A pretty enjoyable game which offers a similar energy to it's inspirations such as Buckshot Roulette. I do wish we were able to see an example of the "investigate the small room around you" mentioned in the description as that'll allow for even more feedback, but it's early days so that may come in an update. As I mention in my video I think some form of difficulty settings could help with replay ability; some checkpoints on easy and none on hard, the Handler using some dirty tactics in the later round on hard, things like that.
I'm curious to see what happens narratively, why my character was chosen by the Handler, why they offer a 'fair game' and what other stories they'll come out with as each round passes. I also think if more items are added, a small guide in the main menu can be helpful for newer players, maybe even stylise it so it looks like something crudely drawn up by the Handler for their victims. Overall I'm curious to see how this game is built on and hope my feedback has been useful!
Thanks for the feedback, and for making a video!! There are currently 4 other items in the game that are not available in the demo, along side a new gameplay mechanic! I think the knife minigame could be really cool, and I will attempt to implement that in!
I struggled trying to figure out how much of the game I should reveal in the demo, (such as the exploration aspect) as I do want to keep some of it a secret, but I see what your are saying about wanting to get a chance to test that for feedback, and I will see what I can do.
As for your questions about the story, there is one special story item (a news paper) that you can get from the item box on either rounds two or three, if you are interested in learning a little more. But for the rest of the narrative you will have to wait for the full game, it will all be explained eventually!
The item manual would be a great addition, and I am currently working on putting it into the demo, along side difficulty settings. Your feedback has been really valuable, thanks for taking the time to play FUSE!
Great video!!
