“Super worth the cost. Fun creepy FPS game. Just enough extra mechanics so it's not point and shoot but not complex. Fantastic art choices and satisfying sound design. Can't recommend enough.”
“I just...can't say how much I love this game. It's been said already in reviews, it isn't very long, nor is it too hard to acquire all the game has. But it keeps on giving, with it's art direction and gameplay. It's…”
“i love this game as an avid competitive fps enthusiast, the main gameplay loop is fun and engaging while also somehow therapeutic and relaxing even though it offers you many opportunities to be outright horrifying,…”

“4 hours play time review. I wouldn't write a review so quick except this game is SO CHEAP and so good. For 5 bucks full price this is a STEAL even if it had just a 1 level demo. AND if you like it you have many more…”
“Very good little game! The lightning is interesting and you need to take your time to dial it in!!! The sound is great, immersion super and enemies get hard. I first downloaded it for free on the web but it was so good…”

“Super high quality for a super low price. Lots of fun. Good time waster. Doesn't take long to unlock everything, but it's still fun to play after you've unlocked everything. 100% worth the price, I'd strongly recommend…”

“Neat little game that left me wanting more, but optimisation sucks. In some places I'm literally getting less than 60FPS (mainly in apartments), that should not be happening.”

“I really like this game. I Really recommend it. BUT it would be very cool that this game could be playable with friend online (multiplayer) and with more platform available to play together.”
“This is a very fun little FPS game that makes me wish there was a PVP or larger PVE aspect. The combat is very tight, responsive, and easily worth $5. Besides the fun combat, this feels like you're in the Matrix, but…”

— a player, Steam review · 34 hrs played“Great game, needs more content, lots of opportunity here for the dev. Please fix the exagerated leaning though.”
— a player, Steam review · 6 hrs played“Once you get your hands on a 60 round mag for AR, life feels good. Until it starts jamming every 10 rounds fired because it's overheated to the max because you were already having fierce firefight. And the worst time for a gun to jam is exactly, in the middle of fierce firefight.”
