Reviews
- The game delivers a tense and immersive survival horror experience reminiscent of classic Resident Evil titles, with strong atmosphere and engaging level design.
- Unique clothing system where outfits act as armor and degrade with damage adds a strategic layer to resource management and gameplay.
- The developers are active and responsive to community feedback, showing commitment to improving the game over time.
- Combat is frustrating due to janky AI, inconsistent enemy behaviors, high difficulty in killing zombies, and lack of dodge mechanics, leading to frequent deaths and tedious gameplay.
- Inventory management is poor, with clothing items taking up limited space, forcing tedious backtracking and inefficient item juggling.
- Technical issues including frequent crashes, non-skippable cutscenes without fast-forward, graphical glitches, and lack of voice acting significantly detract from the overall experience.

13 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe gameplay offers a unique blend of survival horror with a strong emphasis on clothing crafting and stealth mechanics, providing fresh and interesting experiences reminiscent of Resident Evil 2. However, it suffers from frustratingly precise stealth sections, unintuitive puzzles, lack of a dodge mechanic, and occasionally confusing gameplay design that may require patience to fully enjoy. Overall, it's recommended for fans seeking challenging and distinctive survival horror gameplay despite its rough edges.
“Due to the clothing being an essential game mechanic, there is a ton of materials to collect.”
“This part of the game is not skipped, but can be set to be played like the rest of the game, or played using a stealth mechanic.”
“Stealth gameplay feels fresh and pretty unique.”
“Definitely a knockoff wannabe Resident Evil game, with 10 times worse mechanics and unintuitive, confusing puzzles, with a heavy focus on going so far out of your way to craft clothing that you completely forget where you were going.”
“Very badly designed chase and stealth mechanic; the developer wants you to do every detailed exact step with precise timing in the stealth section.”
“There is also no dodge mechanic, which could've alleviated the frustrations the prior issue causes, and adding it to the tight maps they want you to move through is a recipe for disaster.”
