Incredibly ambitious, unique and and cinematic. The first few seconds of seeing the menu screen and starting the game immediately set the tone of the level of quality from what I'd expect from AA-level games.

It was cool seeing elements of faith used freely in a game, and I never would've imagined myself enjoying gameplay related to painting, which could've had some more guidance but at the same time was intuitive once you started. Amazing sound track, video quality but also subtle details like consistency in facial features, mouth-tracking, etc.

The most notable feedback I thought of was the framerate and lag I experienced, likely from the level of scale, video rendering and optimization. It made it hard to do the guidance portion at the start of the game (which also could've benefitted from some more guidance). Conceptually this would be a game to continue if some more features were added to alter the core game loop in my opinion!

Very well done, rated!

Developer

Thank you for that feedback! My apologies about the lag. 🙏

You are really good at using AI for video (not so easy to do imo)! The painting part of the game is really neat, I wish it were a little more in depth though. Like adding a couple of color brushes or something could be really fun :) cool demonstration of how AI video can be used really well.

Thank you!

why after I lose all 3 hearts in the first gameplay(the ghost attack thing), it still allow me to continue playing?

Developer

Because I’m a pushover. 😁

very great, feels like if longer could be much better.

Overall: The cinematic production is genuinely impressive and shows real creative ambition, but the gameplay side doesn't come close to matching it yet.

What Worked Well:

  • Intro Cinematic: The title screen video with the rose is great, and using video footage like this has a lot of potential. The narration, the clips, the editing, the dream sequence images and their animations, all very well done. Zombie lady in the rocks was cool too.
  • AI Video Quality: Whatever video AI you used handles vocal performances and mouth movements really well. Good job leaning into physics simulations for the auras and fire effects since AI makes those easy to pull off and they look expensive.
  • Visual Cohesion: The 3D models and design language in the first gameplay area are all cohesive. The jinn is a cool character and the auras and fire around him Yussuf land well.
  • Music: The AI song works.
  • The girl at the end is pretty.

Areas for Improvement:

  • Gameplay Depth: The first gameplay area was fine and I beat it without taking any damage. The mini game feels more like a Flappy Bird level of effort demo. The cinematic production is strong enough that a more developed game underneath it would make this something special.
  • Painting Mini Game - Brush Size: The game asks you to be careful and precise with your coloring, then gives you a giant brush that can't paint individual feathers and forces you to fill in a bunch of background instead. That tension needs to be resolved.
  • Painting Mini Game - Image Mismatch: The colored and uncolored versions of the images don't match up 1:1, so you're coloring in areas that don't align with what's underneath. They need to perfectly overlap.

It's sad that ghosts are not moving / they're not animated, but other than that - I really do like the idea of the game! <3

Thank you! Yep, I’m not much of a game designer, quite honestly. 😅
