First and foremost, I want to say this, MAD RESPECT on you for taking the initiative to create and put something out into the world!
Before I dive into my critique, let me emphasize this: Continue creating and learning from every experience. With that commitment, you're on the path to crafting something truly exceptional. I have no doubt that you have what it takes.
+++ Positives +++
+ The Visuals: I love the visuals! They perfectly capture the vibe of those old hotels from the '80s that never got renovated—like stepping into a time capsule. You've nailed that nostalgic, slightly eerie atmosphere that feels both familiar and unsettling+
+ The Environment: The environment is isolating and somewhat claustrophobic. It is as if people occupied the rooms but just disappeared; all you see are the messy bedsheets and trash. I love the normality of the environment and chores. It feels unsettling that there is something sinister underneath the normality.
+ The Sound: the humming, if that isn't the hotel experience, I don't know what is!
+ The Health bar: Using cracks on the screen to represent health was very original
--- Areas for Improvement ---
- The Monster: I will assume you didn't do enough to create a monster because the monster isn't great; it is placeholder characters from Unity. There is so much opportunity. I know you can make it terrifying!
- Lack of Story or Lore: The premise you've created is can an amazing vehicle for rich story-building. Each room can have notes, what is the hotel and the strange occurrence.
- The Jumpscare: Doors slamming your face, the TV turning off, they are great initially but overused.
- Door glitch: When you have completed everything in the room, and the ghost slams the door in your face, you should check the mark for completing the room.
- Action glitch: Sometimes you do one of the cleaning actions, you get the loading bar, and it completes, but nothing happens.
Final Thoughts:
If you address these points, you'll have something truly special on your hands!
Rating: 3.9/5
