Infobox

Should mention and source the engine
I've removed it because it's not backed up by reliable sources.

Gameplay

I'd recommend making a little clearer that Mel was a Valve concept reused for a fan work
Done

Reception

"Reviewers commended the game's voice acting and music. Hilliard and Hanson were unappealed by the voice acting." This feels a little off. Should tweak to avoid using "unappealed," and switch it so that the first line of this part of the reception here matches the introductory line of reviewers commending the voice acting and/or music.
I'd consider tweaking the Reception section a bit to make it flow a little more smoothly, and maybe consider paraphrasing a little more. - Cukie Gherkin (talk) 20:20, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done I've tweaked the reception. Vacant0 (talk • contribs) 21:41, 6 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
