✦ AI summary

Players consistently praise this game as an engaging and fun arcade shooter with solid gameplay mechanics and a surprisingly thoughtful underlying message about violence and morality. Common complaints are minimal, though some note the game is genuinely challenging and demands skill to master, which players seem to view as a positive difficulty curve rather than a flaw.

I couldn’t find any dopamine from any video games so I played this game and it gave me dopamine. I die a lot but that’s really a skill issue more than anything else

Definitely a game to keep an eye on. While it seems to be a simple first person shooter, it actually conveys a much deeper message about mankinds senseless aggression towards the unknown, and, in a Yoko Taro-esque manner, forces the player to look inward about what kind of person they might be. Can you do it? Can you really kill these aliens you know nothing about? Can you shoot them with a Railgun 500 times and blow them up with bombs? F*** yeah you can, and it's awesome Do you have a dream too?

Genuinely enjoyed this game :) It was simple to understand how to play it, but playing it was still pretty challenging. Really determined to beat it now. 10/10 would recommend!
