Gameplay is centered around themes of paranoia and trust, requiring players to navigate objectives while managing limited resources and ammunition. Although currently in early access with some rough edges and only two maps, the core mechanics are well-structured and engaging, offering a solid foundation for future development. Players appreciate the interesting concepts and active development team, making it a promising choice for those who prioritize gameplay over graphics.
“So as for gameplay, it's all about paranoia and trying to figure out who you can trust while you do the objectives around the level.”
“Although the game's presently in early access, the core gameplay elements here are already quite well structured and implemented.”
“Gameplay is fun, even with the earliness of the development.”
“From what I've seen from gameplay videos, I think giving the alien side unlimited lives is kind of unfair if you're going to give the humans limited ammunition and resources.”
“As an early access game, there's still a lot of rough edges; gameplay elements need refinement and there are just two maps at present, but it's a promising start from a responsive team.”
“This is caused because normally people like to play the game with 4 or 5 people minimum, and if a player hasn't joined the Discord channel where we organize games, they would get fed up with waiting and get a refund, leave a bad review, and move on when the game mechanics are quite interesting and it runs quite smoothly as it's quite optimized.”
