✦ AI summary
Players appreciate this game as a solid, entertaining experience with effective horror elements and good production value. Common praise includes the straightforward controls, manual save system, and the ability to exploit enemy AI on stairs for strategic advantage. Main criticisms center on the relatively short length and an abrupt ending that relies on a narrative trope some find unsatisfying, though the conclusion itself is noted as nice.
You already have a pistol at the start, just press "1". K&M layout described in note on the car front. Save anywhere, but saves are manual, don't forget to Escape, left mouse on "save" regularly. Not unique but a fine enough time, not that long. The ending is nice but somewhat abrupt, with a mite of what happens next, a kind of trope not specially to my liking. --- Disclosure and hints: I'm 70 y.o., for old gamers like me, if health packs are too few for you, health is Double, 100.00. Bullets 4 Bytes. If you make the mannikins or zombies go up the stairs after you, enter the corridor above and they just disappear to never bother you again. Alternatively, the slow ones you can dodge and trap closing doors on them.
I was pleasantly surprised how well made and entertaining this game, another plus is the game is actually pretty freaky with its horror elements.
