EDIT: Updated with new demo.

Story:

You've lived your whole life in the countryside, in a small town where everyone knows each other, everyone is friendly to others. But one day, everything changed when a strange man dressed in a large, black coat and a big hat and a mask to cover his head, appeared to the town... He wanted the townspeople to pay taxes to another town, which no one in your town had never heard of. The man told the town is a very small, hidden village named Grosfburg.
And your town's people started paying taxes. Not much, but little.
For ten years, but then you had grown up to be an adult, and had had enough, and wanted to find that man, and kill him. So you left to the town of Grosfburg... Only with your gun with you...

Looks great. 2 Tips.

One, make the ambiance a tad brighter. Maybe 10 or 12.

Two, I see you're going for a greenish overall hue/style to your game. Here's an idea, instead of using one consistent lighting color (which becomes boring and repetitive even though the screens may look great.)

Try using a color palette for the lights. Here's an example one you could use. (Just whipped it up in Photoshop for your game, feel free to use it.)

that is some of the most atmospheric lighting ever. you're improving by leaps and bounds. the lighting has so much personality.

I am sorry to say this, but I tried the demo and didnt like it at all.

It was so dark all i could see were lamps because of the ultra-small lights that were right beside them.
So i exited the game went to the language bank and edited the ambience so i could see.

But i could hardly do anything.
I kept falling through the floor over and over and over again, i couldnt get to where i needed to go.

It's TOO dark! You should make more lights. Look at other games for reference, like Doom 3.

But no hard feelings! This game looks cool and quite creepy as hell!

Hmm, I don't understand the falling through the floor... Because I tested it many times and that didn't happen, not even once...

And well, it's meant to be too dark, lol. And I'm not going to make the ambience higher. I like it so it's pure black, lol. The second level will have kinda more light, in some places, since it's partly in the houses.

I actually tried out your demo (usually I don't, I just go by the screenshots) and I found myself firing off shots just to see where I was going (the layout and use of entities seemed good though from what I could tell)
People always mistake that "atmospheric" = no lights/can't see anything. If you want to keep things dark, then at least increase the brightness of the lights you do have in place or add a flashlight (dunno if fenix mod will let you do that, my game being made in Unity has a flashlight and it works real well...)

If you can't have a flashlight then turn the ambient light up until at least the outlines of things are visible--you'll notice that games that don't have flashlights are rarely pitch black (like Bioshock), it's not a good sign if things are so dark you can't even see the floor.
A good workaround is to use black fog. It's a very good trick, lets you keep the ambient light relatively high, and yet the player can't see past the fog range. HL 2 Ep.1 uses this trick in the underground parts

...Ok, I know, this "announcement" doesn't have a purpose, because almost no one's interested.
But I have good news and bad news:
Bad news: I'm not working on this for some time. Possibly never again. And I'm afraid I can't continue making Lair of the Antichrist either... Because my computer sucks and I can't build it because it's too big and I just love it too much to make it smaller.

But now to the good news:
I'm working on Gore Club Mission again. But because I don't have the old maps anymore, I start again. And well, it'll be awesome. But with small maps, or one big map, so my computer can build it.

The new screens look awesome! Will download the demo ASAP!

God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
The courage to change the things that I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference.
