The game's stability is a significant concern, with numerous bugs and issues affecting gameplay, particularly related to ammunition and equipment. While the concept shows potential, players find the current early access build disappointing due to its instability and lack of engaging content.
“Interesting concept, too bad there's nothing to do in this game and it is too buggy to turn a blind eye. I know it is an early access game, but still it is disappointing. It could be an interesting game in the future, but now... eh.”
“Current build (May 2020) seems to be very buggy, with lots of problems surrounding ammunition and equipment in general.”

The graphics in the game have been criticized for resembling PS1-era visuals, with issues such as constant clipping of fabric items and particularly poor character animations, detracting from the overall experience.
“I would have been able to forgive the PS1-level graphics or the constant clipping of loose fabric items in this game if it weren't for the horrible character animations of the main character.”

The atmosphere is generally described as pleasant, enhanced by appealing scenery and immersive sound design. However, a persistent sense of worry detracts from the overall experience, preventing players from fully enjoying the ambiance.
“The atmosphere is pleasant, the scenery is beautiful, and the voice and sounds enhance the experience, though the constant worry adds a layer of tension.”
