  • Addictive and satisfying gameplay loop involving killing zombies, collecting meat, and upgrading the train, with lots of secrets and exploration.
  • Great atmosphere, art style, sound design, and a unique combination of survival, horror, and roguelite shooter elements.
  • Developer is active and responsive, regularly updating the game with new content, improvements, and features.
  • The game is in early access and can feel incomplete, with some bugs, optimization issues, and occasional unclear mechanics or UI.
  • The daily meat quota and oxygen system create a stressful time constraint that limits exploration and can frustrate players.
  • Some enemies can be frustratingly difficult or cause instant death, and there is a lack of options like saving mid-run or more character/build variety.

    The gameplay is widely praised for its addictive, satisfying, and well-paced loop, bolstered by unique mechanics like the train system and bone ability upgrades. Players appreciate the blend of survival, horror, exploration, and retro shooter elements alongside a richly atmospheric world with strong environmental storytelling. Overall, the mechanics and engaging map design create a fun and immersive experience that remains fresh across multiple runs.

    • “Game loop is very fun, the map is a joy to explore, environmental storytelling for those who pay attention, and the game mechanics themselves play in a way that's very satisfying.”
    • “The whole train mechanic sets it apart from other horde shooters and definitely makes the gameplay loop more engaging.”
    • “The actual gameplay mechanics feel good, shooting is satisfying with the gore gibs and gun feedback, the guns are tiered well and the bone ability upgrades are sweet (the jump->crouch slide with the pelvis bone upgrade is awesome for getting around).”

  • graphics

    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    44% positive mentions, 23% neutral mentions, 33% negative mentions

    The graphics are generally described as simple and reminiscent of late 90s style, fitting well with the game's unique aesthetic and atmosphere. While visually serviceable and thematically appropriate, some users note technical issues like stuttering that impact playability despite decent visuals. Overall, the art style effectively complements the game's mood and enhances the immersive experience.

    • “Graphics are great, sounds are great, story is great and gameplay is awesome!”
    • “This is better than most 'fully released' games of similar aesthetic/budget/genre.”
    • “The map and environments are cool to explore, the atmosphere feels somber and oppressive in a way that reminds me of the original stalker games, especially love the music which fits perfectly for the feeling from the artstyle.”
    • “Even with lowering the graphics settings and having a playable frame rate, the stuttering makes the game unplayable.”
    • “You can expect hilarious late 90s graphics and physics, a scavenger hunt with no handholding, and a game you only get better at by playing more.”
    • “Graphics are simple, but serviceable!”

    • “The atmosphere, gameplay loop, mostly wordless world-building, and awesome map are all fantastic.”

    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    0% positive mentions, 25% neutral mentions, 75% negative mentions

    The game suffers from poor optimization, causing low frame rates and severe stuttering across multiple systems, which significantly hinders playability even at lowered graphics settings. Users express interest in revisiting the game once performance improvements are made.

    • “Great premise, I was excited to put genuine time into this game but it's horribly optimized. I tested on multiple computers and all are running 35 to 50 frames per second with insane stuttering.”
    • “Even with lowering the graphics settings and achieving a playable frame rate, the stuttering makes the game unplayable.”
    • “Will play again once the game is more optimized.”

  • music

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

    The music is highly praised for perfectly complementing the game's somber and oppressive atmosphere, enhancing the immersive experience and matching the art style seamlessly.

    • “The map and environments are cool to explore, the atmosphere feels somber and oppressive in a way that reminds me of the original STALKER games. Especially love the music which fits perfectly with the feeling from the art style.”
    • “Love the music too”

  • humor

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

    The humor in the game is quirky and nostalgic, featuring amusingly janky mechanics like a fast "meat bike" that causes chaotic crashes, along with playful late 90s-style graphics and physics. It offers a unique, offbeat charm that may not appeal to everyone but adds a fun, lighthearted element to the experience.

    • “Furthermore, I personally found this funny but some people may not like it: on day 2 or 3 they gave me a 'meat bike' which was really janky and fast, making me crash into trees and breakdance like a pimp in the mid-80s to 'You Spin Me Right Round' by Dead or Alive.”
    • “You can expect hilarious late 90s graphics and physics, a scavenger hunt with no handholding, and a game you only get better at by playing more.”

  • stability

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

    The game's stability is currently lacking, with frequent glitches and inconsistent functionality causing frustration and unexpected deaths, reflecting its early access status.

  • replayability

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

    The game offers high replayability, with each run progressing players closer to the end goal, and the addition of the gun shop enhances the sense of progression, making subsequent playthroughs engaging. However, it is still a work in progress.

    • “It's definitely still a work in progress, but with where it's at the replayability is insane, with each run getting you closer to the end objective and the gun shop adding a nice touch of progression.”
