This game could be fun... But ultimately, it becomes a bit of a slog pretty quickly, especially because any mistake will end in your death. This wouldn't be so bad, except death means starting a whole level over unless you buy a special save item, and occasionally the game crashes during loads, causing you to lose process on your whole run. It was rare enough of an occurrence that on its own, the crashing would be a mild annoyance, but because the game is so unforgiving, and not a whole lot changes from moment to moment, it just becomes replaying the same sort of gameplay over and over.

Essentially, this has a similar feel to Streets of Rogue, but without the polish, and without the variety in modes of play or the tongue-in-cheek fun, which ultimately leads me to say. Play Streets of Rogue instead, at least with Streets of Rogue you can bring a friend along for the ride.

I guess I was expecting something more fast-paced along the lines of Teleglitch, since it presents itself in a similar view and manner (only your view and light shows what is available and there are a lot of corners), and although it has a lot of mechanics like crafting, bait, etc, it all gets mundane very quickly as the process is just mostly: avoid, walk slowly, or run past enemies that kill you in one hit. It's a cute game but doesn't have much to offer, and what is most important for a game of this genre is replayability which this game doesn't have much because for the most part you are rushing through it and the processes feel samey.
