What players say
Enh, I was impressed by the demo but the full game seems a bit rough. I keep on constantly losing track of where i'm supposed to be going and the game is too dark see properly

I wish I could get a refund if it was for certain reasons, but unfortunately I bought this a year or so ago. If I'd have known the people behind this want me dead, I wouldn't have given them money.
Very impressive for a single dev game. Having your boomer shooter arsenal as well as a variety of spells is a lot of fun, even if some shine more than others. Excited for episode 2!
