Returned to the game for the third time after waiting for the 2 last updates! My thoughts are down below) Check out the vid here:
Advantages:
1. The mechanics with the lights are pretty nice! I liked them. Can the girl turn off the lights? I never witnessed her doing that, so I'm not sure but it feels only logical that she must be able to do that! It would be so creepy!
2. The lockers work way better! Liked that a lot! She stared at me for some time which was really creepy but then left. I think that's very helpful!
3. New behaviors are lit! Her little slice attack is cool! It's not as punishing as her major one but still scares a lot! Also, liked a lot the way she waits behind the wall for you to come out of the classroom, very scary!
4. Loved that there is now more details like blood on the floor. It makes the game so scarier, actually!
5. Main character has a body!!! That is so great! I loved this addition!
Disadvantages:
1. She once got stuck while I was running away (I closed the door behind me and she got stuck there for like a minute, you can see that in the vid). And the other time she was just chilling in the center of the corridor doing nothing. Not even some weird stuff.
2. I didn't see the point in cameras. It feels like she's always on your tail so there is not much time to look at the cameras (I looked like twice and both times she was right there). I think it's good for a sneaky style of the gameplay but at the moment it's kinda hard to sneak as she catches up with the player pretty fast.
3. Her waiting behind the door and then knocking you is cool but I didn't like it as much for several reasons: firstly, she used that a lot on me and it got boring; secondly, after the first time she did it, I understood that this attack is harmless and she also gives you an ahead start after that, so the only times I was chill in the game is when she did that. It ruined the tension a bit for me. Maybe it would be helpful to let her do that less frequently. Like startle you once like that and that's it. Or add more variation to that - let her paint something on a window with blood or something like that!
4. She's covered in blood and there is blood on the floor but the main character is the only person in the school with her and unharmed at the beginning. Something doesn't add up, don't you think? It would be cool to be able to find bodies in the school, I think it has lots of potential for the spooks. Here's some ideas for you: 1. You can stuff some bodies in the lockers, so it would always be a gamble whether the player can hide in the locker or not. Scaryyy. 2. You could put like alive but wounded people somewhere behind locked doors whom the player would have to warn after opening the doors and before escaping. I think that would be awesome that the player would have to stay in the school for a bit even after opening the exit. Or the people could give you hints to different puzzles that you'd add. I think it's pretty cool. 3. The main character could trip if going over a body, that would be scary. 4. More potential behaviors for the girl. Like she could be just chilling over a body from time to time just stabbing it or saying creepy stuff.
Overall:
I'd rate the last two updates 5/5. Can't wait to see what's going to happen next! Will definitaly check your progress later again!
Hope my feedback and ideas were useful! Keep up the great work! I am literally in love with this game)
