Guide to Basics
Basics
Το take down you’ll have the cult and get your revenge, το master a few basics first.
Moving & shooting
Move the girl by pushing the mouse left or right. The more you push, the faster she’ll move. Press mouse I to αιμ down your scope and use the scroll wheel to zoom in.
Marking enemies
When you have an enemy in your sights, push middle mouse το mark them. Even if you fail or restart a level, the mark will remain. Killing an untagged enemy also counts as a mark.
Weak points
If part of a cultist’s is body glowing, that means they have a weak point. This is how you charge up the armor-busting power shot ability. More on that later.
Powers
As you progress through the game you’ll unlock a series of incredible bullet-bending special abilities.
Trajectory change
After firing a shot, hold mouse 2 to alter the trajectory of the bullet. This power at any time, can be activated but you can adjust the only slightly projectile’s path.
Re-Aim
Kill two cultists by hitting their weak points and you can press mouse 2 το completely re-aim a shot. The bullet will keep moving, but slowly enough to pick a new target.
Power shot
Hold mouse 1 while a bullet is in motion and it’ll gradually build up speed. With enough momentum, the bullet will rip through enemy armor. Too slow and it’ll just bounce off.
Cultists
Regular cultists are easily executed, but some of the leader’s henchmen are harder to take down.
Shield cultist
Some cultists carry riot shields, meaning you can’t kill them head-on. You’ll have το use the girl’s bullet manipulating to get around their defences.

Psychic cultist
Floating cultists with mind powers το rival the girl’s. If a bullet moves into their psychic sphere of its trajectory will influence suddenly change, knocking it off its path.
Environment
Pay careful attention το the environment around the girl. It may help, or hinder, you.
Birds
If there are no cultists in sight, breaking your chain, look το the sky. If a bird is flying past you can shoot it and keep the bullet going. You’ll need a sharp aim though.
Explosives
Shooting gas caps and propane tanks will trigger violent explosions. If any cultists are nearby they’ll be killed in the blast. This is a killer way to wipe out multiple enemies at once.
