To Shooter, With Guilt

“A first-person shooter meets bullet-hell but one where your bullets — a reminder of your own guilt — are also your enemies”

Exploring a soldier’s guilt as well as the player-character relationship, “To Shooter, With Guilt” is a surreal but introspective first-person shooter that was made within a week during the 7DFPS.

You are a soldier and it is your moral duty and responsibility to kill the person in the enemy uniform.

A person just like you.

Combining bullet patterns and emphasizing movement and dodge while shooting, it combines FPS with bullet hell but doesn’t make it all simple.

Your dead foes come back to haunt you. Walking slowly to your position — every bullet you shoot returns back to you.

There is no victory. You only survive. You *will* eventually die either by the bullets of your enemies, by your dead walking foes haunting you, or by your own bullets. *There is no escape from guilt once you pick up a gun and kill someone.*
