Edit: Apparently, I am a moron because RMB reloads the gun Overall, this is a fun arcade-style time waster with some neat End of Watch-style elements. There are some flaws, though. - No subtitles (makes it hard to figure out who is who). -Can't skip some of the cutscenes (especially the intro one, even on repeat playthroughs). -No separate mode that allows checkpoint restarts or extra lives (Would've loved the option along with the hardcore mode that restarts all the way from the beginning.) -Some shots appear to require specific placements, making it awkward to hit (especially the last suspect at the end of the first level). Edit 2: Just completed the entire game. Hope to see more someday. Rating: 8/10

What players are saying
This is one of the most well done FMV on rails shooters out there. Sure it's short but it's so sweet and well worth the 3 bucks. It turns into a memorable experience thanks to it's excellent filming, audio and effects! See more here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VVkOiz9bTKo&ab_channel=ZlimBratSki
It's short, but it's a pleasant nostalgia trip back to classic FMV rail shooters. The story is something out of an action B-movie. You play the last remaining cop after your unit is attacked. The story won't blow you away, but it's still good. The video quality is excellent, however it is unfortunate that it cannot be rewatched as a bonus feature. You cannot skip uninteresting parts, such as the intro sequence, whenever you start or die. Dying is extremely simple. The gameplay involves shooting enemies as they show up on the screen. You use the left mouse button to shoot and the right mouse button to reload. The mechanic works, but it looks strange. When you shoot an enemy, it appears to glitch into the video for a few seconds. You can also keep shooting at it until the visual glitch repeats two or three times. Kills earn you points, but it doesn't matter. The challenge is to remember when the enemies appear, as it is quite difficult to complete the game on the first try. You must eliminate enemies as soon as you spot them, or you will lose one of your three lives. Sometimes you have to start shooting at a location just to survive. You can die in extremely cheap ways, like when an enemy destroys the robot you control over a tablet, but that is the hallmark of this genre.
