The game needs a lot of work. Could use either some music or ambiance for the main menu and in game. Without the aforementioned it's all a slog. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/-KnIw1mpEsE
"THEORY" is a badly made Unreal engine asset flip, a bunch of basic Unreal Marketplace/Fab assets dumped on a first person adventure/shooter blueprint. One of literally thousands of low effort minimum viable product asset flips crammed onto Steam, although in this case it's not malicious, just lazy... either way the result of asset flipping like this is a zero value product that nobody wanted. The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Gamers can tell... and it comes across as insincere. This also features really godawful, "wrong" looking AI slop for some aspects of the game. It's hard to say if this was because the developer didn't have the skill to do the job of creating real game assets or couldn't afford to hire someone who does, but it also doesn't matter. What matters is that this looks bad because of that decision. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too, and that's glaringly obvious here. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 2 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

"Teori", aç zombi ordularının istila ettiği kıyamet sonrası bir dünyada geçen yoğun bir birinci şahıs nişancı (FPS) oyunudur. Oyuncular kendilerini geniş, ıssız bir manzarada buluyorlar. Hayatta kalan biri olarak çeşitli ortamlarda dolaşacaksınız.
[RU/EN] Не могу сказать, что тут вообще пахнет игрой. Поделкой в игровом плане? - Возможно...🤔 Набор текстур с кривым расположением и ужасной физикой. Звуки вообще решили пропасть после уровня с фермой. 😅 3 оружия и самое эффективное - это автомат (остальное даже испытывать не стоит).🫣 Огромная куча беззвучных зомби с которыми очень легко справиться. 😑 Очень сыро и нету ничего интересно. Зато работает и ее можно пройти за 15-20 минут.🥱 "Моя оценка - 1/10" Понравилось сносить зомби машиной и иметь бесконечный запас патронов против тонны зомби Поэтому поставил 1 из 10 🤭 I can’t say that this smells like a game at all. Crafts in game terms? - Perhaps...🤔 A set of textures with crooked placement and terrible physics. The sounds completely disappeared after the farm level. 😅 3 weapons and the most effective is a machine gun (the rest is not even worth testing).🫣 A huge bunch of silent zombies that are very easy to deal with. 😑 Very damp and nothing interesting. But it works and can be completed in 15-20 minutes.🥱 “My rating is 1/10” I liked demolishing zombies with a car and having an endless supply of ammo against a ton of zombies, so I gave it 1 out of 10 🤭
This game is a will make you contemplate your existence and really make you appreciate how good you might have it regardless of the mental struggles you may be going the real story of this game makes you realize even in the toughest of times you can still prevail 12/8
This 10/2
Theory is certainly a game. Not a good one but still a game. The shooting feels pretty bland and the SMG (I'm guessing) feels like trying to use a spring as a rifle. The Pistol has no cooldown for shots so get an autoclicker and make it a minigun. The shotgun is pretty strong but pretty slow, so atleast in the tunnel section, escaping is the only way. Felt like a maze but it was literally straight. Driving the car felt like trying to program a website on Wordpress, something works for some reason, it doesn't work good but it runs for some god forsaken reason, even though it shouldn't. A lot of the textures were pretty plain, like the alley of water hydrants and floating grass. Green room looked fun but it was a straight tunnel. And to top it off, you get to the end, run to the bomb, and that's it, credits. Was thinking there could be something more, so I pressed continue, ran the other direction and credits, which you can fall off from and fall endlessly. Oh and you are Jesus, in the winter level, water is walkable. If the devs ever read these reviews, maybe start by making the game feel more real. The running feels as though I'm gliding. And the shooting is like trying to hold the hose down from escaping your hands, especially the SMG. The map looks alright but you could make it better by having more paths and not just room of certain death x7. Overall, I'd say this game is not in a playable state at the moment, if the devs ever update this, might consider changing the review, but until then, this one deserves the negative reviews.
10/10, would play again. Donated to the patreon.
It was alright. Good for A free to play game. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQ881HCB3Qc&t=1s
