- Hey there :). So... honestly, the biggest issue of this game is the "cleaning" part. It take way too much time to find all the thing to clean in the house, and when there is only 1 or 2 left and you can't find it, and visit all the room 3, 4, 5, 6 times... it's just annoying, boring, and the player lost his interest for the game. Put sparkles where there is thing to interact/clean, reduce the size of the maps, delete some useless maps. And focus more on the "horror" part. Like putting jumpscare or other thing that will make the ambiance less boring. Still, appreciate you submitted a game, see ya :). Drag.
- It was very hard to find what to do in this game, I had no idea where to go or what was happening for most of the 30 minutes I was supposed to judge.

So... Livingpard Chateau, the game that doesn't know if he wants to be an epic RPG or an horror game.
- There is some inconsistencies like... I can get the books and paper from the table of the library, but not in the grandfather's room?
- The daughter can block you in her room at this spot.
- There is also weird shadows in some rooms. I know you wanted to emulate the light passing through the windows, but it just looks weird to me.
- Er... So I roamed around the mansion during the chase scene and I realized the character that chases us is also in his room at the same time?
- Also, you can trigger the battle against the Obsidian Demon again. However, doing so will likely lead to a Game Over as the chase is already under way and you will instantly die as soon as the message boxes are passed.
- Playing the piano during the chase scene plays the soft theme of when you enter the mansion for the time after the piano's ME is played.
- Ok, now an exploit! If you enter the back entrance during the chase by 2nd floor, you can trigger the chase scene in a much better position to escape them effortlessly.
- Also it seems that you didn't considered the 2nd floor at all for the chase scene. Even by entering the back entrance by the 1st one. What a shame... Well, that makes that part of the game easy.
- Make checks so the same event doesn't risk to be repeated multiple times.
- Also why you put a line of events to just notify the entrance to the player while to reach the end of the game, you must be at ONE specific tile? That's odd.
- Revenge & Phantasm powers bring nothing to the game. (Especially Revenge.) You can get rid of them entirely and make the game a pure horror game. That would make so much more sense.
And there you go. This is what I had to say about this game. I don't wish you good luck for the jam because you definitely broke the no RTP rule, but other than that, I wish you good luck for your projects.
This game isn't finished yet it has only 30% of development so it may have alot of bugs. I don't know when to finish it because I'm really tired of it and got bored lol. I'm really stressed of testing the game and noticing some bugs and testing again and again.
It always happen. Even me, after deploying and posting the game I realized some stuff I wanted to rectify. You just have to know when to stop or you'll never finish adjusting stuff.
I really had no idea what was going on here. I wandered around far too long and ended up getting bored of the game. Whatever the premise is, I'd love to see it contained a little better so that I could experience some of the real project.
Heya! Don't know if you saw this yet (been busy so I might have lost track), but we did a high level overview of your Game Jam entry last week. Here is a link to the video if you want to see what we have to say:
For anyone of you didn't understand wtf is happening:
*Chiyo acts like a sociopath because she thought that the family are a bunch of weirdos.
*Mr. Vinhem suddenly got angry and turned into a vampire because he really doesn't like Hanase that much and behind that door is something that humans shouldn't see. Hanase somehow managed to survive the attack because she really can escape the shitty place.
*The family is a bunch of vampires that just wanted to survive in the human world.
*Shiyo thought that apologizing her wouldn't really work because she's a human and they are vampires so he decided to kill her instead.
*Vampires really don't like humans and they lie so much.
*Zacharie Blade is a character that will appear in the minds of a certain individual if they feel that there is hope from the future when they're beaten or failed. He doesn't really have a real name and he's just a spirit or a god. He acts very strange because he is a god. TL DR He can give you hope if you fail on something.
Example:
A man beaten by his life. He feels that there's no hope and wants to kill himself but then sooner hope comes and he turned into a successful man.
*Zack is hurting hanase because it's her own mistake that she worked from the wrong mansion and realizing her that she can escape this wretched place.
*My own vampire rules:
- they can be killed by stake to the heart or smash the head.
- only the original vampire has immortality.
- your body goes numb if you got sucked.
- the only way to infect a human is to drink their vampiric blood.
- vampires can transform their own demon forms through emotions.
- vampires can't be burned by sunlight.
- vampires turn their hair white or grey when they get really excited for blood.
- some of them can read minds.
- vampires have strong and deadly Phantasm abilities.
- vampires can't turn into bats.
- vampires can also enjoy eating human food.
- vampires can go insane when they haven't sucked human blood for 10 years.
The maps could do to be a good bit smaller, and there were a lot of typos and grammatical errors. The writing itself is all over the place as well, and at times it can come across as needlessly dark (the grandfather) or all over the place (the man suddenly turning into a demon and attacking her). At other times, it comes across as goofy/silly (her being leveled up to 69).
It needs a lot more work on the writing and grammar, and some of the events can easily be broken (for instance, if you enter the back entrance area from a different door you are able to bypass all of the monsters chasing you).
yeah It have so many grammatical errors because I'm so lazy. This game was inspired by the manga called "kichikujima" I tried to make the player feel like they have a grudge or hatred to the psychotic family that messes up or try to ruin the players life.
I tried so much to make a complex plot and I still having troubles on it.
