I am writing this review for the 2nd time so it will be (much) shorter
I love this so much, this feels like a doom clone in every good way
Music is good, feeling is good, movement is spot on, challenge is also very well balanced
Only thing I didn't get is the weird wall in the projector room, does it have a usage?

I recorded playing games with commentary, and your game is one of them.
Here's the link to the whole DD50 folder:

I gotta go back and closely examine the easter egg now.
Still very fun.
I like the more obvious Shotgun placement.
The tiny little jump feels weird.
The mouse movement feels slightly smoothed or delayed somehow.
Shotgun ammo is very limited until you get upstairs which combined with the difficulty lead to me just sniping with the pistol a bunch.
Walking up and down stairs feels bad, smooth up/down movement would be better.
Some huge difficulty spikes where the game just throws a ton of enemies at you.
Level design is pretty good but still a bit large and open I feel.
Fun boomer shooter! The controls were responsive and movement felt good. The shotgun is satisfying to use. Some of the enemies were a bit tough - the "dogs" had a lot of health for how fast they were. The "demon" enemies (the flying ones and the ones that spit lava) do a ton of damage, although I guess these enemies were supposed to be harder than normal. Also WTF is up with those enemies that attack you with their crotch lol. Btw your levels rock. Seriously, the level design is pretty good!
I didn't get super far into the demo as I found it kinda difficult, it's been a while since I played a shooter. I think it plays well, the shotgun seems alright which is a good benchmark for whether not a shooter is gonna be good. The enemies really creepy looking, especially the ones that are just heads on legs. Some mid-level checkpoints or something would be a nice addition as well.
