This is pretty fun in short bursts, with loads of wacky enemies like floating baby heads armed with oversized kitchen knives. Interesting pickups that modify your character stats on the fly for a boost in virtual viewer ratings are an interesting twist as well. Character movement is solid, with basic control mapping well laid out. Despite the above though, I wouldn't heartily recommend Killing Room.

The game has a few issues, the largest of which is how often it loves crashing to desktop during level loading. This isn't just a game start issue, I've had it happen when trying to load the second and third levels multiple times. As well, usually every second life you'll find yourself loading into a room while inside one of the enemies...often instantly killing you - a known and never remedied bug.

Killing Room's worth a look if you've picked it up from one of the bundles it's appeared in lately, but due to lacking technical support and the weird feeling of "I've played this before but a better version" I'd only suggest purchasing it at a steep discount direct from Steam. Note here if you were considering the game for its audience interaction element, while that does still work it's now utterly dead.
