Hello! I was one of the streamers who took part in Feedback Quest, and I'm here to leave some comments I had while playing.

I need to preface this with an apology. I may come off as an asshole in my comments. I don't intend to, but there are things about this game that legitimately pissed me off. I'm going to focus on the gameplay first before I get into that part, though.

This game made me think of Doom with its graphics. However, I didn't feel like it was as fun to play as Doom. Enemies often took way more shots to kill than it made sense to take (especially considering you're using a futuristic weapon) and there were times I couldn't find where to go because the structure of buildings hid pathways unless I looked at the right angle. If the game featured more weapons, it would potentially be more interesting.

Now to get into the meat. So this event is an international event. It has people from many parts of the world in it, and among those people are going to be differences in opinions on stuff. Because of this, a game that features real world political elements is generally not a good idea to submit as it can create flaring tensions with people who are against those political elements.

From here, I'm going to cut the crap and just state things clearly. As someone who lives in the West, I do not appreciate a pro-Russia & anti-West game. This isn't to say I'm anti-communist and pro-capitalist, because I'm not. I'm a believer in both systems and think that a combined system where the state controls common use things (like electricity, water, housing, internet, etc) while things that can have more variation and aren't necessities for modern day life would be made in the private sector under strong regulation. My issue is the fact that this is pro-Russia at a time when Russia is waging war against another nation that wanted to connect itself more to the western world. The tone of the game comes off as insulting to me as someone who lives in the western world. I could not in good conscious play this game beyond a certain point, nor can I give it a fair rating. I am biased and I acknowledge that.

This is nothing against you as a person, dev. This is just my opinion of the story of this game and what it pushes. I do see you have made other games, and in the future I would recommend avoiding putting a game with a blatant real world political message built into it.
