The story in this early access game is minimalistic yet intriguing, focusing on a heartless protagonist navigating a gritty world of violence and survival, reminiscent of titles like "Manhunt" and "Hotline Miami." While the narrative is delivered through environmental storytelling and sparse cutscenes, players express a desire for more content and deeper story development as the game progresses. Overall, the foundation is solid, with a compelling premise that leaves players eager for future expansions and narrative elaboration.
- “This premise sets the stage for a story that revolves around coercion and survival rather than heroism or redemption.”
- “Storytelling is delivered sparingly through environmental cues, phone calls, and contextual details, allowing the oppressive atmosphere to speak louder than lengthy exposition.”
- “The story is simple: you're Exit, a stone-cold killer-lady, and some shady dudes put an explosive device in your skull.”
- “The story isn't really all there, just notes you can find on each map, but this is early access. I don't play this game for the story, just to see how far I can test the sandbox.”
- “The story that is here is sparse; it is a vehicle to get you from mission to mission, and that is perfectly fine.”
- “The story is very much subtle and really well told, and the ambience is perfect.”

- “The gameplay is a twisted mix between Hotline Miami, Manhunt, and Ready or Not.”
- “The gameplay feels very similar to Cruelty Squad but without the deliberately obnoxious mechanics.”
- “The gameplay is straightforward and brutal; enemies can still shoot at you even when knocked down, so make sure they're really dead.”

The game's graphics are characterized by a gritty, retro aesthetic reminiscent of late 90s and early 2000s titles, drawing heavy inspiration from games like Manhunt and Condemned. Players appreciate the low-poly art style and VHS filter, which enhance the immersive, grimy atmosphere and complement the solid gunplay. Overall, the visuals effectively contribute to the game's unique identity, blending nostalgia with a distinct grindhouse vibe.
- “Visually, the game embraces a grimy, industrial aesthetic that perfectly complements its themes.”
- “The graphics are really atmospheric to the grungy style the game loves.”
- “The art style, as well as the character model and mission location designs are pretty good as well.”
- “The graphics are... well, you can see for yourself.”
- “1998 art style - feels like a LithTech powered game from the late 90s.”
- “The aesthetic is flat & no part of it coheres into something interesting or with thematic weight.”

The music in the game has received widespread acclaim for its high quality and ability to enhance the atmosphere, particularly during combat sequences. However, many players express frustration with the music's limited presence, as it only activates during fights, leading to a desire for a more consistent soundtrack throughout gameplay. Overall, while the soundtrack is praised as "banging" and fitting for the game's gritty aesthetic, players hope for improvements that would allow them to enjoy it more frequently.
- “Incredible soundtrack and fun gunplay with a great aesthetic.”
- “Its got a grungy and hopeless atmosphere, aided by a great soundtrack and crunchy sound design that sounds like it was recorded on some old phone.”
- “The music is a fucking banger on that front too when shit hits the fan because while you can be stealthy, once guns start blasting that's when the music kicks in full force as it is both adrenaline pumping and connects you with the action.”
- “Oh also, many people have already mentioned this but the music only playing during combat just does not work. It will end playing for 2-5 seconds at a time because combat encounters are on the short and brutal side. I would prefer a more ambient, slower version to play when you start the level and haven't been spotted yet, which then blares up into the full version in combat, and then settles back down again.”
- “The music is much more toned down or even not on at all when you play stealthy and take out your enemies without them knowing what hit them. The intensity of the music seems tied to the awareness of the enemy AI.”
- “My second small gripe with the game is that the music playing and then slowing down and stopping constantly is a little too much. It's hard to have the music playing for more than a few seconds, which I find very frustrating because it always winds down just as I'm starting to get in the mood.”

The humor in the game is characterized by a blend of dark comedy and slapstick moments, with players enjoying the absurdity of NPC interactions, such as slipping on blood or being hilariously outsmarted by their own traps.

Overall, the game successfully balances a gritty aesthetic with moments of levity, making for an entertaining experience.
- “The ragdolls on the enemies are hilarious, the movement is incredibly responsive, the guns and attachments are top notch, and everything adds up to a game with nearly infinite options of how to approach every new mission.”
- “One of the things I've found really impressive whilst playing the demo and the full game is that sometimes enemies will slip on blood and gibs, which never ceases to be sadistically funny and can sometimes lead to some really chaotic moments.”
- “The janky ragdoll physics when combining melee and shotgun to launch enemies midair is hilarious too.”

Overall, the game's optimization is a mixed bag; while it shows promise with high FPS and large levels on some platforms, users report significant performance issues, particularly on Linux and the Steam Deck. Many players express hope for future updates to improve optimization, as current performance can be choppy and inconsistent, especially on newer maps.

- “This game really needs some more graphics settings and optimization.”
- “The optimization, at least for me, was trash; it said it was running at 60 fps, but the gameplay was choppy and froze a lot.”

Overall, the game's stability is a mixed bag; while many players find it relatively bug-free for an early access title, some report frustrating glitches, such as enemy AI issues and occasional frame rate drops. Despite these problems, the core gameplay remains enjoyable and reminiscent of classic titles, with players expressing optimism for future improvements.
- “Despite being in early access, the game is relatively bug-free.”
- “It is not buggy and runs very well.”
- “That said, in the train yard level I did come across a big drop in FPS compared to the rest of the game and even a few freezes.”
- “Enemy AI really needs to be worked on (sometimes they don't see you even if you're standing in front of them), also the music seems buggy - I believe it's supposed to play when you're engaging the enemy and quiet down after the fight but in my case, it felt totally random and all over the place.”
- “It is still janky and buggy in some aspects but if this was the full release instead of early access I'd still give it a 9/10 great game and I can't wait for what's to come.”
grinding

Players generally find the grinding in the game to be engaging rather than tedious, thanks to the sandbox-like level design that makes completing objectives feel immersive and enjoyable.

The monetization model of the game is straightforward and player-friendly, as it does not include a battle pass, microtransactions, or any fear of missing out (FOMO) elements. This approach allows players to focus on gameplay without the distractions or pressures often associated with monetized systems.
- “While some effort has been made to offset weapons (LMG is slow to ADS, etc.), adding a scope to anything turns it into a recoilless quickscoping laser.”
- “I understand things like the shotgun not having an ADS animation, but then you can slap a laser sight on it and still barely zoom to actually see what my laser sight is aiming at.”
- “It is a single-player game that does not have a battle pass, microtransactions, or FOMO.”
