Have you checked that your GDD is publicly accessible ?
hope so

Is your game set to public on itch.io so we can see it?
yes

Summarise your game!
A cyberpunk, hack-n-slash demo, soon to tell a couple different vengeance stories in a cyber-horror setting

Please explain how your game fits the theme:
Blade is your weapon, silent, vengeful, and injured beyond natural healing. The other character(s) sort of take advantage of this, narratively using him as weapon for their own vengeance

Is there anything you'd like the judges to pay particular attention to?
Well I mean, I mostly considered to fit the theme narratively... but spent too much time on vibes... and restructuring the player code thrice!

We apologise for the late review:


First of all, your game oozes with style. The red white and black aesthetic is really cnice and the music and UI are all very fitting. It however wasn't always very clear what was going on. The game could do with some more TLC to the player experience when switching between scenes.

I found a bug where if you shoot an NPC while they are dying, their animation will reset. NPC behaviour also seems generally quite janky and could do with some polish.

Also when the upgrade box appeared I wasn't able to close it and got soft-locked.

You can also run off the side of the screen in the starting area.

It'd be nice to have QoL like being able to click through dialogue instead of just pressing space. It would also be good to have an indicator that you do in fact need to press space for dumb people like me.

Your GDD contains a lot of cool story-related stuff but it'd be great to see more than a few points about inspiration, gameplay, art, music etc.

Overall I enjoyed playing. I hope you choose to develop this further!
