Mercenary Exorcist by juju
Rail shooter created in Unreal Engine 5.
Shoot the little critters to rid the house of their evil presence. Be mindful of your energy, however, as you'll fail if you run out.
Reuploaded on itch.io because the download link apparently wasn't working here.

The constant slow movement wasn't particularly great. Faster motion with more stops could have been better.
The game also crashed for me before going up the stairs.
Was a good concept, there were a few bugs, but overall I really enjoyed! Good work brother!
But I feel that it is better to have a buffer, for example, an indirect interface.
And it's frustrating not to have a way to move.
Anyway, I like me a good ol' rail fps, one of my favorite game has to be Deadspace Extractor on Wii. It could have been a little bit harder, maybe add a "civilian" pop out where you loose point if you shoot/kill them. Overall, it's simple but seems to works flawlessly.
I also closed the game by accident when trying to pause.
If you keep working on the game it would be great to see stuff like ammunition, different weapons or taking cover be in the game!
Game crashed for me after level 4 or 5, despite that it was fun! keep up the good work!
Or, I guess, not playing; in this case, only a black screen seems to appear :sob:
I guess it's not your fault, I guess I won't be rating your game though; good luck with the rest of the jam!
