    The story features a simple but engaging plot centered on a man searching for his missing brother amid a dark government conspiracy, supported by environmental storytelling and collectible lore. However, some players find the missions restrictive and wish for more optional content beyond main boss fights. Overall, the narrative adds intrigue but may feel limited for those seeking more complex or varied story progression.

    • “This game offers hours of old-school FPS action with a dash of extraction shooter and dreary apocalyptic vibes. It features a simple story about a man trying to find his missing brother while being led deeper into a dark government conspiracy, all while upgrading your house and 3D printing character upgrades at a local quicky mart. You trade discarded bottles for prizes and take odd jobs from a laptop that progress the plot!”
    • “Based on the trailer, the game appears to develop more substance in the environment and missions.”
    • “Intriguing setting, with snippets of collectible lore scattered around as well as some nice environmental storytelling.”
    • “No story.”
    • “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.”
    • “At the very least, the bosses should be optional high-stakes side quests, and other missions should be available.”

    The gameplay offers a decent core experience with a potentially interesting trading system and stealth mechanics that add tension. However, it currently feels basic and lacks challenge, with enemies posing little threat once the stealth is understood. The overall experience is promising but limited and in need of further development.

    • “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.”
    • “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.”
    • “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.”

Overall, the visuals suit the game's style but are not a major focus compared to gameplay.
