Even though this game is still in it's early stages of development, it's absolutely amazing! The dim atmosphere really makes you feel like you have to be ready to run or fight at any time since it's so dark and difficult to see any threats. I also love all the blue tones! - it really makes the Yandere girl's red eyes pop out from her shadowy figure. The Yandere girl is actually very scary! She doesn't immediately run after you with her knife, she peeks out from behind walls and stares at you from afar, she stops sometimes just to giggle and laugh crazily like she's wanting to scare you! And she's definitely doing a good job with that because as soon as she stops being creepy to run after you with her knife, it's terrifying! The music is also super good! It really adds a lot of anxiety and fear when trying to hide from her, and there's cool little bits of suspenseful music when she says some things like, "Found you!" or "You're in this room, aren't you?", it's so creepy and it's awesome!! I'm very happy with this game and also very excited so see how it develops, amazing experience!!
I literally made an account on here just to express my love for this game so far! Although I do have a few criticisms for it that you don't have to agree with by any means, most of them are just little nitpicks that I think could make the player experience even more enjoyable!
1. When the protagonist dies from Yandere-girl stabbing him to death, I think the game over screen should be a blank color (maybe red or black with those dark blood splatters at the corners of the screen?), if that were to happen I would really feel like the protagonist did die since the world around him has gone completely blank.
2. The line, "I am going to punish you.", personally really rubs me the wrong way and instead of making me scared, it kinda just made me recoil in disgust, lol. I personally don't think it's needed but it doesn't really matter all that much.
3. Yandere-girl laughs very frequently and I think maybe it'd be a bit better if she laughed sparingly. Those moments of silence can be really scary for a player since in those moments we might have no idea how close she is. Also it'd be really cool if her laughs became faded or muffled depending on how far away she was from the player, it would also give the player a nice hint on how close she is to them. Same could go for all the things she says.
4. The voice acting is good but, I dunno I feel like it could be even creepier! Yandere-girl's voice is soft and high-pitched and I love how she actually speaks Japanese! But I feel like she could have just a little bit more emotion in her voice when speaking to the player, maybe a more creepy/playful tone like she's having fun looking for the player?Just a tiny bit more of emotion in all her words could make her even scarier.
5. When you try opening a locked door the same time Yandere-girl is speaks, the two texts will overlap each other. Maybe have the protagonist's text and Yandere girl's texts in two different areas of the screen? (ex. protag's text on top and Yan-girl's text on bottom of screen.)
6. The Yandere-girl seems to suspect the player's location and speak up about it very quickly, even right when you start the game. I feel like letting the player have a look at their surroundings in silence for a few minutes would let them have some time to take in the game's atmosphere before having to focus on escaping the school. It could even be more scarier letting the player think they're safe for a few moments before suddenly getting spooked by Yandere-girl's creepy whispers!
These are all just small nitpicks that could add just a little bit of extra spice to the game in my opinion, but it wouldn't be a big deal if not implemented. Again, really love this game! Can't wait to see future updates~
Thanks for your detailed feedback i will answer you on each point of feedback you made.
1 : In the next update its already going to be added a new death animation with new screen as the animation for that is already done just needed to be implemented.
2: Currently the lines are quit random and some of the lines might change or removed.
3: I made the laugh like that on purpose to keep the player feel unsecure but the laugh sound it self would be changed in the future because this is placeholder.
4: I made the voice feel lifeless just like how emotionless a killer feels to add creepiness factor also because i dont have many voices to work with.
5: yes currently thats a bug and will be fixed in the future.
6: yes currently the range of her voice audio is quit large and will be tweaked and reduce later in the future.
