Really cool game, I liked the overall feel and gameplay
The music is perfectly unsettling and creates a great "wrong" feeling. Much more atmospheric than a typical shooter!
I worked on a similar project in a Doom-style engine a few months ago (never released it though), I'm a big fan of working with these technical limitations, and you really captured that vibe. You nailed it!
Please provide any feedback in the comments below.
This page will be used for testing in both alpha and beta stages until release
