Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.
58 of 194 sampled reviews raised it
The design of the levels, the narrative pace of the story, the choice of some small situational puzzles where you need to find ways to continue, are all good things in the game and makes me feel compelled to continue.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
46 of 194 sampled reviews raised it
The game is a zombie shooter with similarities to Arizona Sunshine, but with a more tense atmosphere and much improved mechanics, including full manual reloading, weapon upgrades, melee and climbing.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
37 of 194 sampled reviews raised it
The visuals are surprisingly good for an indie title, but don't expect HLA quality.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
37 of 194 sampled reviews raised it
Being able to modify weapons feels like being somewhat inspired by Alyx, and it works.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
20 of 194 sampled reviews raised it
It's a linear story with good voice acting provided to you through a radio (Into The Radius fans may recognise one voice actor).
