Early Access Review
UPDATE 12 June 2019:

I deeply apologize to the dev's for taking so long in updating this review. Since I last reviewed the game it's seen a massive improvement for the better. The game is now becoming what it was envisioned to become.

It runs way smoother, the melee feels great, the gun-play feels awesome (using the sniper was especially satisfying), and it's harrowing af at times.

I can comfortably say I recommend this game wholeheartedly now, and I'm stoked to see where it goes from here! I was reminded to make this update after the most recent major update, which I can't wait to try out. :P


This game has some of the most dedicated developers I've ever seen. The amount of love they have for this project is visible in how they engage their community with transparancy and consistency. This game, once everything is ironed out, is going to be the best zombie VR game out there but it's got some ways to go. Definitely wishlist and follow this one.

Sadly though, I can't recommend this yet. I know it's in early access but when the tutorial is unplayable and there are more gamebreaking bugs for comfort still I have to suggest to give this one more time.

My clips still clip (no pun intended) out of my guns. The pointer to make menu selections breaks and points down and away from where it should be pointing. The tutorial doesn't move past the first window where it says to push your watch with the trigger no matter how many times I try. The gun angle completely breaks sometimes so when you go to aim it points in the air making you have to reload back in, though reloading in and out of levels does sometimes fix this.

It's just, with all of this said and done it's not fun yet.

Hello metafish sorry to hear you are not having a good experience. Could you provide us with a bit more information regarding the tutorial? What part of it does not work for you exactly? We're aware of some confusion that has led to some people being tripped up but as of our latest public build you should be able to complete it.

When you say the pointer selections do you mean when interacting with the wrist watch menu? We don't have any reports of that being bugged currently, if you are experiencing trouble with it any information or repro steps would help us tremendously try and look into the problem you are experiencing.

If you have any other feedback regarding the missions and what specifically you enjoy or do not is always welcomed, and will be helpful in shaping future missions as they come online. Thank you!
