They're Alive!

So um... I think it's safe to say the game just doesn't work. Loves crashing, combat has barely any feel, you die either never or immediately, and just isn't fun. Which is a shame because I love the theming and wish I could play it more

A very nice game with great details and turning point in the story. I dont know what engine they used for this game ( maybe source ? ) but its a cool one.

Slavic They Live. Avoid the English voice acting, it sounds like turbo butt cheeks. Melee combat gets thrown in to the point of repetition for the first level and a half and may entirely put people off. But after acquiring the first gun, the game suddenly becomes fun. Solid, engaging level architecture is sprinkled throughout those five short levels. Your save may become corrupted after a random game crash towards the end of the game, so approach with caution. Overall, actually not bad despite various mechanical quirks. A hidden gem amongst the jank.

wanted to like this one for some reason but alas, fate got in the way. positives: looks okay! kind of reminds me of like, a super budget FEAR or something at times, which is great because i think FEAR is a great-looking game. i also like the theme (ahhh secret aliens and you can only see them with your They Live glasses which is wat this game's title is a pretty clear, uh... homage to. homage may be stretching it, though.) negatives: completely nonsensical and disjointed story that defuses how surface-level fun the alien theme is. really rough start (the first twenty minutes of this maybe 90 minute long game are melee ONLY) that leads to a pretty fun middle that did genuinely have me liking the game... but then it gives way to a really monotonous and repetitive endgame that consists of the two most annoying enemies in the game being thrown at you forever in a series of corridors while you are constantly scarce on ammo, which just feels like a drag. most of the weapons feel bad and for some reason every aspect of movement feels terrible - you are SO ungodly slow and when you look around it feels like your mouse is moving on a grid or something. the glasses gimmick does not actually DO anything other than enable story progression at two or three moments. and worst of all... it's unstable and if it crashes there is some chance that your saves get bricked and just make your game crash when you try and load them. this happened to me literally 5-10 minutes away from the end of the game and i could not be assed to replay it to get to that point, but i did look up the ending and the last boss looked terrible so no big loss. it's kind of a shame that it just does not come together because there's a lot here i am so close to liking, even in all its no-budget glory, but it does not quite work.

Я бы может и смог кому-то порекомендовать эту игру, вроде как треш-шутер это интересно для многих. Но с*у*ка, она просто не работает. Я кое как ее запустил, но потом просто вылет за вылетом, и я так и не смог ее пройти до конца. Не понимаю как такое можно выпускать в стим, полнейший кал.

you're better off just getting your hands on Monolith's Condemned somehow, I know it's delisted on steam but I'm sure there's still a way to get the game whether its by a key or just GOG. This slav jank aint even worth a minute of your precious time.
