I've had this game wish listed for awhile because it looked interesting and I wanted to play it. I have unfortunately requested a refund after a short play time. A few issues I ran into. Mouse lag: When moving the mouse the on screen cursor would move noticeably later than when you moved your mouse. Frame rate: The frame rate would get some what choppy throughout playing. Character Stuck: I was sneaking around a group of zombies and I hit an invisible wall where the player cannot pass. I turned around to go back another way only to find that I was stuck in place and had to restart the game.

Cons: Zombies are blind I believe so you don't really have to get away just don't bump into them while moving through the level, mouse was jittery, not much story, lots of walking with nothing happening, I didn't even get the achievement for beating the game, and even though in the game it says you can stun the zombies with the light and make sound to distract them I didn't see any of that (zombies kept walking towards me until i guess they got to the end of their patrol then stopped and I never saw any intractable for sound. Final thoughts: Even though I can't recommend this to just an…3 found this helpful
