About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a moody, survival-focused outbreak series with emotional stakes and surprises, similar to The Society; not for you if you need tight logic, consistently smart choices, and fast pacing.

Pros: strong atmosphere; engaging post-apocalyptic setting; some compelling backstories | Cons: plot holes; inconsistent rules; slow, repetitive stretches
