I watched the playtest footage, and I didn't know where the Dino came from when it jumps out at you and I didn't know there was a screwdriver. I'm pretty sure that from the footage it seems like the play tester knew where POIs were and maybe caused it to be slightly less intuitive. could be wrong and I just have a skill issue tho...
when I say chase I mean the part where he pops out at you right after the screwdriver part, it was hard because I didn't know where the dinosaur came from, it killed me seconds after I heard the noise indicating it was coming and it set me back like 4mins. Overall I just didn't understand how to survive that part in specific. Probably a skill issue but it felt unfair.
Thanks for the info! I want it to be more of an experience than a challenge, so I've just patched the game with some improvements that address all of your issues (new checkpoint upstairs, very slightly slower dino, and easy difficulty option) Even if it's still tricky, at least you won't lose a bunch of time when you die :D
