You can find meat to distract enemies but the couple of times I tried it, it went completely ignored. It slowly recharges whenever sprint is not in use or you can use an energy drink to reinforce the stamina bar for a bit, but again, resources are scarce. Run out while an enemy is after you and you are as good as dead. Problem with that is sprinting uses stamina. Then it’s time to run until you’re out of sight. There is a little sound icon onscreen to show you how much noise you’re making along with a red eye that pops up when an enemy sees you. Walking slowly or crouching is your best bet. This leaves you with stealth as your main survival tool. My guy actually turned around at one point and I was stuck aiming in the wrong direction as a monster beat my ass, quite literally. Even then, the shooting can be a pain in the ass because the aiming feels pretty janky. There are a few firearms to obtain, but ammo is scarce and you won’t even see your first gun until halfway through the game. ![]() And the worst part about it? For a good chunk of the game, you have no way of fighting them. ![]() The gruesome entities that roam the street are out of a Lovecraft-esque nightmare things that cannot be described because the human mind cannot comprehend what it does not understand. Often they play out in a blur of unsettling imagery of light juxtaposed with dark, constantly shifting like spilled ink on a sheet of paper. There is also a large dose of the surreal especially when it comes to the loading screens and cutscenes. Injection is a dark, creepy game full of macabre imagery.

Now when they say Injection is a love letter to the excellent Silent Hill series, it’s not an exaggeration.

They come down to just dodging waves of regular enemies while trying to focus fire on the main target. Some poorly conceived boss battles feel out of place among the standard levels. Levels often have unique objectives to overcome. With plenty of challenges to overcome there's a lot more to offer players outside of just the standard high-score hunting.
