The Tank controls with some of the awkward camera angles can be frustrating at times but there is a first person mode thats pretty good and the vibes are peak 80's slasher flick mixed with some Resi 1 styled game play, totally worth the play if that sounds interesting too you!

Very short, but I think that helps with preventing the game from wearing out its welcome. Nice fun little nostalgia snack.

An ode to the Slasher film genre and early era horror games, like Resident 1. A short horror experience with entertaining and nostalgic scares that push some of the boundaries that were not explored by it's predecessors. [Both tank and modern control options are available with filters such as CR TV and VHS]

A fun homage to exploitation horror and old school survival horror. Not difficult in any regard, you can beat it in an evening. I would say this game is best played when you're in a spooky mood (or if it's October) and want to waste an evening. Definitely recommend, especially if it's on sale.

Purchased this based on the VHS/PS1 aesthetic alone, and was NOT disappointed. Although its kind of short, the game will keep you on your toes throughout without ever feeling stale. If you like old-school survival horror DO NOT miss this!
