Inside Reloader: test_subject

What it is

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. You just have to remember how to use the gun you're holding.

The premise

You woke up in an unfamiliar building. Your hands are tied, and a gang member is pointing a gun at your neck. Luckily, a woman passing by, who is a self-proclaimed spy, saves your life. But it seems like she has plans to use you as a test subject for a new, unstable technology.

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!
