Devlog - Something to think about

Solace Creek
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux

Hey everyone!

Things have been moving along steadily since the last update. I've been working through a good chunk of new content and the game keeps feeling more and more like what I always imagined it to be. Nothing big to announce just yet, but it's all coming together.

Something to think about: A point that keeps coming up in comments from people who played the demo is that the main character could feel a bit more present.

I get it, and it's something I was thinking a lot about in the past month since there's a really fine line between keeping her a bit "dissociated", inward or even catatonic but still giving the player enough to actually connect with her.

Would love to hear your thoughts on this! More inner monologue lines? More expressive animations? Or maybe something completely different? If you know any games that handled something similar really well, I'd love to hear those too. Any input is genuinely appreciated!

As always, thanks for your continued support ♥️
