Sadly I was not a fan of this game. I think  there's potential but it felt too much like an early Alpha build.

I fixed the bugs guys!!!!
The game is finally playable now, sorry for the broken experience of the game at first.

I was able to get to the end with the download version, not without a few bugs but one only broke the game in the sense that I didn't die when my health reached zero.  Some of there art was nice but some odd design choices, like the dog in the washing machine and 30 levels of stairs.  It has protentional but needs revision if your team continues development.

I won't rate this one right now as the game seems to break after I enter the elevator. I hope you correct the bugs, so I can give it a fair rating! I will say that what I saw seemed really interesting! So I hope you can fix the issues.

Keep it up!

I fixed some bugs axis, maybe play through the game now and rate it. Sorry for the broken gameplay before.

Indeed it works, congrats on the update! 

Personnaly, I like the environment and atmosphere, being chased by an alien in an underground parking lot is a scary concept, especially with the lack of lighting in the environment. Forcing the player to leave the elevator to go the car and the alien ambushing the player works well, so that was a great update.

However, once I grab the boots, I get lost on what I have to do. I can kill the alien, but nothing happens after that, if it's supposed to be the end of the game, there is no end screen. (That's okay, it's just a lack of information that messes me up)

If you are still able to update the project, I think changing the font would help, it's hard to equip the boots because it's hard to know which key to press because of the font (is it 1 or I, I was not sure for a while). Also, adding other steps after getting to the car would help with clarification.

It was way better, keep it up.

Sure, I'll do that. Thanks for the reply. Really appreciate the review.

I really like the vibe and it has potential, but it needs a lot more work.

For one, I've tried the web version and the resolution you set for that one is really low. Text gets cut off and overall it feels like looking at the world through a really small window. So, please increase it. Another thing, the camera felt really 'floaty'. Next is the dialogue and lack of direction. So, the game starts and you are told that you gotta talk to Jill. So you go to Jill , talk to her, she just says 'Hey honey!' and that's all, you can't talk to her further. I think she's supposed to say more, but something bugged out?

Anyway, I didn't know what to do after, so I went to the elevator and... after what seemed to be a cutscene, I was suddenly in some nondescript black void while alarm sounds were blaring, I could wander around, but there didn't seem to be anywhere in particular to go to? I thought I had to wait for something but even after a few minutes nothing as happening, so I just quit.

I played the downloadable version, the dialogue with Jill was normal. But there is the same bug with the elevator. I restarted a couple of times, it didn't help. There is a checkpoint restart button in the menu and it doesn’t work either.

It has good visuals. I keep on falling through the ground once I reach the stairs and sometimes when getting off the elevator.
