Great job with the update! I've noted a few bugs and issues while playing a bit. I also haven't been able to find the keys, so I will only be covering what I have noticed in the first area without them.
EDIT: I found the keys. Got confused bc the door to the room looks like and is roughly around the same area of the one that closes and locks on you. Was on me bc in the previous version both were locked and I assumed they were the same door from that. Now that I can explore more I will add new ones I find. New entries will be indicated with two dashes like "--" instead of just one.
Major:
- Items you can store in your inventory don't extend with the drawer they're in. Causing them to be fully hidden, hard to spot, and sometimes hard to take. If this is an issue that proves difficult to fix, you could have it be a 'hold to search' that works similar to lighting the candles in the environment. Then afterwards, have the drawers extend out showing it's already been searched.
-Save system is now broken. Leaves you on a black screen. Haven't tested past waiting 2-3 minutes. AI can still patrol and get you during the black screen too.
- Thorn sometimes ignores your line of sight. I can't tell if it's a mechanic for when she is messy, or a bug.
- The stinger that plays when Thorn spots you / is nearby doesn't always play. Can't tell if a bug however, so listed last.
-- Enemies in the Lab area can get stuck on each other on the stairs.
Minor:
-Candle view model vanishes in certain areas and angles. Light source is unaffected my this.
-The notes at the beginning have many duplicate texts. I have a feeling it's just placeholder, but noting just incase it was an oversight.
Personal complaints/suggestions:
-Thorn can sometimes sneak up on you without warning due to her speed. Having occasional voice lines to give you an idea where she is based off sound would help this.
-Entering lockers puts out your candle and makes you have to recombine it with the lighter each time. An idea would be to just have it permanently lit and fit in the hot-bar after the first combine. Not a major issue though.
-- You currently cannot drop items. The box works but running out of space means you have to run back to one. Mostly an inconvenience.
My ideas (not in any way a demand or requirement):
- A new enemy or the current enemies could have a chance to 'pounce' you. Keeping you in place and continuously slowly damaging you until you press a series of buttons or mash a button fast enough. Afterwards they run off. Makes for a good spook, more diversity in gameplay, and less frequent chasing.
- A mechanic where you have to change after some time or from jumpscares using the current diaper props already in the world. Not doing so could make you slower, or make a specific enemy or current enemies find you easier.
-Last one I swear haha. A slow enemy that stays still when you look at them. Looking at them could slowly damage you, or make you slowly walk towards them while you look at them (instant loss on contact for the last one).
