Well, WOW! After a review like that from Bugsy, I am downloading it right now! I will try to give an honest review upon completion.
Jay.
EDIT
Ok, so, the game was not as expected! It was fast paced, had me literally leaning forward on my seat and I didn't get bored once! I got annoyed once, but, never bored!
Here is a simple break down for you.
**The GREAT**
The music is what made this game! Great choice of music, well placed, well used, just great.
(one minor point) people like me like to stealth around, so, with that epic music playing, it really does add atmosphere, which is awesome, however, when the music doesn't loop and you are left in silence, it kills the atmosphere you have worked so hard to create.
**The Good**
The voice acting was well placed and made sense. I was a bit disappointed that there was such varying level of quality between each voice, but, good nonetheless.
The overall pace of the game and the need to find the next door or objective was fast and interesting.
The sound effects were great. I really like the locked door sound. It took a while for me to click thats what it was, but, afterwards, I walked away from a door knowing that it wasn't ever going to open.
Limited weapons and limited ammo. nice touch. Not too limited so that you die really easily, but, enough to make you panic!
good use of the space. Although I (the player) knew that I was going around in circles, it felt different around every corner! Kudos!
**The Bad**
The shaders were over done.
Some of the textures were way off the mark! Such as the plant texture! The white bits should be 100% Black, then you will only see the leaf.
The glowing doors! I hate that about FPSC games. Its an easy fix, but, so many games still have doors that illuminate!
Seeing the same entities over and over again. and ALL stock! Bugsy said it right when he said you should learn to model!
Stock loading screens and HUD's. I know this is a demo and I can only hope these will be changed for the final release?!
Overall, I say you have the great beginnings to an awesome game! A few issues that can be easily sorted and you will (as Bugsy said) be well on your way to a BOTB!
On a side note, I noticed that Bugsy had mentioned some poor textures, I just adjusted the setup.ini and it looked great on my machine.
This is the setup.ini I used.

I would advise that after people download your game, they should also copy this and change the resolution to meet that of their screen.
Here is a screenshot of what it looked like when I was playing it. I have attached the HD version
Also, I noticed a weird thing...........a transparent barrel........
Keep up the good work!
Jay.
