You play a survivor in post-apocalyptic Arizona who hears a human voice on the radio and sets out to find other survivors amid a zombie outbreak.
This VR first-person shooter has you aim and handle weapons with motion controllers, fight approaching zombies, and search environments for ammunition and other supplies. The campaign moves through southwestern settings including canyons and mines.
The campaign is divided into shorter sections that form a full narrative. You can explore, manage limited ammunition and consumables, and find different weapons; reviews also describe occasional objectives such as locating keys or parts to progress. The game supports solo play, while its co-op and multiplayer modes were discontinued on July 1, 2025.
Players who enjoy the game often point to the immediacy of shooting zombies in VR, satisfying weapon use, and the tension of fighting approaching hordes. Some also recall the campaign fondly as an early VR favorite or enjoy playing it with friends. Other reviews find it dated, short, or awkward to control, and several specifically criticize the loss of multiplayer access.
