- Graphics :
- Generally quite good, although some spots could do with a touch-up like the vending machine or compost grinder.
- Music / Sfx :
- Music : Great choice on the lo-fi and metal songs, well worth the probable copyright claim.
- SFX : Generally fine
- GUI :
- Generally Fine but needs graphical options (Res, Window Type, etc.)
- Gameplay :
- It's Viscera Cleanup Detail.
- The goreticulture aspect , especially hybridizing seems is a bit finicky? I tried to hybridize and failed terribly.
- Notes :
- I didn't play all that much , but despite that I think I have a good idea of how this game is and will play.
- I liked VCUD and I like that this is adding some more complexity to it (or ease , if you use the plants correctly)
- I'd like to see more plants.
- Something VCUD had was players could be killed as there were hazards in the levels (or by your 'friends').
- I don't think this game should be afraid of doing this either.
- One potential hazard could be a mislabeled seed 1-5% chance from the vending machine (Think of mushrooms, Death Caps and Paddy Straws , you could have a more 'invasive' species of plant that tries to drink your blood or even spreads automatically so you'll need to use the shears to cull it.)
- I'd really like to see this get MP in the full-release, part of VCUD's appeal was being able to faff around with friends.
- Plants once they've drained an area of blood, die extremely quickly, maybe add a grace period before they do so , so you can quickly compost or gather seeds?
- I'd personally like to see the tutorial book have more traditional manuscript artwork for each plant / anatomy.
- The tutorial book should probably be somewhere in the levels in case the player forgets what plants do what and how to care for them.
- There's a startup issue I had, it froze my computer / stream for a little bit and made my GPU spool (sounded like it maxed out usage) , maybe there's an issue with loading everything at once on startup?
- I like that there's a kind of VCUD "office" level select, I'd like to see that expanded upon for in a full-release.
- I had to re-write this review as I lost the original, so I might edit in more later as I'm going off (bad) memory of what I originally wrote.
Overall I greatly enjoy what I see here despite my short playtime. I'd like to check out future updates and I hope that adding MP is viable as I'd certainly like to play this like I did with VCUD with friends as it makes it more fun and helps move things along.
