Cons
Con Mostly just a proof of concept
The game was made within a week as part of a game jam. The developers built the game on 3 central ideas - gun handling mechanics, randomized levels, and unordered storytelling. As such, the game is lacks polish or purpose.
Con Can be disorienting
The game often will use low or no lighting, making it difficult to see, joined with music that makes you feel out of place due to a weird rhythm and overall the game may make players feel disorientated.
