This is one of the most atmospheric and beautiful games I've seen on this engine. But I couldn't finish it. Too much searching for objects in a dark forest and inconspicuous places, with -5 vision and a limp on both legs. It took me a lot of effort, but I got an axe from the ashes, then I found three batteries in the bushes, 40 rounds for a revolver and a pistol in a house full of basins with offal. But when I was asked to find the key to the gate, I couldn't. I don't know what the matter was, I went to the house for it, but I didn't find it, I looked for a staircase to the second floor, but it wasn't there (probably because EFPS doesn't support multi-leveling), then I saw two enemies on the street, shot them, but I still couldn't find that damn key anywhere nearby. Then I went back to the forest, for some reason the enemies appeared again and there were a lot of them, I killed them all, but I still didn't get or find the key. I walking the level several times, but the slow walking became unbearable. It was like when I was a kid and you can't beat the game, but you keep fighting it to see what happens next, but I still had to give up because I started getting angry at the game for wasting my time.

 Slow walking + searching for items in an unknown place is very boring.
But I am grateful for the positive emotions I still managed to get from the game.

Thank you for feedback! This game is made in very short time and i didn't have time and opportunity to polish it for better experience. You had to shoot the skeleton on the tree. This game must have help notes but for my own stupidity i cutted them. It was really wrong decision.

Damn! I was thinking about that, but I wasted all my ammo on those fat bastards in the woods. I'll finish the job, thanks.
