First time I am writing a review here, simply because the game is worth it.
TL;DR: Original Resident Evil-esque game of about 2 hours playtime. Does EVERYTHING right, knows exactly what it is and does that well.

Graphically the game does not look all that well from the get go, neither in fidelity nor in style, things are pixelated to a degree where sometimes it's either fine or cool, but often also makes it so you cannot make something out at range. But that is okay, going in becomes another risk. Look past the odd look, because a good 10 minutes in you will be right inside of a good old-school survival horror experience. That is admittedly not as scary these days, but the survival aspect is all the better.

Ask yourself this, especially when looking at modern games: How do you take slow enemies and superior fire power and create a challenging experience? - Through Supply Scarcity and tight corridors. Will you use your supplies to get rid of the zombies in this room? Or will you ignore them / run past them and potentially lose more supplies attempting to avoid them?
This idea isn't new, it's Resident Evil / Silent Hill logic, it's how the genre works, even if many modern games have lost that. This game has not.
Balancing how much ammunition / health supplies you are given to create a challenge that is a struggle but still doable is difficult, but this game does amazingly well. After killing the last boss I was jumping out of my seat happily, as I struck him down with my final few bullets. SUPERB!

I never played Resident Evil 1, but my partner has. So she pointed out to me how much of the games riddles, enemies and design are directly taken from Resident Evil. But hey - it works!

Other stuff about this game that works really well:

- The Sound: When you enter a room and you only hear slobbering noises and groaning and are warned of the danger in the room. The atmosphere is well done. Better than most modern games.
- The Gunplay: Even most modern action games screw this up. The gunplay here is superb. Wait for the reticule to calm down, shotgun an enemy on close range and watch their head explode, or for them to be split in the middle. FEELS GOOD!
- The Puzzles: Missed Resident Evil? Relive the experience with extremely similar puzzles. It's well fun though :)

That this game was made by a single person blows my mind. Dev companies please hire this person. The game is extraordinary. This game knows what it is, what is wants to be and how to give you a content rich 2 Hour experience.

Absolutely Recommended!
