- Unique and compelling concept combining turn-based RPG, base building, survival, and story elements with a medieval apocalypse setting.
- Appealing hand-drawn art style and graphics that fit the game's atmosphere well.
- Depth in character and inventory management, with tactical and strategic gameplay that rewards independent decision-making.
- The game currently suffers from numerous bugs including freezing, end turn button getting stuck, and save system limitations causing frustration.

- Excessive micromanagement, unclear mechanics, repetitive and sometimes unfair gameplay elements such as frequent random zombie attacks and scarce resources.

19 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay features a deep, well-designed survival system with organic decision-making and complex mechanics that encourage independent play. However, it suffers from unclear explanations, a steep learning curve, inconsistent mechanics, and UI issues that hinder enjoyment and require trial-and-error to grasp fully. While promising and thoughtfully created, the game needs improved tutorials, balancing, and bug fixes to reach its potential.
“Interesting idea, very well made, beautiful graphics, easy to learn mechanics and controls, great storytelling, thought-through characters... the lot.”
“As far as the gameplay goes, I liked that you are not led by the hand and, like in a real apocalypse, you have to make decisions independently and often irreversibly: tasks are rather descriptions of the general situation, not mandatory orders, so the game flow is more organic and lets you explore more than follow the dots as in many other games.”
“I struggled for hours with the UI and the game's unexplained mechanics, restarting the game multiple times, asking questions in the Steam discussions (the dev was very helpful) before I was able to roughly understand how the game is supposed to work and realizing the depth and tension in its approach to managing your characters and supplies.”
“Game poorly explains its mechanics; end of turn sometimes occurs randomly, sometimes you do it manually. Counter attacks do not happen consistently, and you lose people for random reasons (maybe it is tutorial forced, but it should be explained in-game). Lots of small issues like this make it way less enjoyable than it could be.”

“A lot of the mechanics are not explained properly, such as inventory and 'special actions' like looting a building.”
