BlueAlopex rated FATHER | Demo

BlueAlopex rated a game 4 days ago
A downloadable game.

It's ok. I can see a promising premise/story here, but it's not engaging at all. I can't connect to any of the characters, even Father, in a negative or positive way.

I will try my best to describe what I don't like, the pacing is very off. There's nothing interesting to look at. I noticed symbolism in the game, like the lone apple on the tree above the well and I see the vibe it is going for, but is has no real atmospheric presence. 

So when I got to the beam and died 3 times, I decided to stop. I know I could do it, but I wasn't invested enough to try again.

Just want to say again, I really do see a promising game here, it definitely has a VVitch imagery from the father's POV, which I think is a much needed addition to these kind of stories. I think instead of going scene to scene, sit a little longer with father and his internal beliefs. Make him more rattled by his nightmares, even if he has to do it while he is alone.
