The game's story revolves around a man searching for his missing brother amidst a dark government conspiracy, set in a dreary apocalyptic environment. Players engage in various missions that blend old-school FPS action with elements of an extraction shooter, while also uncovering lore through environmental storytelling and collectibles. However, some players feel that the narrative could benefit from optional high-stakes side quests and more substantial missions.
- “This game can hold hours of old-school FPS action with a dash of extraction shooter and dreary apocalyptic vibes, featuring a simple story about a man trying to find his missing brother while being led deeper into a dark government conspiracy. You make upgrades to your house and 3D print character upgrades at your local (legitimate) quickie mart, trading discarded bottles for (totally legal) prizes from neighbors, all while taking odd jobs from your laptop that progress the plot!”
