It is largely a wasted opportunity. Very few things are cooler than space-faring intelligent undead (or necromorphs). However, undead nature of your civilization barely manifests in the game. There is something like 2 or 3 flavor messages/events, and that is it. What you get is mostly cosmetic pack with some sorta-kinda-menacing looking creatures, ships and an advisor voice. Most of the alien portraits do not really look like an undead or zombie, and their "necromorphic" nature is only subtly hinted at in the artwork. Nothing looks like a lich, for example. Advisor voice is a female voice that is sorta "ethereal", but I wouldn't call it amazing. Hivemind voice had more character. Past the small number of flavor messages you get, a necrophage race will play as any other civ.
This is a hybrid of a walking simulator and a movie, with minimum amount of gameplay. The good points of the game are its setting. The world is interesting. Unfortunately the writing failed to deliver the maximum possible impact for me, and while the game started out interesting, the longer it went on, the more I felt like everything is falling apart. At the end I was looking at ton of plot holes, some event turns felt forced and overly contrived and so on. The ending felt forced. It didn't help that the protagonist is one of the least likable characters I ever seen in a videogame. Gameplay component in this game is incredibly weak, and while developers tried to add minigames and tasks, they have very low difficulty and are not interesting. Additionally, protagonist walks incredibly slowly, and there's no way to run. This makes moving between locations very tedious. The developers chose polygonal visuals as stylistic (not low poly, but polygonal. Think "Orwell" for exxample). Unfortunately, they do not look that great. If you're looking to buy this one, expect a movie with walking sequences occasional "puzzle", where puzzles will be always easy and not particularly interesting. The writing probably has its fans, but could've been better.
