Fun title with rogue-like ingredients including procedural level generation, permadeath and resource management, but minus the turn-based nature and twisted into an action FPS.

Quick and easy to pick up and play, SOTWH isn't punishing just for the sake of being punishing. Unlike certain other games this game feels (for me) like it could be beatable - one day.

The game never takes itself too seriously. How can it with a weapons arsenal that includes lasers and nukes? The writing style is humorous, and the game somehow manages that Spelunky-like achievement of making you smile when you die. Talking of Spelunky - there's also shopkeepers and a pachinko game.

I love the low polygon art style - there may only be few polys but they have all been well-crafted showing high attention to detail and loving nods to various horror tropes embedded throughout the background scenery.

In my opinion, SOTWH is worth the asking price and importantly provides an enjoyable return on the investment of my time.

Recommended.
