I should preface by mentioning that I got a warning about a known issue with my amd driver. IDK if this affects anything.

- The rain effect is cool. I hate it at first, but it has grown on me.
- While the game is not hard, restarting from the beginning can be frustrating.
- Sometimes the enemies got bugged and and became stuck to each other or to the doorways.
- Also, it doesn't affect anything, but I am curious about the reasoning behind the default keybinds.

A little lost at the beginning, but it is explained well enough to be able to progress, Nice job!

I really liked the immersion in the city at night. The atmosphere with the voice at the beginning is on point! The only problem I had was that my 'W' (forward) key wasn't working for some reason and I didn't get far. Aside from that well done with Unreal!
