The verdict
An early-access Poppy Playtime spin-off that copies REPO/Lethal Company with Peak-style stamina. It's fun with friends but thin on content and has no public matchmaking, so skip it if you play solo.
Great for
Poppy Playtime fans with a group of Steam friends who want a light co-op quota horror
Main risk
No public matchmaking, so without Steam friends who own it the game is a boring, hard solo grind
What players love
