+ GFX are decent

++ Music and sound design is good

++ Cool idea

- - Controls/gameplay don't feel all that good, probably because you can't see much because of the split screen - I use a 15.6" laptop, game is probably intended to play on larger screens

- Unnecessarily performance heavy because of unreal engine

- - Not very engaging

Bugs I found:
No way to unpause without choosing an option
If you pause while in the bottom view you have to restart or quit (can't go to a checkpoint)
Sometimes "F" wouldn't swap views
Timer was broken and I got multiple overlaid times

General gameplay notes:
Going up stairs was slow and frustrating
I really liked the contrast between the two viewpoint's atmospheres!

Overall review:
There didn't seem to be so much of a game here as much as a proof of concept, but I could definitely see some puzzle elements that you could build upon later. The quotes and set pieces hinted to a bigger picture which was cool. I liked the music, atmosphere, and dual-viewpoint stuff! Just wish there was more to do and that you had more time to expand on this theme.

Thanks a lot for your review! 

The stairs were supposed to make you feel old and slow but I agree there might have been a tad too many for a game of this scale.

Maybe we'll expand on this concept at some point :)
