Hey Dev, I gave it a go during my Monday live streams (Embeded below) and I wanted to share my opinions on the game.
The Good:
- Atmosphere is great
- Visuals are great
- Voice acting and overall plot is good.
- The first person camera was pretty cool
Now for the stuff that I recommend looking into:
The First bit is the camera changes, I immediately want to ask why? The change to first person was pretty cool but all the other changes seem really gimmicky like they where just thrown in there to meet a course requirement. I would recommend getting rid of most of them.
The second aspect is that the game immediately sucks you in and you feel invested in the story, however, the game never really rewards you for that investment, in my game play, I encountered like 3-4 events, the first structure was super cool and added to the story but it took a bit to get there. The second one I explored a bit and found what I think was a skeleton? due to the camera orientation I couldn't actually see what the dialogue was talking about, so that kinda sucked. The last event was the massive structure that shoots the pulse waves. This really through off the flow of the game for me, it went from an interesting story driven exploration game to an action game with a course so difficult it made me want to stop playing. Really sucked to get SOOO far into the game only to be met with that.
This game has so much potential, everything is on the right track but I do think it needs a fair bit of work yet.
Feel free to reach out if you have questions or want anything clarified. Or if you want me to take another look at some point.
