Absolutely incredible game.

I did have an issue with finding the Rectory 2nd floor key. I don't know if there was a hint I missed, but I had to turn to a walkthrough to find it.

The horror atmosphere really got to me, especially in the Church and the Mines. There aren't any overt jump-scares, but a few of the times when a door would automatically shut, or a floorboard would creak, it would give me quite a fright.

I nearly quit at the section after the Church tape, as it was getting a bit much for me, but I'm glad I stuck with it, as the ending is superb.

I rate it 9/10.

You can find the gate key in the room with the record player (walk in via the front doors, and it's the first door on the left), and it can be used to open the gate. It's on the side of the bookshelf, on the opposite side of the room from the ping-pong table. Best of luck!

No, sorry! I've never been an AOL user.

Drones are okay (about half speed is enough to outrun them, and they seem to only deal minor damage to your power), but the Shrikes need some serious nerfing. You need to go full speed just to outrun them, but with how often they spawn, and how large their detection radius is (once you've spotted them, they've spotted you), how much power they take on hit (half of your power), it's near impossible to keep your power on and avoid their constant spawns.

On the other hand, though, I'd totally love a more-fleshed out version or sequel to this game.

Fun, at first, but the enemy spawn rates past the Comm Relay make it too hectic for my tastes. It's a steep difficulty curve, once you get to that point.
