems, and map malfunctions that hinder gameplay. While these stability issues are notable, many players anticipate fixes in future updates as the game is still newly released.

    • “There's a lot to like about this game, but I could not recommend it in its current state due to how buggy it is.”
    • “Kinda buggy in places, the map broke beyond getting out of the initial apartment block; it turned upside down and my arrow no longer matched my position on the map.”
    • “I did run into occasional minor audio glitches - occasionally a sound effect would loop for several seconds, cutting out everything else in the soundscape until it ended and everything played at once.”

  • music

    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is subtle yet beautiful, effectively complementing the retro art style and enhancing the atmospheric sense of dread throughout the levels. Overall, it is highly praised for contributing to the immersive experience.

    • “The art style is that retro kind that everybody loves, and the music, though subtle, is beautiful.”
    • “Music: very good.”
