Epic. I found it rather disturbing that the only character who was "right" was the raving, murdering, sociopathic, would-be rapist. I really didn't like that. But, after some reflection, I realized that it's just part of the whole thing. When the end times do come upon us, there will be plenty of people like Seth who know enough to understand what's happening, but still be too ignorant to understand the repercussions of their actions. As a Catholic, I tend to believe that the book of Revelations was a figurative book, written in "code" for the early Christians, since the Romans wouldn't understand the obtuse wording. But still, masterful way to introduce the creepiest part of Christianity into a hell of a gore-fest.
Oh, and for the record, while the RC car section wasn't exactly my favorite part of the game, it wasn't half as hard as some of you pansies make it sound. =P The execution of the Axe and Shottie sequences seemed a bit rushed, but you get enough HP that you can still make it through without going crazy. If the life bar had been any shorter, it would have put a serious damper on the game, but as it is, it's a nice distraction, and really adds to the tension of the game. Great job.

One last thing... Great job on the gore. Gave it a really visceral feel. The guy who blew his head off in the pharmacy, Seth's death (I cheered, talk about poetic justice), the daughter (complete with the eye looking directly at you, from the SIDE of this mass of blackened meat... ew...), and especially the multiple deaths of Rick... we see him dead in the pharmacy, then we kill him, and then kill him again... come back later and he's STILL trying to live... DAMN. Creepy stuff.
True masterwork. I'm keeping my eye on you from here on out. =D
