Just played it for the first time. Indeed, text games are not my comfort games and I really need to focus otherwise I forget what I just read. However, you totally nailed the atmosphere with the music and the rain sounds! I struggled identifying the text, it blends a lot with the background. When the first prompt came to open the console I was confused but after solving it I was looking out for more challenges like that but it was the only one which left me a little dissapointed. My short-attention brain would definitely love more sound effects accompanying the text, like footsteps when the killer approached, pounding sound when our head pounded etc. ( maybe even raindroplets hitting the ground, shoe soles walking around like in Harry's marauder map) but that might just be me and I'm a very visual person. I also just realized that I didn't really catch the kaputt theme. It was fixing our memory, wasn't it?
Unfortunately the story didn't want to stick with me but honestly, I simply grew to struggle with stuff that isn't flashy, loud and explains all to me so I'm sorry I can't appreciate it the way I would like to ❤
The one text based game that I enjoy to this very day is The House Abandon. And that's cheating cuz it also features 1st person sections ^^
Maybe I should make a text-based game like The House Abandon ;)
I absolutely loved that game!!
Thanks for the valuable input, RainbowRat.
As for visual cues, there was rain actually implemented :D
You can see it after the third or fourth screen ;)
There was a gunshot visual as well, somewhere at the end
Maybe I should have added MORE :D
But I guess as others have mentioned, the contrast must have been a problem. :(
I think it's time I ventured more into 2d/3d games for my next jam. ;)
Ooooh I didn't want to dismiss the rain I'm sorry. It has been noticed and appreciated :D Without it the game would have been quite still indeed. I totally forgot the gunshot visual, however. See, that's what I mean with those games not being my strong suit 😭
I just checked out your previous games and I love how you improved one after another. I like the extra path for info in i want to go back and the platforming in Come to me while The Inspector's Storage has that website modification thing. Really curious to see what you will do next. There's def enough potential to keep even someone like me focused ^^
I just hope you stick with what you truly like to do :3
Thank you so much for the kind words!
And even more so that you played my previous games :D :D
Makes me extremely happy
And I loved your portfolio on Artstation!
