The verdict
A cheap Thai-themed asymmetrical horror game with fun fight-back mechanics, but it's effectively abandoned, with dead queues, high ping and poor balance. Skip it unless you have friends to play with.
Great for
Asymmetrical horror fans who want a cheap DBD alternative with friends and fight-back mechanics
Main risk
Dead player base: long queues or 200-300 ping Asian servers make matches hard to get

What players complain about
Unbalanced, survivor/killer sided
Mentioned in ~1 in 2 negative reviews
“currently it is absurdly survivor sided. I mean it's laughable. Prepare to have your ass beaten and stunned for the entire round with their seemingly unlimited supply of items.”

Dead servers, long queues, high ping
Mentioned in ~2 in 5 negative reviews
“Servers are dead in the US and Europe region, no one plays this game. I can only get a match in Asia server, but I'll have 200+ ping which is not enjoyable at all.”

Predatory monetization and cash-grab skins
