Strange rougelike game with a very minimalist graphic design, although I really like how there's so much brimming complexity in this game - and just about this whole idea of being a supposedly sole survivor after an apocalypse which raises the dead and a bunch of other monsters to chase after you. It's really something where there's so much to take note of with very complicated controls - but also very much where it feels immersive once you're into it.

There's a lot of brimming detail in this game, and I particularly remember my favourite moments were when I was riding about in a modified shopping cart which was filled with guns that I used to shoot zombies with. As well as screwing up my character's body with cyber-augmentations and mutagen, and a particularly horrific moment where my character suddenly started to vomit up black goop - only for it to turn out it's a fungal infection, causing fungus to burst from their arms - crippling them and killing them quickly but painfully. (I literally walked away from my computer because that really freaked me out, just from text descriptions alone).

There's a lot to like about this game, but also there's a lot in it that would no doubt frustrate people. It's not something where you're really meant to complete it, much more just experience the variety with it - and boy is there a lot of that here.
