Above is my playthrough and below are my thoughts on the game:
This is a good concept, however it needs a lot of work. There are some things I would like to have addressed in the future of this project, mainly being:
- The Flashlight is basically useless because the game is bright enough, which is fixable with a brightness slider or not implementing the flashlight. The Flashlight could have a cool purpose, like seeing invisible writing on a wall or something
- The world feels off; you are a child but yet everything seems tailored to the player height, making your height actually be a challenge could be a interesting mechanic for puzzle solving?
- Placement of some objects like benches or the diagonal wall are off and make the world not feel that immersive, I never felt like I was in a “Mirror World”, there is a lot you can do with this concept (Mirror World) but it hasn’t been executed well in this, sadly.
- Slenderman is not a real threat, not saying he has to be, but that you can always look directly at him kind of contradicts the other Slender games and what I believe to be a key feature of Slenderman
- His Pathfinding is also not great
- This has no business being (extracted) 7GB, or a 3GB download, compressing the game assets would be nicer for most people and people who maybe do not have either good storage or good internet connection considering how short this Part 1 is.
- The Part 1 leaves a lot of questions about the story and the world itself which sadly hasn’t been explained
I had fun playing it, however it was not a game I would consider scary, but there is a lot you can work on in making it better
