The verdict
A deep, punishing solo PvE extraction shooter with Tarkov/STALKER vibes, flexible difficulty and active devs. Skip it if you need controller play, a polished UI or fair late-game combat.
Great for
Solo players who want a Tarkov/STALKER-style PvE extraction loop with adjustable difficulty
Main risk
Clunky inventory/controller UI and late-game enemies that kill you almost instantly
