Introduction
Hazard Levels is a co-op survival extraction* horror game developed and published by Wales Interactive. The very first loading screen has flashing lights, so I would not recommend this to anyone who experiences issues with that sort of thing.
*I’m not sure it actually counts as extraction, just what it feels like to me
Gameplay
The game starts in a bar with the objective of getting to the bus. No explanations, no tutorials, nothing. Luckily, you move with the standard WASD controls. The bus then sends you on a mission to retrieve ingredients. I couldn’t find anything to interact with, nothing to carry or collect. There were “things” around, with glitchy money notifications on top, you could push, but while a zombie is chasing you, the precision required to do it would not be worth it. I somehow managed to lift a chair with a gravity gun, but couldn’t even figure out how to throw it (if even possible).
Positives
Still in development
Decent graphics
Negatives
No tutorial
There is 0 explanations
Camera glitches
Video, Audio & Sound
The game does look nice, apart from the flashing lights. The MC is a fox-head on a man's body, which is interesting. Other characters also appear to be animal heads on human bodies. A rather appealing style imho.

The sounds are good enough; enemies snarl, metal clinks, everything that should be there is. The music is fitting for a horror game and tries to induce an eerie feeling.
Personal Thoughts
I didn’t enjoy this at all. The complete lack of any explanations makes me think this is an early Alpha build and not something you would share with the public.
Conclusion
The game tries to be a “cooler” Phasmophobia and fails. I wasn’t expecting much and still ended up disappointed. I would not recommend it.
