I had fun in the later levels where it got more hectic. Super happy to see an FPS shooter. Keep at it!

Love the ambiance of the game, had a great feel all the way through. The combat could have used a bit more juice to really give that boomer shooter feel, some enemy reaction would have felt nice. The sensitivity made me sick at first, really had be careful not to move the mouse much. Nice variety of levels and enemies. Was a fun little experience start to finish. Nice job!

As everyone else had said i wish the mouse sensitivity was a bit lower, but i turned down my dpi so it wasnt bad! Fun game! I was impressed to see a shooter! :D

Thank you for playing our game!!! We wanted to do something a little different this time, so I'm glad it resonated with you :)

I agree on the mouse sensitivity. Having the arm to the side though was really smart! I think adding some more story components to better motivate the player's direction would have a big impact! Good job!

Mouse sensitivity issues aside, pretty fun game, you had me at "DOOM meets Shin Megami Tensei"

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game! And yes, both were a huge inspiration and I hope some of that came through in the game itself :)

Very cool and atmospheric game. As it's been said, maybe lowering the sensitivity would help or giving the player a slider. But I was very creeped out, this was fun!

Developer

Thank you so much for playing our game, I will pass the feedback to the rest of our team :)

Really good job on this 2.5d game. I liked that you put the firing arm to the left so the view was clear for the player.  Audio was good for the atmosphere. I like the choice to do a space skybox instead of a ceiling ala doom. Nice entry.

The graphics and audio were really good! I was genuinely creeped out while playing. I did think the sensitivity was too high, a setting to change this would have been great. Overall well done!
