The gameplay features unique mechanics that can be enjoyable once players acclimate, though some find it rough around the edges. However, significant criticism highlights issues with balance, randomness, and lack of engaging content, leading to a frustrating experience for many. Overall, while some appreciate the potential and fun aspects, others deem the game broken and unpolished, resulting in a divided reception.
“It's got some cool and quite unique mechanics that are a lot of fun once you get used to it. Sometimes a bit rough around the edges, but for the price and amount of content, I can easily forgive that.”
“Super well made, optimized, fun mechanics.”
“This game is absolute garbage. Don't buy it. I played for one hour and it was the biggest waste of time and money in my entire gaming life. The gameplay is broken; the monster is random and unfun to play. The survivors have nothing interesting to do; you just walk around with a flashlight hoping the game does something, but it never does. The monster skills change randomly without warning, you have no control over anything. It's pure RNG and it makes the whole thing feel like a joke. There's no balance at all; sometimes the monster kills everyone in 30 seconds, other times he's completely useless. The maps are empty, the lighting is awful, the graphics look like a free Unity asset pack slapped together in a weekend. The shadows are pointless, the visibility is trash, you can't see anything and you die for no reason. The sound design is a joke; proximity chat is a useless gimmick that just adds echo in random spots and doesn't help the game at all. Weapons and gadgets feel like placeholders; they barely work, nothing has weight or impact. There's no tension, no fear, no atmosphere, just a bunch of disconnected mechanics thrown into a blender and served as a horror game. This isn't horror; this is boredom wrapped in bugs. I can't believe this was released as early access. The dev says it's in a completely playable state, but it's barely functional. This is not a game; it's a mess. You pay money for a project that should be in alpha. The dev promises updates and listens to feedback, but the current state shows zero polish, zero testing, zero care. The monster is boring, the objectives are unclear, the gadgets are useless, the maps all feel the same, the emotes are pointless, and the masks are just lazy cosmetics. I regret every second of this. I want my money back. Don't buy this; don't support this even for a joke. This game is not worth one cent. 1 hour played, 0 enjoyment, 100 regret.”
“Now, some mechanics can feel unintuitive at first, but once you get into it, it's great fun for all.”
“The survivor gameplay has just as much planning and love put into it as the monster gameplay.”
