✓ Fits the first-person shooters cluster, with shooter, first-person shooting and dark, oppressive atmosphere

≠ Its own twist: ranged combat, while skipping survival mechanics

Build-engine shooting from 1997 with the sprite work and level secrets that implies: dense, maze-like maps built for exploration rather than corridors. The weapon set is inventive. Its humour is dated and often crude in ways that land badly now, and the level design assumes patience for hunting switches most modern players lack.

Where it drifts furthest from The Walking Dead: Survival Instinct: combat.
