The gameplay is characterized by smooth and responsive mechanics, providing an enjoyable experience overall. However, players note that the crafting system requires improvement and the lack of a tutorial makes it challenging to grasp the game's mechanics initially.
“Smooth and responsive gameplay.”
“Crafting needs some more work, but it's easy to nail down as there isn't a tutorial to teach you the mechanics of the game as of yet.”

The music is effectively eerie and enhances the nighttime atmosphere, contributing to moments of genuine fright, particularly during zombie encounters. However, the lack of ambient sounds and zombie footstep audio is noted as a drawback, with hopes for future improvements.
“The music literally gave me a heart attack when a zombie approached me.”
“The zombies don't have footsteps, nor is there any real background music, ambiance, or anything, which is a letdown, but I'm sure that'll be fixed later.”
“The music is very suitable at night because it's tailored to be creepy.”

Users report significant stability issues, including buggy graphics settings and inconsistent multiplayer game launches that often result in black screens. Many have experienced crashes and glitches, leading to frustration and requests for refunds. Overall, the game's stability is considered poor, detracting from the overall experience.
“Graphics settings are buggy, multiplayer game launches are hit and miss and often just end in a black screen.”
“I encountered so many issues. I tried fixing my resolution, and it just closed my game. When I tried opening it back up, it wouldn't work, so I chose to restart my PC. Then it worked, but it became so buggy and glitchy until finally it closed my game again. I wasted 15 dollars on this; I want a refund.”

The game suffers from a lack of variety, leading to a quick decline in interest and minimal replayability once players grasp the basic rules needed to succeed.
“Due to the lack of variety on all fronts, the game becomes extremely boring quickly and has little to no replayability once you understand the basic rules required to win.”
“The game quickly loses its charm because of repetitive gameplay, making it hard to find reasons to replay after the initial experience.”
“Once you've completed the game, there is little incentive to return, as the limited content and predictable outcomes diminish replayability.”
