Honestly, I was hooked on this game from the very start. From the immersive ambient sound effects, to the relatively simple yet very well elaborated game mechanics, you can clearly tell the person who made this game has a very good understanding of these types of games and made this piece of software with a lot of care:
Pros:
- The pixel art is a visual style that (in my opinion) fits this type of game like a glove, and the quality of it here is pretty good.
- Looping your run over and over through the few days the story takes place to slowly but surely build up the main characters skills, and witnessing the results first-hand after struggling often in the beggining in the same scenes where you previously failed is incredibly rewarding.
- As mentioned in the beginning, the inclusion of subtle ambient sounds for every scene really pushes the experience to a very good level of immersion.
- Once again, I felt like the gameplay mechanics achieve a very good ballance of simplicity (easy to understand) and depth (multiple obstacles, yet multiple ways to use game mechanics to your advantage), creating an adictive experience.
Con:
- There seems to be a few persistent bugs that continue to appear every now and then during the night sequences, like the blanket not visually moving down or interactions of a previous night occuring at the start of a new night without player intervention.
¿What would player's like to see being improved upon or added on top of the current experience?
- Refinement of bugs previously mentioned.
- The option to retry a night sequence even after you finish the night without being caught.
- A "Back to Main Menu" option.
- Customization feature (buying or/and obtaining them, further extending gameplay time) for Yuna, the player's computer and different places like the kitchen or Yuna's bedroom would enrich the experience tenfold.
- Record a video with other female characters present in the game through secret options or scenes, rewarding exploration of all features/content and player ingenuity.
- Modding support to extend the games lifespan even more.
*First time I tried it I kept playing 'till almost 2:00am knowing I had to get up at 5:30am to work, if that doesn't tell you how much I enjoyed this game then I don't know what will.*
