The Mystery of Happyville

It's not a bad game very linear just go where its's obvious there are no secrets i found. For $4.99 it's decent simple game. A short game very little depth which kind of expected. I would say it's story is kind of told through blood splattering signs and imagery more so than anything. Though no real "answer" is given. Ending could have a bit more to it.
Biggest issue i have is the game play. the controls are a bit-off and seem a bit delayed.
There is no sprint indicator and he really can't run for long periods. This and the weapon system is more realistic.
Since if you see a revolver laying on the ground you can't immediately tell how many bullets are in it and there is no indicator once you pick it up either. Every revolver has 6 shots but if you pick up one you dropped accidentally its still empty. There are tons of weapons around once they spawn so little worry about that. It is odd you can't pick up enemy weapons though.
Also the aiming is a bit odd. There are times the gun will seem to fire and it will go like 6 feet and hit the ground instead of where I am aiming. this was intermittent and not a serious issue although it happened when i had two clowns chasing me and then i re-spawned right on top of them after dying. so died like 4-5 times before i could kill them with no weapon and spawning right next to them.
It is a nice quick play through although I don't see any replay value. It is a nice starter game or quick game. Could definitely use some more depth to it but for $4.99 it is decent value.
If you like short games like this or want to play with some friends it can be fun.
