a fun puzzle shooter for you to rack your brain over for a couple hours. there's enough added complexity to keep the pretty simple gameplay interesting and continuously improving throughout, i think the last level was my favorite.

the aesthetics of this game are its strongest asset in my opinion, they have an eerie PS1 survival horror quality to them which create an appropriately oppressive vibe for the subject matter.

there's a leaderboard for you to compare your scores with your friends and other players so you could squeeze some more enjoyment out of that, but i prefer goals that are a bit more concrete, such as a Trackmania-like medal system for example. Either way by the end of this i felt like i was done, it's fun but doesn't reach the heights of a Hotline Miami where it makes you wanna just keep playing until you've mastered it.

oh and the story was there i guess, in reality the aesthetic and music do all the heavy lifting to invest you, the narrative itself is just sort of superfluous in my opinion, you're killing bad guys cause they were bad to you, that's all you need to know, and honestly you didn't even need to know that, maybe keeping it more ambiguous could've added a layer of intrigue to it.
