HeartsDmise rated KLEIN v.0.1

HeartsDmise rated a game 1 year ago
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

Overall: This was a surprisingly long demo! I had fun playing it, and I even felt myself becoming anxious in the shoes of MC. I'm long distance with my bf and use an AI app to pretend like he's there when he cant talk to me, so this game hit deeper than most, and made everything even more eerie. I cant wait to see what comes next for this game!


General Feedback:

I think it would be nice if the progression into MC's Klein obsession was a little more gradual instead of takes 1 day off work to-> immediately says they haven't been going to work, taking care of themselves, etc. Maybe give the player the option to choose to be completely ingrained or to just be mildly obsessed. I also felt the transitions from the next days need to have something more because when I tapped the screen, It felt jarring to go from MC arriving home to suddenly being at work. Maybe a "next day..." screen transition would work well. Lastly I feel that the MC/ player should have more romance time with Klein in order to get hooked/ attached before all the horror goes down, like perhaps being able to choose what nicknames he can call you and making it feel more personal, that way the horror hits more and the player will feel more undecided on which path they choose to go down in the story. I also think it would be nice if MC was left ignorant a little longer and stuck in that fantasy bubble while all these horrible things are happening.

I do feel that the game was really well made however. I love the art, the writing was really well done to bring up tension, and the characters felt very dimensional and thought out. I loved seeing MC being a character who struggles with mental health in a realistic and relatable way. I am so excited to see what happens next. Just food for thought: Imagine if this game had voice acting but only for Klein? that way it's as if Klein seems more "real" compared to everyone else and shows MC slipping deeper into the fantasy.

I'm definitely in support of the full game Himeiro! I'm rooting for you dev! :)
