The verdict

A short, stylish BioShock-flavored theme-park boomer shooter with fun weapons and great art for about $15. Skip it if you want deep immersive-sim systems or a satisfying story and ending.

Great for

Players wanting a cheap, short, atmospheric retro FPS with a BioShock look and lots of silly weapons

Main risk

The ending is widely hated, and the game is short and shallow compared to BioShock

What changed in the last 30 days

105 recent reviews

Recent negative reviews mostly cite the ending, and some also cite undisclosed AI use and disappointment with the story. The overall recent trend looks driven by those complaints.

What players love

Striking art and theme-park atmosphere

Mentioned in ~2 in 5 positive reviews

“Creepy atmosphere in the vein of Bioshock, with more of a circus/theme park twist. The art direction really elevates this for me so far”

Fun, creative weapon variety

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 positive reviews

“Wide arsenal, love the creative spin on some archetypes (e.g. the "magnum" isn't a magnum, "sniper" isn't a rifle).”
Steam review · 9.8 h played ↗

“Any game that lets you have weapons like a gumball shooting minigun or a sniper that's just a slingshot with a magnifying glass attached has my love for style”

What players complain about

Weak, shallow story and writing

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“it's like bioshock if bioshock completely bombed the second half of the story and hobbled across the finish line”
Steam review · 6.7 h played ↗

“Boilerplate Bioshock successor that brings the basic mechanics without breathing any life into the game itself.”
Steam review · 5.6 h played ↗

Repetitive, shallow arena combat

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“Gameplay Loop: 1. Enter a room 2. Room Locks and boss music plays 3. Enemies spawn 4. You kill the enemies 5. The room Unlocks 6. Rinse and repeat”
Steam review · 1.8 h played ↗

Hated, disturbing ending

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“The ending... Literally the last 30 seconds of the game... Is so repulsive that the game left an awful taste in my mouth.”
Steam review · 6.4 h played ↗

“A solid linear shooter with an ending so offensively bad it managed to undo all of the goodwill the game was building.”
Steam review · 6.6 h played ↗

Short and not a true BioShock

Mentioned in ~1 in 4 negative reviews

“it's honestly just a linear first person shooter with a bit of backtracking and weapon upgrades”
Steam review · 3.4 h played ↗

Undisclosed generative AI use

Mentioned in ~1 in 9 negative reviews

“Game was made using AI and fails to disclose it on the Steam Page.”
Steam review · 5.7 h played ↗

“Failure to disclose the use of Ai in your product is incredibly scummy and something I cannot condone”
Steam review · 12.2 h played ↗

Too many weapons, many useless

Mentioned in ~1 in 12 negative reviews

“It feels more like the dev just needed to fill out 10 weapons, but didn't really have strong concepts for more than like 5-6 weapons.”
