The verdict
A janky but charming one-dev Resident Evil-style co-op survival horror with split-screen, short at about 3-5 hours. Skip it if bugs, rough combat or low polish bother you.
Great for
Resident Evil fans who want cheap, janky co-op survival horror, especially split-screen with a friend
Main risk
Game-breaking bugs (stuck characters, vanishing items, softlocks) and clunky combat can ruin progress
