a well-kept arranged layout, the atmosphere was carried by a solid theme and steady paced so far. the feel i got reminded me of ‘to the moon’ vibes and other cozy/home setting RPGs, but this was already a good quality work that stood on its own among them. not much of horror or plot progressed yet for me to draw up a fixed review yet, but there did some built-up mystery, it was cool touch of crossing space boundary or whatever to witness the few fourth-wall breaking moments from the code that was visible to the player POV/bird eye’s view and that true end connected through credits (just need to smooth out the transition on this a bit more).
now onto the things i want to point out;
-
the first one that threw me off track for some good minutes was when i searched for the basement because it was very easily missed with the arrow-point of the room being almost hidden by the wall like around here,
i think it would be good to make an entryway gap placed like for the bathroom, bedroom and end of hallway on second floor. -
secondly, this sentence order could be switched to beginning as proper response that sounds it would flow better naturally. or you know, replace “though” with “anyway” for a more fitting way to conclude the reason, or again, keep the sentence order as is and add subordinating conjunction of because/since (to connect their relation for the reason).
-
the third was, when i encountered this kinda glitch of Joseph opening and looking out the door after i just returned from the attic to get the camera (spooked me frighten than when i had the ghost jumpscare tbh haha;;)
maybe it triggered because i just headed to the attic right away in the middle of separating with him as he went back to his room? couldn’t say for sure though. -
fourth and finally, i didn’t expect for the bad end only to be difficult to get, i thought it would be affected by the choices at the end. also had replayed it through without reading through the note or diary with the assumption of the specific action affecting ends and still didn’t get it, so.. any hint? i noticed the hospital scene on mom’s room in the bug fixes that led me to wonder if it was related on how i didn’t encounter any scenes like that as the bug or it really was supposed to be not there as part of the bug fix.
