Gameplay

68 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The gameplay itself is fun and quite unique, simply put, you use your mouse controlled sword to slice enemies and deflect bullets.
Story
Players who bring up Story mostly praise it.

11/10 demo, it takes a vibe that's been missing from games, comical dialogue, a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ BANGER of a soundtrack, and hidden secrets galore and throws it into one fantastic instance of worldbuilding.
Combat
Players who bring up Combat mostly praise it.
42 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
I'd describe the combat as frantic, giving you little time to react or prepare; could sound like a bad thing but the adrenaline I felt while playing gave me a lot of determination which you'll need in this game as when you die you start from the floor's beginning.
Graphics
Players who bring up Graphics mostly praise it.
36 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
The art style is very nice, but from my opinion needs to be more rounded in shading and some more animations the characters from time to time felt flat and emotionless with did take from some immersion.
Audio
Players who bring up Audio mostly praise it.
35 of 300 sampled reviews raised it
Soundtrack worked very well with the atmosphere, I like that music complements the time-slowing effects.
