I really liked this old games vibe like first silent hill or something similar. And the fact that you made it with quake engine is pretty neat.\n\nBut to the most constructive part. Shooting controls are not very convenient. You get used to them in first 5 minutes but it is still a bit frustrating. Levels at some point became really big and pretty empty and it is a bit boring to run all the way back to collect a pistol or medkit.\n\nI actually completed half of the game when I realized that I have multiple inventory slots! To this point I was only using the first one. I think you should write something about slots in description.","likes":1,"format":"md"},{"author_name":"shp","author_uid":"1083802","time":"2018-04-24T14:08:56Z","epoch":1524578936,"modified":1524578936,"text":"@Jima Thanks for the feedback, updated description!!
