A downloadable game.
The game was surprisingly difficult and, like another commentor said, I found myself getting frustrated at times. I finished the game in around 40 minutes, while actually encountering some bugs along the way. I think I was able to collect all the letters 20 minutes in, but I got confused and died before reaching the end screen. All in all, I found the game as a very creative way to tackle and discuss stories of love and loss. The lore found within each letter actually made me keep playing, something that's really great with narrative games.
More comments I noted:
- On the Menu Page Video: interesting, touching; it made me curious about the game as it's really detailed and would be relatable to some. the BGM is beautiful, it sets the overall mood of what the players would expect to feel while playing the game
- Some of what I think are bugs:
- Options button on the menu page not working
- Game not ending as soon as I get the last letter
- I got all letters in my first try, but I was confused on what to do next so I died from more ghosts killing me
- I'm not really sure what happened that prompted the game to end in my second try, I just kept killing ghosts and it suddenly went to the end screen.
- I wish there were more instructions that told me what I should be doing, since I was confused most of the time. But maybe that's part of the beauty of the game? As the game does talk about the inner struggles of the main character, having that moment of confusion as a player also emulates what it's like going through the struggles of the MC.
- A minor issue, but I can't seem to smoothly scroll through the letters using my middle mouse wheel. I have to drag the letter with my mouse to scroll through it. It's not really a bother but would love to have that as an option, since I only realized I had to drag it halfway through.
- I'd love to be able to read through each of the letters again while collecting! Hehe.
- Another minor issue, but whenever I got a new letter, it starts at the bottom part where I left off with the previous letter, so I have to scroll back up to start reading from the top.
- Minor typos in the letters?
- Portal thing wasn't explained in-game, besides in the game page description.
Would love to play this game again after a bit more polishing! Great job :D
