What players say

A VERY easy recommendation for anyone interested in classic Resident Evil. Don't let the cute art style fool you - this game has everything from rewarding exploration with well-thought level design, resource management, and surprisingly varied enemies. The combat also has more depth than I've expected, so playing this was engaging all the way through. It's unlikely to actually scare you, but it's one hell of a good...

Significant upgrade over the previous entry. I fully enjoyed this. Great selection of weapons, varied enemy types that require different strategies, multiple bosses, clever puzzles, rewarding exploration, replayability with multiple endings, innovative in its shooting mechanics. It is sincerely hard to fault - though it could do with more horror, if that's the sort of thing you're interested in. Well worth a go.

Man this game exceeded every expectation. Its a legit RE clone with excellent combat, puzzles, and level design. Absolutely worth the play its as good as any of the other survival horror indies. The chibi art style does this game a disservice, I overlooked it for years thinking it was trash mobile style game but I was dead wrong.
