Genuinely a hit I never saw coming, and it's good even this early in development. I played during the NextFest demo period, and while I'd had my eye on this product before then I tend to be skeptical of these sorts of survival focused games. They're particularly hit or miss as a genre for me; even as someone who has managed to get some fun out of Zomboid I'd chalk that to friends more than engagement.

There's a point to that ramble: I am genuinely one of those people who is very very hard to please when it comes to survival crafting focused games. This game was a brick to the head in the BEST way possible. I played the NextFest demo with two friends, and solo to the point of beating all of the provided content and was sat wanting more.

Even in the Early Access period, which admittedly does have a few bugs, hitches, and is lacking all of the included content: This game is 100% worth your time either as a game to play with friends, by yourself, and even if you're normally a bit against things like Zomboid. This game is a lovely balance between difficulty, and survival. It creates breathing space, it lets you explore, it doesn't just throw you into the deep end, and it makes sure the game becomes difficult at YOUR pace, not its.

Along side that is some peak dark humor, this game is that bittersweet hilarious mix of the retro 90s era 3D design with some genuine moments of tension, fear, and chaos. You'll be make dumb jokes about being a member of the SCIENCE TEAM and calling out Gordon. Then everything changes, you and your buddies are huddled in your little fort made of scraps, holding your basic weapons, and jumping at the shadows moving in the halls.

I cannot say this enough for the price tag you're getting what feels like a full quarter of the whole game already in Early Access this early, and an amazing experience out of it. Buy it, play it, laugh, and run for your life!
