Selene's Unbearable Night is an indie survival horror experience that clearly draws from classic genre traditions while attempting to modernize them through expanded combat options and narrative ambition.

15 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
The developer also seems to add another fix where if you start a new save on a level (except level 1) you have access to more ammo for your weapons to make it easier to fight enemies where you would normally start with limited resources than before.
Gameplay
Players who bring up Gameplay mostly praise it.
9 of 74 sampled reviews raised it
However, the inclusion of dodge and parry mechanics does elevate the combat quite a bit.
