Mawgate is a short (about an hour) and free survival horror game with nice art style and nice music. My only problem is the game design in one sitting but there is no confirmation button when you accidentally press quit when you die. But other that it's a great game.

Has potential but the aiming is not good and ruined it for me.

Really like this game. Really fun puzzles. Way too long to not have a save system though. Also the safe has a bug you need to reload the map on.

Great little game! My first run lasted about an hour so its not very long but its enthralling for its whole run. Had me wanting more from the dev team with either a similar type of game with a longer story or another short idea!

Game is good but the gun mechanics are awful and have left me unable to finish the game. You can aim at a target and shoot what would otherwise be a perfect shot (even at point blank range) and the bullets refuse to hit the target. It's not worth the frustration of trying over and over again when the game is the only real obstacle in the way of gameplay progression.

Boltgun 2 price: buy the sequel, or the cheap first game?

The Boltgun 2 price has no cheaper route on launch day — our record shows one listing, unmoved since September. The first game is the bargain, but a smaller one than it was.
