This was VERY well done. loved it. Took few tries to get used to shotgun mechaics, but only minute or so. I liked gun angling when player looks left or right. HL sounds brings up nostalgia, myst and visuals are amizingly fitting, i liked it. second monsters are sometime WAY TO FAST, but eh, ig you already know. I gonn follow your project, i like this.
Second in the line up. A great little demo. The more involved reload really adds to the tension. And I did struggle with it for a bit. But overall an interesting chunk of horror. Look forward to the full game. Really scratches that full conversion Gold Source era itch I get from time to time. Good work!
I may be a little biased when it comes to zombies, but that was a lot of fun. Loved the reloading mechanic, it felt really fluid. Sad that the full version will never see the light of day, but I'll be on the lookout incase a miracle happens.. Awesome job U.P !
I made a video on your game if you're interested :)
This was very good, congratulations, I liked the mechanic of reloading the weapon, and the beautiful graphics, I hope there is a sequel, I was interested in this universe, so keep it up
so good, bro, this mechanics of shotgun is so fresh for me, thats what i need in shooters. visuals are awesome, feel of movement is rly good, like source but better (imo). waiting for big project from this demo
played this on a 3 scary games, really enjoyed it, great concept and scares. Combat added a great atmosphere. I did fall through the map at one point, but aside from that, great work!
The mechanic you implemented to reload the shotgun is so amazingly well put, original and fun! Please keep developing or start working on another project, I'd be so sad if this mechanic wasn't used on a larger game!
Really good game, havent jump out of my sit in a while, and this game literally got my adrenaline so mess up, that i need to get up and play instead of staying sitted, keep up the hard work...
i was worried this was gonna feel too derivative when i heard half life sound effects at the start but honestly? i'm pleasantly surprised
the combat manages to be both stressful and still fun, the experience of desperately running around trying to reload your shells and forgetting to cock the shotgun when you're about to shoot was great, and i enjoyed having to time your hits with the melee weapon while still trying to dodge out of the way and maneuver through the cramped space using only your memory, it's a good combination of pre-planning and thinking on the fly
the enemies that charge at you but slow down if you shoot them are well designed, they absolutely destroy you if you panic but they're not that bad if you just calm down and aim (which i think makes a lot of sense for this type of game)
the boss feels like you're trying to balance keeping your distance while navigating the environment, making sure you have enough ammo, and actually doing enough damage to the boss (this is a good thing, i enjoyed it) - i ended up landing on the strategy of killing the crawler asap and then trying to avoid the leg guys, which was very fun
my main gripe with this game is still the sound effects (and, honestly, the memes at the start, though they could still contribute to a more lighthearted tone if that's what you're going for) - the game ends up feeling insecure about its own premise with the references to half life and i feel like it can stand on its own
it could also use a story, but honestly, combined with the memes, "you get home and there's a bunch of weird zombies you gotta kill" ends up somehow working as a good backdrop for the gameplay. i'm not sure how that would scale to a longer 3-4 hour game, which i think would be the ideal playtime for this personally (assuming you add more bosses and expand on the combat in the next sections, maybe with more weapons that have neat reloading mechanics, like a single shot bolt action hunting rifle or something)
i'd be very interested in playing through a full game that had a few hours of content if you decide to keep working on this, it's really fun
This was a fun little game dude! The shotgun mechanics were great, its to bad you say you hate this, it had condemned and the old ps2 the thing vibes! I would say just add a riffle, a pistol, with the same mechanics and a few more monster types and you could make a whole fun game! Anyway here is my gameplay video!
Good demo, although i don't expect a lot for the full game. If the demo took me like 10 or 15 minutes to beat i doubt that the finished game would be more than an hour.
I have some stuff that i liked:
The shotgun mechanics are niche and it enhances the tension in combat. It would work wonderfully if it was implemented in a survival horror game (In fact this whole game would work as a survival horror game).
The atmosphere and background """music""" is great and enhances the horror aspect even further. I was pan-shitted scared all the way through because i was expecting a jumpscare at any second.
The models of all the monsters (Minus the torso-less one because it's just 2 legs) are nice.
Overall all the models and textures (while pixelated) are nice and they make for one consistent artstyle.
The beginning section is good and the shift to the apartment is drastic (In a good way) and caught me off guard the first time i play it.
Now what i didn't liked:
While i don't have any issues with the mechanics regarding the shotgun and i believe that the enemies take juuuuuuuuuuuuuuust the right amount of hits to take down, i think that you get very few shotgun pellets considering the amounts of hits that the enemies take. (Maybe if you increase the amount of shells you get from 3 to 4 or 5 maybe even 6, i would be fine with it).
The baton is almost useless. It works as a melee weapon but the wind up before it hits makes it quite risky to use it. The ideal way that i found to use it, when you are fighting the torso-less enemies for example, is to back off. But the rooms are quite tiny, meaning that you will bump your back against the wall and get hit constantly. You can try to hit him if you circle strafe, but that is also quite hard because you are slow when you walk. I believe that by simply making the wind up slightly faster it would make the weapon slightly better. (You don't even need to buff the damage).
The final room. It took me like 4 or 5 times and it's because you have so many things to focus on. The 3 or 4 torso-less enemies, the big sirenhead wanna be who sucks up damage and the big monster without the head guarding the exit which rushes at you when he sees you. It would had been better if it was only the sirenhead wanna be in some sort of boss fight or if you lowered the health of the damm thing to make the room slightly easier.
Memes. It doesn't bother me the cat meme at the beginning and the one that appears when you enter the apartment made me chuckle, but i feel that they can be immersion breaking and slightly out of place. To be fair tho, i didn't noticed any other memes after the apartment one and the ridiculous premise doesn't bother me.
Too many Half-Life sounds effects. (That doesn't even bother me, i am just worried that Valve will sue you for using them lol).
Overall tho, i enjoyed my time and this demo doesn't overstay his welcome. I wonder how the full game will be...
Edit: I just realized that one of the tags of the game is "Survival Horror"... i feel like an idiot.
Good lord. My man probably spent more time on this comment than what the game had to offer. I don't know what I did to deserve the precence of the Feedback God, but I appreciate it from the bottom of my heart.
Unfortunately, I hate this game so a full release is very unlikely.
Hey Developer, you got my attention with the smoke ngl. I played it fully and to be quite honest I liked it alot and want to play the full release, loved the retro aspect, the silent hill-esque vibe with a touch of Half Life. Great game, enjoy my video on it. 9/10

Gameplay PT-BR
I wish the evil pants enemy's attack was a kick that I could sidestep. Reminds me of that one jimmy neutron episode with the jeans that come to life
Most accurate Kouvola simulator

I'll definitely be keeping an eye out for the full release, one of my favorite games in tonight's stream/video!
It is a nice horror/action game. Easy to play and very fun. Nice!
