A downloadable game for Windows.

I adore this project very much. Very reminiscent of Cruelty Squad by it's general visual harshness and PAGAN game series (similar concept about exploring old "dead" virtual spaces in 3D with something more beneath the surface). Loved it, however i think i have some small feedback to provide:

  • Most of the guns just plain suck. I don't know if it was the intention, but the ones i found were really bad (the needle gun seemed to have random ammo, sometimes 0, sometimes nearly 50 and slow reloading. the scoped smg was just bad, 3 short burst with low damage and accuracy). Because of that i beat the entire game using nothing but the knife and the pistol, it got old really fast. The shotgun was fine, it was satisfying to use it in the end.
  • The writing is really good! I wish there were more interesting interactions with NPCs. For a supposedly "everything feels so real" simulation there seemed to be very little of talking NPCs and the ways to interact with them. Of course, quality is over quantity, and i think the ones the game has are fine as they are, but it'd be neat.
  • Enemies and their encounters/placement and the environments could use some general polish, but i think it's an obvious thing. Not much to say here as i didn't mind anything anyways.

Overall, i enjoyed my time with this project, i think the writing with the vibes take the cake for the parts of the game that impressed me the most, and i think if other parts were tweaked and polished a bit more, it might turn out great. This game has potential.
