Certainly captures the old school feeling, and you can tell the devs are passionate about it. Thought the sound was really good, and for a fan developed game, even the voices were ok.

Only a few negative points really. The first is the cinematics (a bit low res) run in 16:9, yet the game runs in 4:3.

The textures are shockingly low res. I can get past that, but still...

You hardly do anything. Ok, it's the first episode, but gameplay has about the same ratio of gameplay to cutscene as the average Metal Gear, and there were barely any puzzles at all. Hope it drastically improves in the later episodes.

It's very, very short as well.

Yes, I know it's free, but that doesn't make it immune from criticism.
