If you love extraction shooters, roguelike's, base building and/or colony sim....please...for the love of all that is holy....buy this game....especially if you are married and/or have kiddos....you can ACTUALLY PAUSE IT. I'm telling you....this game thus far....6 hours in....I don't want to stop playing....it's 4AM in TX and I have to go to work tomorrow....I might call in dead until Monday....

I only played for about half an hour, but I've seen so many telltale signs of generative AI used in the art (and maybe the voice acting?) that I've been forced to write a review. If it was only used for concepting, if it was just placeholder art, whatever. I can't be bothered to engage with it when the primary loading screen of the game looks like an AI generated image that was touched up in photoshop by someone who thought they could fool us with a dash of human touch--which, spoiler alert, they didn't. That's not to mention the character portraits, which also bear the clear hallmarks of "ai misunderstanding human anatomy and its symmetries." I don't really want to give money to a company incapable of caring enough about their project to put quality human labor into *every aspect* of it before dumping it into my lap and saying "this is worth paying for," ESPECIALLY when they don't make use of Steam's generative AI disclosure (which they used to have, but for some reason got rid of, despite still containing AI generated content). What's the real problem with using AI to create parts of their game? Why not let this self-proclaimed small dev team (which they remind you of each time you launch the game) cut some corners while they're in early access so that they can create more while doing less? Because it's derivative. Because whatever concept they end up with, it has to be something so average, so banal, so mind-numbingly mediocre that it could be generated by a chatbot in less than a tenth of a second. I will be refunding this. Best of luck to the developers, I hope you choose to show some basic respect to your audience by being honest with them.

after the update(8/25/2026) windows security blocked the game. will change when it works again.

Its Basically future Russia mixed with basic gathering and survivors upgrades nonsense. Its really fun.

This games performance is pretty bad don't get me wrong it's fun but I'll keep my eye on it for like 8 months see what happens. Early access or not wouldn't recommend right now.

I'll keep it short very short. It seems to be a minority opinion, but personally it very much feels like the tags are a little deceptive. This game is heavily an fps/action game or whatever you'd call that. The colony sims, base building or survival tags are barely a part of the game. I'm sure doing repetitive 5 minute missions where you shoot every one in a room over and over appeals to some (clearly), but I had hoped the tags were accurate and that there was more to this game
