This game does a great job of balancing a schlocky/spooky atmosphere that makes me reinstall it every year around Halloween. Its well worth the price of admission

This is great! A real hidden gem with the right sound design, movement, guns, humor. A cross between Quake and the build engine games. The enemy variety is exactly right, from pawns to good old 'OMG not this thing again!!'; Great horror elements. Real tension because you can't save scum yourself through the levels. No joke: I rate this higher than DUSK because how non chalant everything feels. To the developer: you undersold yourself here, this is to cheap. People like me usually don't buy 1 buck games because the pricing makes the game look bad from the beginning. Self worth is important.

I played this game for 7.8 hours and i enjoyed it. The gameplay is similar to quake and cruelty squad, quick and schizophrenic, and I do like the story. overall a 10/10, best $1 game ever.

Carnal's that game you play when your friend invited you over to hang out a long long time ago and he showed you some custom Quake levels he'd been working on. There's a fun kind of polished amateur feeling to it when it comes to the presentation, which really endeared me to it. It's just a bit rough around the edges, but a lot of fun, creativity and passion shines through. I even feel a bit of Duke Nukem sneaking in there too with how mundane locations like a neighborhood or a grocery store are transformed and translated into the game through a filter of dark retro style while still having a good sense of humour. As for the game itself, it's solid and very Quake-like as you can tell from the trailer and screenshots. If you've enjoyed the earlier Quakes as well as any of the more modern retro-styled games that have come out after it, then I think you'll definitely enjoy it! While Carnal may not have the polish and depth as something like DUSK, I still feel it's a worthy addition to my retro FPS collection, especially when it's as cheap as it is (and even moreso when its on sale). So yeah, give it a shot! What've you got to lose? The money you could've used to buy 2-4 gumballs at your local Blockbuster?

I all around agree with the handful of other reviews that point out that if this were a one episode and done sort of thing it would actually be better. Ep 1 is varied enough and at around 90 minutes at a dollar it would be pretty much perfect. The sight gags are funny, the enemy roster is varied, there's some actual interesting level design the further into Ep 1 you go etc. The issue is Ep 2 and 3 feel so tacked on and frankly lame that it kind of drags the experience down in retrospect. I respect this dev a lot and still recommend the game but in all honesty, play Ep 1 and pretend the game is over in my honest opinion. Recommended.
