I almost didn't play because on the surface I thought it was branded like another cash grab mascot horror game. I'm so happy I gave it a chance, I had an amazing time playing so I wishlisted it on steam and cant wait for the full game.
Uma demo interessante apesar de um pouco bugada em alguns momentos. Ter que equipar cada item que eu preciso usar no inventário é meio sacal. Ficar de olho na versão final. Levando em consideração que é uma demo de 8-10 minutos, vale a pena conferir.
Interesting demo, a few bugs here and there. Having to equip every item I need to use is kinda annoying, Sadman death just happens, no clue to what killed him, was it Fred? Was it another member of the company? Other than that, it's a cool concept for an 8-10 minute demo. Reminds me of My little neighborhood.
I really enjoyed this demo and I'm looking forward to the full game. A couple of bugs I encountered: the AI for the IT guy got him stuck and killing one of the baddies on the stairs made it impossible to go back up the stairs. Otherwise, this was really solid!
I got here from DuckTheAugust's gameplay video. Anyways, this is a decent and fun demo, but I'd like to point the flaws out first, since I think they pale in comparison to the good qualities.
Warning! Spoilers for the demo below!
I do not like the fact that there's no control menu, and instead the game opts to show you the controls at the start of the game. Each individual control takes too long in my opinion to proceed to the next one. Why not just add a controls menu, where players can read each control at whatever speed they want? Another flaw, I guess, is the fact that the ambience of the building is relaxing, not at least creepy. This is a horror game, and while relaxation is a pleasant feeling, horror games are not meant to relax the player, unless if they're providing a break from the horror, which the part of the game with the ambience playing is not. Another thing is the fact that the characters giving you stuff do not have an animation for that; the thing they give you just pops out of nowhere. The 4th one is the fact that when Sadman dies, he just dies out of nowhere. There's no clue why he was murdered, 5th, during the fetch quests, there should be more obstacles in the player's way before they can give a character what they want, 6th, there should be more secrets, like for example, I'll suggest you to make it so that you can break bathroom stall doors with the cereal gun, and if you break the one with the guy behind, he'll just stare at you forever, and also, you can break other things in the building with the gun, 7th, there's no pause or options menu, and 8th, the hurt sound sounds too goofy.
Okay, now to the good qualities. 1st, the puzzles are pretty fun to solve. 2nd, I like how there are enemies in the building that I can defeat, 3rd, when hiding in the chest after the alarm goes off, when Fred goes near the chest, it can cause you to get scared that he'll catch you, 4th, the game's pretty funny, ("Mha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!" "Come to me!") 5th, the enemies look creepy, 6th, operating the cereal gun is pretty fun. You can even destroy doors with it! 7th, I like how walking on blood makes a gross sound; I like that detail, and 8th, the warehouse minigame is pretty fun and challenging.
Hopefully dev, you read the whole article, and you can fix the bad qualities listed above, and amplify the good qualities also listed above.
Thank you for the detailed criticism. All of the elements you have listed are very good elements to make someones playtime more enjoyable, which i totally agree with. Since this is just a DEMO, i have left a lot of things that we originally wanted to add.
Everything else that you have listed will definitely be changed and/ or improved. Thank you!
You're very welcome! This is why I like when developers listen to constructive criticism and improve the game based on the criticism!
Hopefully, when the update comes, DuckTheAugust will make a gameplay video on said update, and I wanna see his thoughts on it!
Another flaw is that when you collect an item, and there's an unoccupied slot, the item doesn't go into the first unoccupied slot, but rather in the chest, making the player have to go through a short but tedious process by going into the chest to select the item.
Three more flaws I'm going to point out is that once the enemies see you, they will always chase you, no matter what, and also, when they're chasing you, they clip through closed doors. Also, even when you're not in their point of view, they'll detect you if you're close enough. Make them have to have you in their point of view before they detect you.
i thought this was pretty cool, considering how popular the whole mascot trait has become latley its difficult to find something thats different and although this has alot of those traits i think it does have potential the blaster was a pleasent surprise although i think the charge is a little tedious and the story could be fleshed a little as i felt there was a small amount of lore in this but could of had alot more, all in all im intruigeed and curious to see what the full game will bring
The character outfits were so unsettling and why would Fred make his employees were them?! We loved this demo and have so many more questions. You told a great story in a short time. The cereal gun was fun to use and worked well. The puzzles made sense and that is always apricated. The only bugs we encountered was when we clicked on the spoon case, it wouldn't let us change the colors. We had to approach it from the side. Keep up the good work! Fred is a great character and the cereal factory is excellent setting.
This was a fun game definitely took me a bit to figure out the puzzles but i did like that i got a gun it made it alot more fun compared to a normal horror game keep up the good work and i will definitely check out the full game i hope that you enjoy the gameplay
Once and a while you find a banger like this on itch.io I was really impressed with this game the graphics were really good and you didn't even have to use motion blur. there's definitely a lot of potential for this game and i cant wait to see what you do with it! 9/10 from me! ~Wang

This game was actually really well made! I definitely want to know more about the lore and what happened! Nice demo to make the players want more!

Glad you figured it out :D
Can't be installed with the Launcher.
Extract the folder on desktop, don't open directly through the zip file. If it doesn't work, make sure to mail me.
Please let there be a full release! I'd stream this one. I loved this, the style was great & puzzles etc.
Here is my playthrough with final thoughts at the end! Hope you will enjoy?
