The story of the game has received mixed feedback, with players appreciating its atmosphere and concept but expressing frustration over certain gameplay mechanics that disrupt immersion, such as restrictions on weapon use in specific areas. While the game currently offers limited content and missions, players are hopeful for future updates and additional modes that could enhance the narrative experience. Overall, the storyline is engaging, but technical issues and gameplay inconsistencies detract from its potential.
- “As of right now, however, in terms of content for the game, there's not a whole lot. But seeing how it only released a little while ago, it's to be expected. Right now, there are only playable missions with some more on the way, 2 playable game modes with 1 on the way. The 2 modes are armed and demon, and unarmed is the one coming soon. I've only played armed, but if I understand demon mode, you play as the demon. There is a decent selection of guns, a few pistols and rifles, but I can't think of any that stand out besides the STG44. There are also some different outfits you can get, and there are also different types of dogs you can get too. I'm not sure if the different dogs do anything, but to be honest, I'm not 100% sure what the dogs' purpose is anyway besides making me feel bad if it gets killed.”
