| I was reluctant to a gameplay that consisted of dragging the dude around. |
So everyone was like "endoparasitic this, endoparasitic that," so I gave it a go.
PR: "Scientists" on a moon get a shipment of "mind parasites" that produce "spontaneous mutations and death" on the targets they infect, so they do what every sane person would do: They order 1000 CRATES OF THE THINGS. Yeah. But that's not all, apparently amidst the "scientistic method" of infecting random things and seeing what happens, the "hey, what happens if we infect a monkey with it?", "Hey, what happens if we infect mice with it?" and other etceteras, one of the docs goes crazy and has a dream about needing to infect himself with the worms, you know the ones that cause random mutations and death.
The other jackasses at the facility are so idiotic that they fail to contain the breach, even though a friggin' disabled, near-dead dude dragging himself with his one hand, the only limb he has left, can kill 'em infected by the dozen.
The game follows said dude, who needs to inject himself with "the vaccine" periodically to stave off the mind worms. Last time I checked, that wasn't how vaccines work, but, well, I'M NOT A SCIENTIST, LUCKILY.
The game itself is pretty simple, not really my cup of tea, but I suppose it's fine for such a small project. For me, it was pretty frustrating, and the controls are simply not responsive enough for what the situation demands.
In particular the "rat" enemy, you need to let it see you and quickly switch to the handgun with barely a millisecond to aim in the broad direction of the thing and shoot before it vanishes out of sight. It's ten times faster than you, so good luck trying to outrun it.
If you have the patience to get used to the controls, maybe. But for me, there isn't anything compelling enough to stay.
