About

We just released a brand new update for Receiver! There have been *many* improvements to the engine since we launched the game that we wanted to take advantage of, especially with regards to performance. This update should also fix a few annoying little bugs and make the game look a bit nicer overall.

Receiver was created for the 7-day FPS challenge to explore gun handling mechanics, randomized levels, and unordered storytelling. Armed only with a handgun and an audio cassette player, you must uncover the secrets of the Mindkill in a building complex infested with automated turrets and hovering shock drones.
