Death is only the beginning. Crawl from your grave and gear up to fight your way through the ranks of a mysterious and twisted cult. You, your guns, and your dynamite will have to shoot, slide, blast, duck, dodge, and maybe throw a gib or two to survive in this old-school-inspired shooter.

The value story
August 2026 is where it bottomed out, at $6.99. It has been discounted 14 times in the 4 years tracked here, typically at 20 percent off, with about 12 weeks between sales. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended about 6 weeks ago. The math puts its BANGER price at $8.34. The record reaches that level 14 times.
Value puts it in the top 6 percent of the games it competes with. It is cheaper than 61 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 98 percent. Among the games that feel like it, DOOM 64 ($4.99, scores 87) beats it on value, while it beats HROT ($19.99, scores 67).
Steam's global achievement data puts about 2 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 4.8-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. Of the 521 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 7 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written October 2022 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 90 percent of the 739 reviews written there were positive, against 97 percent overall, and those are 9 percent of everything written about it.
4.8 hours to finish it, 10 to exhaust it. The completionist tail is 2.1 times the campaign.

Had an absolute blast playing this, chapter one was a like a love letter to classic shooters like Blood and ROTT, love the story and atmosphere, the soundtrack is fantastic and the gameplay is well balanced, The kinetic combat combined with exploration is a joy to play. I used to make maps in the build engine in another life, so I'm blown away at the effort it must take for a single dev to put this together, it must...
Fantastic boom-shoot, well worth the price tag. Levels are fun to explore, enemies are well-integrated in the level design (none of this "enemies just teleport into the arena until X amount die" stuff). Weapon upgrade choices are real choices, so be careful how you spend your weapon parts! You won't get enough to upgrade everything. Would've benefited from enemies with more varied silhouettes and abilities. Shooting...
It should be renamed to Plagiaristic it's not a horrible game but I don't think plagiarism should be supported and this is just such a ripoff of so many games that came before. Blood, obviously, but also Stalker, Resident Evil, Painkiller etc. Enemies and entire locations in this game are stolen from Resident Evil 4. Any of the original games is incomparably better than this slop. I wish the author tried to make...
