Hi Kronikle thanks for playing the game! Yeah that's fair criticism, it definitely needs some sound effects, especially when interacting, there are sound effects for the combat, but as mentioned that got cut for being buggy and running out of time to make good.

Good spot! Damn didn't notice that, not enough testing on my part! I'll get that updated in the next release. I'll also be adding a pause button that was sorely missing, so you can load last checkpoint. And it probably makes sense to add a reset of sorts if you glitch out of the map area.

Jumps were mainly for the combat and possibly future platform sections to gather clues. But combat was cut.

Yeah agreed. I was surprised as well. I have found a couple of ways since to reduce it slightly, which  basically clears up some unused assets in it, but yeah don't know if this an underlying Unreal Engine problem or if it's me missing a trick.

Thanks again for playing and I'll be continuing to update with more content, fix bugs and applying as much of the feedback I have received from yourself and others where possible. Aim is to have a full first polished level by Christmas and there will be minor releases in between now and then for bug fixes and minor gameplay improvements.

Hi Pressa.

Thank you for playing my game, I hope you liked it! Thank you, the pixel art is my first, so I am glad you liked it. Thanks the dialogue will be extended further in this and they'll certainly be some light comical moments where possible.

Yeah direction is something that was missing. One feature I will extend is guidance in the dialogue, like how PO Daniel directs you to the bathroom as the first objective. but I think a quest log of sorts could be added to help keep track of things to do.

Thanks for all the good ideas. I will look to add a lot of those features in the next release :)

Hi Nitsan! Thanks for playing the game. Glad you had fun with it!

Yeah the first level is meant to be longer. I ran out of time and had to cut it short and focus on ensuring the gameplay worked smoothly. The investigation at the The Nile Bar is not over and this was just the beginning of Jason's discovery of the Blood Empire. A lot of the gameplay aspects like Dawn's phone will be extended in the next version. They'll be other clues like the victims phone, laptops, murder weapons where you can detect whose blood it is and conversations will certainly be more in depth and guide the player to the correct areas, as bar PO Daniels initial guidance there isn't much. Also choices will play a bigger part and lead to others dying around you if you make the wrong choice.

Glad you liked the graphics and animations. They are my first lols. Never done any graphics or animations before, bar some terrible blender models. So I am glad they we well recieved! Yeah the music is banging and there are more songs I want to add in, but the main one was one of my favourites. But I can't take credit. That goes to White Bat Audio. Check out his channel on youtube https://www.youtube.com/c/WhiteBatAudio/videos He does some great tunes royalty free and also compiles them into hour long videos, which I find are great for coding sessions.

Yeah just for the sake of not wanting to add useless items I took stuff out. There were meant to be keys, crowbars, murder weapons and more. But there use in the game hadn't been realised, so I took them out for now. Also combat was so close to being finished, but was too buggy and I wouldn't have been able to submit this on time. Another day or two and I think it would be ready.

Glad you enjoyed this! I enjoyed making this. I'll keep updating it on here and possibly put some demos and devlogs on youtube. Depending on time.

Also, your game looks really good. Very polished and very fun. Love the shapeshifting mechanic, mixed with sun chasing. Allows you to pull of some really sick combos to escape the sun. Haven't had a chance to finish the game fully yet, as I'm not very good lol, but looking to get to yours and a few others tomorrow, so I can review it properly :)
