I think it's a really rad game, dude. This is one of those releases that I think is really tacked down along all lines where there's drama, there's things going wrong. [...] I'm very happy with this title. Easy recommend if you're into these types of games.

I would go so far as to say this is actually like one of the better zombie games right now on Steam to come out in the last couple years. It's quite enjoyable.

I like the core gameplay loop. It's basically this War of Mine just, you know, from a different jump.

That was fun. That that was a lot of fun. Like but again like I never found a traitor. I never found a revolver or a shotgun or anything like that.

I played the demo for this a little while ago… and I really liked it. Like I was sold right away.
