I tried to start with a few or more good things to say about your game, but I think the sound is the only good thing I find in this game.

I find the arm mechanic kills simplicity of this game by a lot. Reloading guns in VR game is easier than this. The dark environment in this game doesn't look too good. It's like the game is trying to hide some bad design or something but making everything dark is worse. NPC in this game is the only functional ai in this game.

I hope this would be useful feedback. Good job.

Amazing game! Interesting concept! The background and the foreground both were dark so you couldn't see everything that well but apart from that it's an amzing game! Good job!

Super neat concept and I felt like a mechanic getting my arm to work like that. Fun to enter, neat to master, great game!

I really like the idea of this. I do notice a lack of collaboration and AI, but the struggles for figuring out how the DooHickey works were fun and entertaining on there own!

Wow, this one is really good! Top-notch presentation, very cool concept, and great implementation. Impressive! The only issue I have with it is visibility: sometimes your character blends in too much with the environment, especially in the really dark areas. Also, on the arm itself, the lever used for firing is kinda hard to notice/distinguish, and it took me a while to figure it out even with the "Shoot" prompt.

Overall though, very good! One of my favourites so far. Great work!

Very atmospheric and nice visuals  overall,  not sure if the hand counts as AI  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯  still a top tier game in this jam in my opinion, and quite hard.  I'd love if you checked out my game too!

Amazing game, music is so epic that it makes me want to obliterate my enemies :D I like the art, but I think the player should be more visible which makes playing much more enjoyable. Also shooting with the hand was too manual,  I really liked playing with binary to talk with AI, but doing all the work: safety check, aiming and shooting kills the concept of AI. So make some things automatic and this game will be much more fun and enjoyable.

The gameplay is interesting and I love the style and atmosphere a lot, also the music slaps.

It's a bit tedious and enemies firing without even aiming at you, and the gun sound being so loud was unpleasant. 

Generally good job!

Thank you for the review!
