The verdict
A free, chaotic Squid Game-style party game that shines with friends and proximity chat. It's abandoned, cheater-ridden and toxic in public lobbies, so skip it if you'll play solo.
Great for
Friend groups wanting a free, silly, chaotic party game with voice chat
Main risk
Toxic public lobbies, hackers and no updates since 2021 make solo play miserable

Recent negatives cite a dead playerbase, no anti-cheat and no updates, plus some players installing only for Camp Forest Green and disliking it. Moderately sure.
