The verdict
A janky but atmospheric solo-dev zombie survival sandbox with satisfying scavenging and base building. Skip it if you want a polished game; bugs and save problems can wipe progress.
Great for
Patient survival fans who tolerate jank, enjoy scavenging and base building, and want to support a solo dev
Main risk
Bugs, save/load problems and vanishing items can erase hours of progress in a very slowly updated game
What players love
Dedicated solo dev who keeps updating
