Multiple issues, seemingly unplayable
The concept seems interesting, and I liked where it was going, but I wasn't able to continue in the game because once the health bar was introduced, everything became bogged down in unplayable lagging, even on the lowest graphic setting. I couldn't see where I was going, and it made platform jumping and avoiding enemies impossible.
There are no checkpoints or save points, so I tried over and over, going through the same four levels I had gone through before, just to find that I kept getting stuck with the lagging health bar.
I like that for the most part you've kept native accents for the characters, but I found the acting to be not quite good enough, with little apparent empathy for what the characters would be feeling. e.g. The main character was laughing as he was talking to the guy who came back from the dead, as if his incineration was funny, or that his apparent resurrection was funny. It was pretty jarring. If you want humour in the situation, I think deadpan black humour is more appropriate.
The crusher area produces so much lag I was unable to properly see the crushing, and crawling back towards the lift got me stuck.
Don't give up, I'd like to see this game again some day with all the improvements it needs. I think it would be worth working on it more.
