Steam reviews

What players say

Most players who recommend it praise its atmosphere, visuals and humane take on civilian volunteers, while critics call it short, thin in gameplay and politically one-sided.

Most reviewers recommend the game, and many praise its heavy, melancholic atmosphere, detailed sound design and graphics that look remarkably good for a free title. Players say the story follows a young volunteer delivering aid in a besieged city and his inner doubts, and many appreciate that it shows civilians suffering rather than glorifying combat. Some players say it is too short, that the gameplay is limited to slow walking and driving, and that dialogue drags. Optimisation and stability problems come up in several reviews, including crashes and performance drops. The most sharply criticised point is political framing: a number of reviewers see a pro-Russian slant, while others defend it as a humanitarian story. Recent reviews are too few to show any shift in opinion.

Praised

  • Atmosphere and sound

    Players describe a heavy, melancholic mood carried by realistic sound design, radio chatter, distant explosions and silence.

    Many players
  • Visuals for a free game

    Reviewers call the graphics impressive and realistic, often calling them better than many paid games.

    Many players
  • Humane view of civilians

    Players value that the game shows ordinary people and volunteers suffering in war and avoids portraying one side as monsters.

    Many players
  • Inner conflict of the protagonist

    Players praise the portrayal of a volunteer who doubts his actions and wrestles with his conscience.

    Some players

Criticised

  • Too short

    Reviewers say the story takes about an hour or two and ends before it has developed.

    Many players
  • One-sided political framing

    Reviewers see a pro-Russian slant, criticising the omission of Russia's role in the invasion and the portrayal of Ukrainians.

    Many players
  • Little gameplay

    Players describe slow walking and driving with few interactions and dialogue that drags on, so it feels more like a walking simulator.

    Many players
  • Poor optimisation and bugs

    Reviewers report low frame rates on good hardware, unstable performance and bugs such as broken controls or lost progress.

    Some players
Who it suits
Players who want a short, atmospheric story about war from a civilian perspective and do not mind minimal gameplay.
Who should skip it
Players looking for action, deep mechanics or an even-handed account of the conflict should skip it.
