Tried it on the weekend twice, was pretty nice. Great atmosphere, had some scary moments..
Not necessarily beginner friendly, as the objectives weren't pretty clear to me (you can just escape or try to kill the maniac).

Rotating with camera angle made me see some other players chatting in the distance, don't know if you can lock it or reduce the talking to a close area.

But all in all, i enjoyed it and will play it again

Rotating with camera angle made me see some other players chatting in the distance, don't know if you can lock it or reduce the talking to a close area.
You can switch camera modes with "Up" arrow key. But it could be annoying and make you dizzy during some fast paced action, when you turn around a lot.

Not necessarily beginner friendly, as the objectives weren't pretty clear to me
I'm currently working on it to make it more friendly.
But overall it's part of the experience - to not know (at least for some time) how to survive.

Well, i wasn't sure, if it's abuse-able for the Maniac (since i haven't played him yet).

Sure, i didn't really mind, but it might be dis-couraging for some players.

Been away from the scene for a while, awesome to see updates.. the UI looks kind of nice, prefer it were a bit smaller.
