That's a very detailed and full of effort feedback 😃 Thank you so much Murushi! thanks for playing!
I already updated the game.
I just played the updated version, and it feels much more optimized now. All of the issues I experienced in the first version seem to be fixed. Great work, dev!
I also had a few small suggestions that might help polish the experience even further if you ever decide to expand on it:
Gameplay
-
At the beginning of the game, maybe there could be a subtle sound cue (like rustling leaves) where the couple is. New players might miss that interaction the first time, so a small audio hint could help guide them.
-
Sprinting could potentially be available by default. Since it’s currently only used once, having it available throughout the game might make movement feel a bit more consistent. Make it where if the player is not holding the wheelbarrow or any trash bag, they can sprint but if they're holding something, the sprint is turned off.
-
The ending might feel a little more satisfying with a small payoff or conclusion before returning to the main menu, perhaps a short explanation or closing moment.
-
When the little girl appears, it might be interesting if the camera briefly draws attention to her so players notice the moment before the dialogue starts.
Sound Effects
-
Flashlight on/off sound.
-
Picking up trash bags sound.
-
Placing trash bags onto the wheelbarrow sound.
Overall, I really enjoyed the updated version, and it feels like a big improvement over the first release. Nice work!
