As a fan of a more standard horror games I have to say I enjoyed it to a limited degree. Good atmosphere, gameplay loop is decent, but maybe not explained from the get-go, like you have three tries and three balls per try and you can exchange one try for ammunition wasn't clear. First-time player might be confused what is possible and what not.
Add manual reloading. I'm not asking, it's a basic human right. Also is there a way to cancel charged shot? It's a shotgun, you either press the trigger or you don't. Couple times I shot at the ball and it didn't register as being hit. I think it's unacceptable in a situation where slugs are very limited. Also couple times ball rolled back to the start and it costed me a whole try. That shouldn't be the case.
Smoking is a thing to relieve stress (Cosmicdev stole it from you I guess), but when you have more than one cigarette you'll automatically start burning the second one. I think you should make it so you stop smoking the first one and you need to start smoking again. I was smoking the last 20% and I presumed it'd stop at 0% but it went through the next one.
That scary thingy on the 3rd level is unstoppable and you have to hide in the closet, right? Well, let's say I don't like one-shots that take you to the start of the game. Give me three chances before sending me all the way back, also add option to heal for money instead of blindly saving the game. You might lose a lot of potential fans in your first 15 minutes if you're too hard-ass about the difficulty.
So yea, 10/10 really good, I did like three runs, each one moving further but since I was hoarding money I died and got send all the way back. Ease up with the difficulty and get that QoL improvements and you'll have another twitch streamerbait gold.
