Really excellent submission. The mood is amazing, graphics are excellent. Only thing I would say is that the jump feels really short. Otherwise, this is awesome.

Great game, nice how you pulled up the procedural design with keeping a feeling of progression!
Graphics are cool, efficient style. Especially like the slide anim in the hat!
Music is nice as well, overall, gg!

This is one of the better ones, no doubt! It looks great, sounds great and runs super smoothly. Controls and physics are fun. Everything fits together very well to create a satisfying, atmospheric game. Well done!

If anyone is having problems with movement, unplug your controller if you have one

Really cool game you have here! The sounds, graphics, and gameplay complement each other to create a strong, dark atmosphere. The color aberration and light/shadows are nice touches

Some suggestions if you plan on developing this further: The shotgun feels so strong it would be cool if it knocked you back and you could use that to navigate through levels along with the wall jumping. + A short death animation before the game over screen

I try to give some criticisms too, but you guys really nailed it! The only thing that stood out to me was the text at the game over screen is touching the top of the screen (could have to do with my widescreen monitor) and in one room I was able to stand on a wall but these are both minor

The art style and tone of the game is phenomenal, it's clear there was a lot of polish added to everything. It's hard to get just the right amount of screen shake. Overall super fun to play, I'd love to see what you could do with a full game.

The visuals and mood are amazing, the bats could use some animations for their attacks but overall a very solid game.

Very cool game. Visuals, sounds are great and create such a nice atmosphere. The feeling of shooting and killing is amazing (in the game, I mean). The controls felt a bit floaty though. I liked the reload animation after the spread shot. This is really, really good.

And I also found a bug. After dying I respawned above the elevator:
