- Slow movement speed.
- Zombies only attack when you are near them otherwise they just stand still.
- Small in-game text for interactions.
- The loop of gold for clothes and guns is not that appealing as the weapons can be found and you never really care what you look like.
- Slow pace to it all and the gold earning is borderline on the grinding scale.

- Having to manually pick up everything is a chore.
- Gets very repetitive with little in the way of variation.
