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.
good gem
Honestly, for a game this short, this is one of my favorite games I have ever played. There is so much story and challenges for runs. I recommend this game for people that like short story games.
An excellent free 2D take on the Resident Evil / Survival Horror Genre.
Good game! Well made graphics and fun puzzles :)
