Set in a zombie-overrun Arizona, the campaign follows a darkly humorous survivor searching for answers with Buddy, a dog companion.
Move through linear environments, search for supplies and keys, and battle zombies with firearms, machetes, and other melee weapons. Weapons are handled physically in VR, including manual reloading, while Buddy can be sent to attack enemies and help retrieve or carry items.
Scavenge materials to craft explosives, and manage a limited loadout of weapons and items. The campaign can be played solo or in two-player co-op; a separate Horde mode supports up to four players.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy Buddy’s practical help and playful interactions, alongside the satisfying feel of aiming, shooting, and reloading weapons in VR. The campaign’s humor and story also appeal to some, while co-op is a highlight for players who enjoyed tackling the zombie encounters with a friend. These positives are not universal; some reviewers found the controls frustrating or the environments repetitive.
