It is said that the saprophyte learns. which spooked me a little but i still want to know if that is true. Because of that, instead of running away from it in the first encounter with the humanoid host, i shot it and proceeded to hide behind some objects and watch the enemy to test it's a.i. (something i do in almost every horror game with an active killer).
I noticed that when it came back, saprophyte would move around randomly near the last spot it had seen me. After a lot of waiting, i moved out to continue the game... saprophyte found me and landed a shot. I quickly got away from it's line of sight and observed the a.i. randomly moving around nearby again, but this time it was shooting aimlessly (perhaps it's because it learned that shooting was the way to go?). Well, after that encounter, i never saw the enemy again, for the rest of the game, so could that be because it only learned to patrol the areas it had seen me in?.
My question is: "Does saprophyte actually have adaptive a.i./something similar or were these events coincidential?" If the a.i. IS in fact as i described, good job man.
In my opinion, artificially intelligent antagonists are the way to go in horror games. The problem is that, In the beginning, i was actually scared of the thing, but saprophyte just couldn't find me later on, so i lost the expectation of encountering with it again and lost my fear.
About the other stuff: I like how minimalistic the game is, simplicity is great for the atmosphere and made me immersed; The movement controls in grid is a bit weird at first but overall not a problem; It's cool to see games inspired by Metroid Fusion, i barely find these.
Sorry for the extremely long comment, i wanted to give you some details of my playthrough so you can learn from what was (probably) flawed.
I enjoyed the short game :)
