Es interesante corto pero lo recomiendo
Absolute Cinema 100%
I found this while looking for first-person Metroidvanias... sortof "Prime-vanias" if you will... and the tags matched up regardless of how accurate they are. I didn't read the store page before playing so I went in completely blind not knowing how long or short this would be. With that said, in spite of how short it actually was, I was not disappointed. Felt like a tech demo for a boomer shooter metroidvania-lite with clear inspirations taken from Warhammer 40k and... Escher I guess. There's a portal system that almost felt like it was straight out of Prey (2006) or something, and I loved how it was used for puzzles here. I'd absolutely love to play a full-length metroidvania like this. Probably won't happen, but a man can dream. And if Dreadtome 2 ever happens and actually is a full-length metroidvania type thing (or even if it isn't and is just more like a boomer shooter), I wanna be there for it.

短いゲームですが、クオリティが高くてめちゃくちゃ楽しいです。遊ぶ価値あり!
Very nice shooter/puzzle game
Çok zevkliydi keşke daha uzun olsaydı .
для бесплатной игры просто идеально! один минус у игры недороботаный сюжет но если бы сюжет сделать подольше то я бы даже дал какие-нибудь 10 USD но если бы...
Trippy reality bending portals, one hell of a thumper for a gun (hidden rocket launcher somewhere), lovecraft vibes, funs smooth, great graphics, gameplay, just everything. AND IT'S FREE!? Score! Triple A titles can barely scrape this quality and this was made by some college students for a project!
For a FREE Game this is fantastic!
That was awesome! I loved it!
