There are just way too many issues with this game that ruined the experience for me. I know it's early access and cheap, but I'm not sure this many issues can ever be resolved properly. To begin with, there are only two levels as it stands as of the date of this review. So there is not much content at all. Character movement is also awkward and you cannot remap the WASD movement controls. There is also no controller support. The male voice acting in this game is also atrociously bad. In-game music will also blare over the soft spoken voice acting at times no matter what you change in the volume settings. Inventory is also extremely limited and there is no way to store or drop items. You are therefore forced to use items in your inventory in order to make room for more. Combat is also awful to where you will be wildly swinging a knife or struggling to aim a gun properly. When zombies detect you, they immediately rush and attach to you like a magnet. Combined with the terrible aiming, this makes using the gun almost impossible. Using the knife is also a frustrating experience when two zombies are attacking you and you must press the correct quick-time like key prompts. Zombies will …4 found this helpful
So far so good with this one. I've enjoyed the time spent early on. The game features voice over work which brings the main character to life. Can move around freely in the map. It's ur standard survival horror stuff top down. There are puzzles, notes, things to pick up from lockers etc. The combat is fine. I didn't run around like a lunatic. Lookin forward to seein' where the story goes. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/ym920W4kv4Y3 found this helpful

For $3 this is an absolute steal. Ignore the AI voices in the trailer, there were real VAs used in the version I played so I'm assuming the trailer is outdated. The "good": -Cool sci-fi vibes -Space zombies -Interesting combat and exploration -Intriguing and kept me engaged -Great visuals for an isometric The "bad": -I feel like the zombies' movement patterns and behaviors could be tuned a little to better accommodate the stealth part of the gameplay. There's not a lot of nuance, it's just black & white "spotted/unseen" with no in-between, no buffer time to stealth kill an enemy if they see you at the very last second, no mechanic to quickly dispatch unaware enemies coming through a door or around a corner, etc. The ugly: -The color/camera puzzle to get the computer code in Episode 2 threw me for a loop. I used every line of logic that made sense and could NOT progress further. Doesn't help that there's next to no information online (not the game's fault, I just couldn't progress). Had to give up, maybe I'll come back to it one day.
