Games great! Nice level design and great guns! The dual mp5ks absolutely slap! Its got real charm and you can tell the dev had a good time making this! Well worth the cheap asking price! Playing the other episodes isn't necessary., so don't let that put you off. Will be keeping my eye of future games from this dev!5 found this helpful
Fun little game! Nice enemy variety. I liked how the little transitions between events worked. My minor feedback would be that enemies are too easy to abuse around doors, and that I would like a toggle option for sprinting instead of holding it. I get the feeling the developer was a fan of Blood and Cultic with the vibes of this one.3 found this helpful

EDIT AFTER UPDATE: Still horrible. Final boss is still unbalanced as hell. Plus it has 3 phases. Also forgot to mention the annoying little bug enemies who are nearly impossible to hit, bullet spongy for no reason AND explode on death, damaging you if you're close. Yeah, balanced my a$$. Adding sprint didnt even help. More like a brisk walk. Was a passable little shooter until you start playing the same exact mansion, basement and hallways levels for like 3 or 4 times. Then the final boss is absolute bullsh!t. Nowhere near enough health, spongy, throws tons of enemies at you, plus 3 giant enemies with the final final boss. No sprint so getting away from enemy fire is impossible. Do not play this garbage, even for the cheap price.
