Pros and cons are down below) Check out my vid here (likes and subs are highly appreciated and the game is the 2d there):
Advantages:
1. The game had some really good scares and the monster was terrifying as well. The bathroom really creeped me out!
2. I liked that there were lots of lore. I couldn't really take time to read it while I was playing but I read everything upon editing the vid)
3. I liked that the game had voice acting from different characters! I think that's pretty neat!
Disadvantages:
1. I don't know why but the text of the notes would fade away after some short time. It was a bit annoying, maybe it would be cool fixing that.
2. I think the game could use some more work on pacing. The scares were really close to each other. I didn't have time to appreciate one as the other scare would pop up already. I think it would be nicer if there were a bit less scary moments (as when there are tons of them - they are not scary anymore), but they would be more powerful.
3. At the start of the video you can see that something was very wrong with the girl's physics. It was hilarious though.
Overall:
I think that the game is pretty good but could use some more work still. I think the scares being so closely together made the game less scary and I didn't really like that. Still, I think the game deserves 5/5 stars as a ton of work was clearly put into this project and there is a full version of the game out already.
Thanks for the Feedback, we will work on the fixes you mentioned. Most of the scares in the game are just animatronic props for decorations, we are thinking about getting rid of the stinger sounds so it doesn't feel like a real scare. This should help in momentum. Will fix the test, thanks you for this. Loved the video, you are a great you tuber.
Man, when that lady rushed for the first time haha I agree with what's been said, the game shows promise of being decent, but with some needed fixes. The bigger project of what this demo is a piece of sounds like a cool experience. And I loved the many many triggers throughout the game. My suggestions: The feel of the game felt spooky, but the pacing in-between triggers was very rushed. Using the environment and objectives can really smooth things out. Same with the VO. The pacing of dialogue between characters wasn't fluid, and sort of ran on top of each other. But don't give up on the bigger project! I'd love to play the other levels and see how they connect and flow with each other.
Great work!
edit: I just realized the full game was released on Halloween of 2019, but this demo was published on itch 10/13/20.
This could use some work, honestly. I found a few glitches that you should be aware of. Like the zombie girl would disappear randomly and at times would get stuck walking through the doors or by the floating furniture. An interesting one, which was my favorite, the blonde was stuck behind the entrance to the street and when I tried interacting with her, her boobs started shaking rapidly lmao. As well, it felt like there was no sound design. The voices sounded like they were just recorded and unedited. They also sounded a bit robotic or monotoned. There was a bunch going on at once that I didn't understand what to look at either, so the fear element was gone when trying to find the entrance. Some triggers would also trigger without me noticing or knowing where to look. It felt more like a fun house than a horror game in my opinion. However, I do wish you guys luck and keep at it! I see a lot of potential and hopefully this game will get better along the way. Stay safe out there and I wish you all the best. :)
Thanks for playing, we are aware of most of this issues and working on fixing them. The game is a haunted attraction which turns into horror :P If we could get more funds we will work on audio. We are about to release Halloween DLC map. we are having a contest to win the Full game on Discord. link in Description.
I don't know how many people are in your team but, I am a music producer and have worked in sound design for a few games. You can find them on here too. If you'd like to check them out, look up "Aislin's Story: Bloodbath Trials" and "A Grim's Tale," by Owl Nest Studios and "El Masmelo" by RBD for a scream jam. I only look for credit to expand my portfolio and if there is income, I'm down for that too, I mean, who wouldn't be?? lol. Again, I do wish the best for all of you. If you want to contact me, my email is atenmusicofficial@gmail.com.
thanks, i recorded your information. I will send you an email when we need audio work done. currently we just plan to update the voice actors. but not anytime soon.
I really hope I get to play the girl waiting for you at the entrance door... hehe. This game had some cheap scares, but they were effective! Here's my playthrough on my 10th episode of FRIGHT!
Thanks for playing, Will check your video on Halloween :) If you want the full game, join our discord, we have a contest going on where u can have a chance to win.
Thanks for the great comments. Yes i agree with voice acting, we need to hire professionals. We will do that when we get funds. Check our discord, there is a contest were you can win the full game.
This would be great, but not sure if we will be able to update the game this year. We just don't have the time required. Record something and send a wave file to sinisterhalloween@outlook.com (Sinister Halloween Audio in the subject line) We can keep in touch. Thanks for liking the game so much.
Thanks for playing, The voice acting is from us, we don't have the funds to hire professionals yet, we will change this when we get funds. (is it the sound of voice or the spoken words?)
I loved the spooky vibe and all but it kept crashing a few times don't know why. But I still enjoyed it and hope you like my gameplay video! (Likes and subs are much appreciated)
Thanks for playing, looks like you opened the floor plate in the ground and then fell into the grinder. Its used to kill the chainsaw killer if you like, i would keep it closed so you don't fall in. Great video thanks for playing. Check out discord page for a chance to win free game.
Everything looked good, but my experience wasn’t so hot. I loved the atmosphere; kind of like a small town celebrating Halloween, but with something real going on under the town’s nose.
But the game crashed early on; I refused to read any documents after that point. Voice overs and sound effects were all running over one another, and events were happening at every moment, sometimes without context.
Thanks for playing. Looks like you had a good time, you went through the game pretty quick, most things you keep missing. If you try to play a little slower you should be able to see what is going on, maybe we should slow down the player, we will see if this persists with other players and change the character speed. Thanks for your input.
