Gameplay

The timer is not just a mechanic—it shapes how you approach every decision, turning even small choices into meaningful gambles.
Difficulty
Players who bring up Difficulty mostly praise it.
26 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
I first played on the default (Easy) difficulty, then restarted on a "Regular" difficulty, and I can confidently say the production quality in v0.0.6 is excellent - items such as maps, a tracker, and a compass were added and can be used or ignored at your convenience!
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
25 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
The variety of items—ranging from weapons and attachments to consumables and crafting materials—allows for different playstyles and loadouts, encouraging experimentation.
Multiplayer
Players who bring up Multiplayer mostly praise it.

this game is really fun, scratches the itch for an extraction shooter without all the pvp. co-op would be cool but its 5 bucks so i cant complain.
Co-op
Players who bring up Co-op mostly praise it.
9 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
The addition of co-op (P2P, perhaps?) would definitely add some appeal here, and Steam Workshop integration (for new gear, new maps, etc) could lend it some legs.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
8 of 229 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are decent enough for a low-poly indie title, and I can appreciate that it's being developed by a very small team.
