Definitely fun game if you are into shooting and 98% walking around the beautifully designed environment.
Now, I don't know if it is the randomly generated map of the game, which cause my experience to be a lot less tense, but maybe there is a deeper issue with the game. I spend 4 minutes just wandering around and towards the last minute or so I encountered the monster and managed to eradicate them in 5 shots. The rest of the game was just that.
Besides the above, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, sound design, environment and that's that. I think updating the game and adding more monsters or maybe making them spawn more frequently (of course balance is the key) would improve the game. Personally, it was absolutely not challenging for me, because as I said, the entire game I was running around doing nothing.
Best of luck with the future updates.
Thanks for your detailed report :)
Basically around 20 enemies are usually spawned. However, it can happen that they are too far away from the player and you hardly come across one.
I'm trying to find a compromise between atmosphere and shooting.
Anyway, thanks for playing and the feedback, I think there will be a little update in the next few days ;)
Version 1.1 is now available, I fixed some bugs and added new content.
