7 itemsAbout the Game
Reloader: test_subject is an experimental "Bullet Counting Reload Action" game that features realistic gun control combined with movie-style cinematics. We were inspired by numerous classic shootouts from movies and the indie game called Receiver.
Experience being a Reloader: having legendary shooting skills and engaging in Close-Quarters Combat(CQC). You just have to remember how to use the gun you’re holding.
The suspicious tool that is given to you grants you godlike aiming skills and the abilities of a legendary agent. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen bugs and errors, you have the ability to aim a gun, but you know nothing about how it works or even how to reload it.
But, you can figure it out step by step. Hold a magazine, load and lock the magazine into your pistol, and pull the slide back to chamber a round. Now, you are ready to fight.
All you have is a pistol and a few magazines. Now, get ready to escape a building filled with armed gang members - all by yourself!
