Well, lot of things ? Checked
Mood with pressure? Checked
Doom style FPS? Not really my jam, but for sure make their impression
The demons remind me of the "Bad souls" from the movie "Ghost" :D you even put a procedurally generated map ... Really impressive.
I wish there were more things to do other than run and hit enemies... maybe save some lost soul? maybe power ups? maybe loot?
- well, it's still a jam entry so .. not that much of time
yeah fair enough :D
Thank you for your entry
Thanks for the review !
I actually added a secondary objective in visiting the lamp Posts scattered around the map in my second update :)
Cool little game, reminds me a bit of Doom. If you want to continue on this project an ammo counter would be one of the things I'd add first.
I really don't like anything that makes gunplay unrealistic (crosshairs, ammo count), but visual cues are fine :)
I'm sitting on an update that adds bulletholes and blood so we can better see where the gunshots went.
An idea might be to add bullet casings on the gun's side... Thanks for playing !
btw the update is here :)
I like fast paced movement shooters. But the best tactic is to run backwards all the time because the demons are hard to hit. So i ended up just running in a circle outside of the city and not exploring much of the city itself. So maybe add a goal that requires you to explore the city. Other then that fun game ^^
yeah one of the first thing i'll do is leave bulletholes in the walls you shoot (+ wraith "blood" when you hit them) so you can calibrate your aim :)
then as a more long-term goal, flesh out the city so you can't run in circles and have to engage the enemies.
Thx for the feedback !
I actually added the secondary goal :) i already had in the game description but now it actually is reflected in the game !
Wasn't able to play or rate this because I have a Mac, but I caught your game on the Twitch stream, and I've got to say it looked really neat! I like how much you can explore the city as you go around and purge it of the phantoms. The hitboxes seemed a little strict, but a little tweak here and there and you've got something that has a lot of potential. Great work!
Hey, i have a mac build now :)

Thanks for making a Mac build! The city is fun to go around, although it's hard to explore when the ghouls are around, of course. Found myself often hitting the e key instead of the r key to reload, so I'd probably rekey it if I could (although I understand that the "r" stands for "reload," so it's the best default key for the action). Aiming wasn't as bad as I would have guessed from the stream, although like in the stream, I think I found going out of the main building area made managing the ghoul horde much easier for me.
Great job overall! There's a lot of polish here, and that parkour-ish shooter idea that you were aiming for is executed very well by what you made. I made sure to leave a good rating for a job well done!
The spinning at the start is a little weird, but the gameplay works well. Maybe a bit more 'oomph' could've been added to the gunplay, but it fits the theme well. Time to go purging some more souls!
yeah i wanted to have some kind of cut-scene that shows that you're surrounded to introduce the game, whipped this up then went to do something else and didn't have time to come back to it. Time constraint's a hard mistress :')
Nice little game you have there! 7.5/10
linux and windows?! DISCRIMINATION!
It does look pretty good though
I added a mac Build :)
i first thought "wth is he talking about?". Then after a few sec i remembered that MacOS exists. #MindBlow
