The game's story is criticized for its lack of depth and balance, with some players noting that it can be completed in about 120 minutes and features punishing mechanics that detract from the experience. While there are elements of survival and decision-making, the execution leaves much to be desired, leading some to recommend alternative games for a more engaging narrative experience.
“Interesting combo of survival with story and choices.”
“Those who enjoy peeling back a story while fighting an environment that is unforgiving should like it.”
“The lack of story is evident; it takes only about 120 minutes to reach the end if you go straight through. The cutscenes are just text, and they can instantly kill you if you don't know the exact decisions to make, which is severely punishing. I would recommend playing Neo Scavenger instead; it's much better and worth your money more than this current garbage.”
“In order to save the game at the first village, I have to escape the cave, but the quest doesn't appear unless I try fighting the mutant - which is a death wish.”
“Running away prevents the next quest from opening up.”
