Hey there. Congratulations on the release of your demo!

Feedback:

  • First of all, there’s no journal. I quickly forgot the password Adam gave me, so I had to restart. You should either add the password within the quest log label or make a journal to store these things. Some people just forget fast, so some quality of life would be nice.
  • The FPSController just feels jittery, but I can’t exactly pinpoint what’s wrong.
  • The questlog doesn’t always show the exact ongoing quest. It sometimes displays the previous one even though the quest is done     
  • No option to change the mouse sensitivity. The default setting is very high.
  • The laptop with all the password fields was buggy. It has two UI panels stacked on top of eachother. You should make a smooth transition into the UI.
  • The player doesn’t have voice acting even though the cinematic/dialogue has voice acting. 
  • The HUD shouldn’t be shown whenever there’s a cinematic/dialogue ongoing. 
  • Picking up the landline phone makes the player stuck in a weird way.
  • Some object sizes like the house doors and furniture seem huge compared to the player’s view height.
  • Hitting the TAB key opens up the game options. TAB is usually used for toggling an inventory.
  • Interaction with doors feels weird and sometimes don’t respond. You should consider using raycasts.
  • The key box outside was empty. What’s the purpose then?
  • The phone in the player’s hand sometimes flickers / glitches.
  • I never found the power source. I tried to look for it outside, but ran into invisible colliders everywhere.
  • Be careful that the whole game isn’t going to be all about passing in missing passwords here and there. That isn't very challenging and it quickly becomes a bore too. Instead, add more variety for the player to do.

These were the main things that I could think of. I hope you find it useful. Happy developing!

Cheers

Thank you so much for taking out the time to write such detailed feedback! I'm fixing a lot of the things you're pointing out. Some of them I cannot yet reproduce because they don't happen on some machines.

I would love to watch your recording! Please do share with me. Thanks again Aces Games!

I appreciate that you liked my feedback and I'm glad to hear you found some of it useful too. 

I've added the video in my original comment. I’ve edited the video a little bit, since I played in two sessions, mainly because I forgot the password in the first session. Hopefully it can give you an idea what I'm talking about. 

Wish you good luck with your game!
