This game is so close to being awesome but makes a few missteps. Understanding that it's a jam title makes it a little easier to deal with but there's just so little feedback from the game. First off, the HOLD to interact with a lack of any indicator before the action takes place lead to me assuming something couldn't be interacted with due to the delay. Secondly, the low res filter makes it very difficult to see things from a distance. Because of the bench and blood surrounding it, I'm sure a lot of players will never find the key unless they come back to look at the game page like I did and see the screenshot. Overall, this was amazing in terms of its suspense, atmosphere, pacing and effects but those two choices dragged the whole experience down for me.

Thank you for your feedback! We adressed every issue in your video and comment, and we now believe that we achieved both an immersive and fun experience with our new 2.0 version of New Message.
