I did a double take when I saw this in my inbox the other day – of all the creations that could have derived from Haruhiism fandom, I would have never imagined a FPS game would be one of them. This fan shooter works off of the original DOOM game (via Legacy Engine) and is based off of the Adventures of Mikuru Asahina seen in the first episode of the anime.  The story taken from the game’s manual:

You are Mikuru Asahina, a waitress from the future who is here to protect Itsuki Koizumi. Itsuki is an ESPer, but has not managed to discover how to use his full potential yet. Some times ago, Yuki Nagato, an evil Alien came on earth to have Itsuki on her side, and use his power for the “evolution”. Mikuru and Itsuki managed to defeat Yuki, but she is back, and she decided to use her full potential to capture Itsuki. You receive a message from Itsuki telling you that Yuki is back, but the worst thing is that Yuki has captured your friends Tsuruya-san, Kunikida and Taniguchi, brainwashed them, and created clones out of them to stop you from protecting Itsuki.
Now it’s up to you to decide the destiny of Mikuru, Itsuki and Yuki by going through 8 levels. Use all your weapons and your brain to find Yuki and protect Itsuki.

Your enemies in the game include gun-totting sprite versions of Kunikida and Taniguchi, as well as more powerful foes like Tsuruya-san, Ryoko, Yuki the Witch and even Celestials from Closed Space. Along with her pistols and machine gun, Mikuru has her basic Mikuru Kick/Punch attacks, borrowed Itsuki’s Fumoffu attack, and has her all powerful Mikuru Beams too. You can find the game archived here, but go here for working downloads (the latter page is in French). For the curious, there’s instructions on how to run the game in the manual. It’s pretty old school, so you’ll likely need to jump through some hoops to get it running. Here are some in-game videos.
