The game offers a solid Resident Evil-inspired survival horror experience with a unique blend of Saw-style trials and puzzles that keep players engaged.
Gameplay features multiple camera options and control schemes, including fixed camera, over-the-shoulder, tank controls, and first-person aiming, allowing players to customize their playstyle.
Fully voiced dialogue, decent graphics for an indie title, and satisfying shooting mechanics, especially with weapons like the shotgun, add to the overall immersion and enjoyment.

The game is buggy with issues such as controller input problems, awkward animations, subtitles glitches, and some UI elements not optimized for gamepad or keyboard/mouse.
Zombie AI is inconsistent, often slow and unchallenging, with little enemy variety, making some combat encounters feel repetitive.
The game feels incomplete as it currently only includes the first act with the second act pending, leading to a somewhat unfinished narrative and limited content.

The game suffers from several bugs, including issues with the controller system and slow enemy behavior, but it runs well on the Steam Deck. Overall, stability is problematic but not game-breaking.
- “The game is very buggy but you'd probably guessed that going in given that it's only £8.50; the game has some issues like how most zombies are slow enough a zamboni could reasonably out speed them.”
- “First of all, the controller system is buggy.”
