    • “Fantastic retro style shooter, it's a simple straightforward game with fun but challenging gameplay and multiple paths to take through the level allowing you to change your approach depending on which level or area you are in. It's a lot of fun if you don't mind low poly graphics and no story; also, don't forget to check your graphics settings because they don't start at maximum, but it looks really good.”
    • “The graphics and pure ambience just completely sell you on the absolute horror of the reveal: the AI also acts just like a human player to the point where I still fear for my life.”
    • “The graphics and animations are rudimentary, but they fit the aesthetic of a late 90s FPS like Quake perfectly.”
    • “The graphics look old and many will think they are ugly.”
    • “Graphics (really bad... Minecraft has better graphics, in my opinion).”
    • “Terrible graphics for an FPS game in 2020; the enemies are broken, killing you in 3 shots, while they are still standing after you unload a clip into them.”

    • “The game is quite obviously unfinished, which is no fault of its own, and has some really weird and clunky mechanics and happenings.”

    • “At this point, I was playing with one of my friends in hard mode co-op and we got to the first boss fight, which is shown in the trailer, but found it hard to finish it due to the map stuttering. When the boss jumps at you, even if you dodge, sometimes the lag moves you behind just enough for the boss to hit you.”
