It would be more interesting if the humans do resistance.

Hmmm. You are the monster that the newspaper reports about, and dehumanizes in order to allow the rest of us the luxury of not dealing with the social problems that cause mass shootings, etc. And the game dehumanizes you in the same way that mass media does.

Am I reading way too much into this?

Love how you interpreted the theme, thumbs up!

@aberdeenphoenix: Yep, in addition to what you said, the game is also a critic to the audience of modern mass media whose want to know, in an obsessive way, every gruesome details of every crime news.

Puts you in an awkward place! Sickening sounds and really does work with the theme.

Puts you in an awkward place! Sickening sounds, mad music and really does work with the theme.

What fun! The music makes you want to keep running around! I must have hit around 60-70 pedestrians, when a cop pushed me through a wall, I fell out of game bounds, and could not do anything. All round fun to play even if a violent game.

Neat game! I included it in part 10 of my Ludum Dare 33 Compilation video series, if you would like to take a look :) https://youtu.be/Jf2dZyQpNFE

Interesting concept. It reminds me a bit of Bastion with the commentary, albeit it tells you what to do. I think it'd be interesting to have the NPCs try to interfere with the story so that the headlines end up being inaccurate.

The difficulty could have ramped up quicker (by having the police come in earlier). The policemen were pretty strong IMO. The music was a bit too happy. I liked the idea of a newspaper narrating what you were gonna do. The game had a nice mood.

Nice Doom-like game :)
I'm sorry I couldn't judge audio, but I can't make noise right now... :/
