Very good game! At start I did not understand how I died and I wouldn't be paying attention to my own bullets either. But this could have been also the fact that I kept trying to read all he quotes on the wall and the combat text quotes, and there was a good variety of these too so I guess suffering from success?
After a few tries (not hard, not easy, maybe it could be a tad more intuitive at start) the game opened up and with a bit of grind I'm free now, at least my mind is.
All in all quite an unique experience, where theme, sound, visuals and writing go hand in hand to offer a bit more; you get to stop and think for a second 'what did the author mean there', and that's a good thing to have in a game.
Gratz, well done!
