The story offers a simple yet engaging premise involving a search for a missing brother entwined with a dark government conspiracy, supported by environmental storytelling and collectible lore. However, some players find the narrative progression limited or frustrating, with a desire for more optional side quests and varied missions. Overall, the story provides a decent backdrop but may feel sparse or challenging in its current form.
- “Based on the trailer for the game it does seem that there becomes more substance to the environment and missions.”
- “This game can hold hours of old-school FPS action with a dash of extraction shooter and dreary apocalyptic vibes with a simple story about a man trying to find his missing brother while being led deeper into dark government conspiracy, all while you make upgrades to house and 3D print character upgrades at your local (legitimate) quicky mart and trade discarded bottles for (totally legal) prizes from neighbors, all while taking odd jobs from a laptop that progress the plot!”
- “Intriguing setting, snippets of collectible lore dotted around as well as some nice environmental storytelling.”
- “Game is broken. I can't even extract; I follow where I have to go and get stuck. Can't leave the raid. I can't even do the first mission on very easy, which is crazy.”
- “No story.”
- “At the very least, the bosses should be optional high-stakes side quests, and other missions should be available.”

The gameplay offers decent core mechanics with a promising trading system, but currently feels basic and limited with no clear development roadmap. Stealth elements add risk and tension, though enemy AI is predictable and poses little challenge once mechanics are understood. Overall, it provides an interesting foundation but lacks depth and polish at this stage.
- “The gameplay is stealthy and risky, so you have to be afraid of enemies just like in reality you would be; the soundtrack suits it wonderfully.”
- “I'm not someone who cares much about graphics and gameplay always comes first for me, but even with very low-fidelity, almost 90s-style visuals, I was willing to give it a chance as the game definitely interested me and the dev talked passionately about it in the Discord.”
- “Right now, it’s a basic experience with limited gameplay and no clear roadmap.”
- “I never found myself running out of ammo due to how easy it was to kill enemies since they have no sense of survival and pose no threat once you understand the stealth mechanics of the game.”
- “The core gameplay mechanics are decent, and the trading system in particular had potential.”
