Early Access Review
Genuinely the most fun gameplay experience I've ever had in my entire life playing video games. Better than sex.

The story however is meh, but you're, or should be playing this over and over for the gameplay, not the story. There's some world building, a dystopian scenario and like 1 character with a personality. Plenty of references to the bible and other random antique stuff. It's kind of a devil may cry-esque travelling through hell scenario and it takes about as much liberties as well. Like with having an ancient Egyptian world that just screams Iron Maiden and a cityscape with a Rhodes colossus except it's a siren head. Pretty cool either way.

The graphics are searching for that PS1 style. It however reminds me way more of games like Half life 1 or Quake since it has a similar gameplay and look and PS1 wasn't really known for its fps-games, except for maybe those rare classics no one remembers. Like a certain Egypt themed one this game also takes inspiration from. What breaks this style anyway is the absurd amount of blood on screen, almost all the time if you're doing it right. So much so that it can literally lag your ps1 graphics game if you're speedrunning through of this too fast.

The music is good. The dev really knows what he's doing with the music and the game. It also features songs from other artists which are however better than the og ost.

Either way, this game is among the best things to have come from Finland along with weird internet memes and Nokia. The game keeps getting updated every now and then, some updates are pretty lacking like the one that added the "violence" -chapter, but I hope the next last two chapters will provide something memorable.
