like the new revised demo ! but i like this game since demo1 where i really liked some daylight setting , and the new area past the campfire reminds some
This game has some potential. art and environment is good, but unfortunately there's nothing to do in the gameplay. Just walk from point a to b, rinse and repeat. I get it's a demo but i felt more could of been added to it to bring in more attention to it. Decent job guys, but could be better.
I really dig the art, atmosphere, controls, and animations! All great!
However, as the game currently stands, the play-time of this game is HEAVILY artificially lengthened with long narrow uninteresting pathways that have you go back and forth over and over again.
This game does seem to have a lot of potential. I hope these issues get remedied somehow in the future that either shorten these areas, or make them much more interesting.
The idea of a gothic medieval version of Mandy, with a lot more melancholy than heavy metal, is wonderful. Loved the demo - are then any plans for console too? I know a fair few people who love this.
so I finished the demo. The atmosphere and sound design was cool. The environments are fantastic, it really felt like I was wandering the woods that I would when I was a kid. At the moment it does feel like not much is going on and it's just a walking simulator. I noticed that you can attack if you hit spacebar so I'm really looking forward to when combat is implemented. you have something really special on your hands here and I'm excited to see what's next for this game. Keep it up!
Hi, I'm a Game Dev Lecturer based in the UK. I really enjoyed playing this demo and look forward to purchasing it upon release. If you're receptive to any constructive feedback, please feel free to message me at alan.stewart@chi.ac.uk. But also totally understand if you're up to your eyeballs in feedback so feel free to ignore :) All the best with your continued development and keep up the great work.
the art style with the dithering looks absolutely incredible, i'm obsessed with the atmosphere!!! i couldn't help but just keep complimenting how cool it looks. i think backing the camera back a bit would make it feel nicer with the angle being used here, as it's only like half of the screen currently. otherwise, great demo, kudos!
hi Acorn , big fan of the old demo here , i think i kinda like the old autumn day setting more , but also this one is very good! even more eerie ; what can i say ? i like this game , unlike most people , i like the walking simulator setting ;) something i would really add is few more sounds like winds and a breaking branch... some things like these , to add even more to the amazing atmosphere .
sorry ,but i really hate it the camera is just so zoomed in i did not have a feel for the atmosphere ,just a walking simulater ,i really did not finish the full demo but i just cant continue
Absolutely amazing, I'm so in love with how the story starts and I truly hope this will get a full release, I can't wait to see where the story goes. I love that when you die you sorta get a ''second chance'' by finding your body in that misty area (though I maybe would add some randomness and other elements to that place, so it doesn't get repetitive). I absolutely adore the art style, it's gorgeous. In short, amazing job and I hope you continue working on this.
unlike any game you'll see around. Think of it as gothic romance bought to life, or the lyrics of dark romantics like The Doors, The Cure and Bauhaus if they had a videogame attached.
The game is in development at the moment with no date for release but if the demo is anything to go buy, it will leave a mark on an oversaturated market and hopefully, more will follow after this, that won't be afraid of breaking the bonds of what's normal.
Absolutely recommended if you hadn't guessed.

Interesting, I just had some trouble with space key to rid me from enemy or punch him. The second choice is easier to end it up. Nice game and thanks to share it with us. Video:
Yeah, I watching the others they camping as a choice. I did it first time I played, so when I was recording I linger there thinking "hum ... ahm, if do I refuse camp here and walk in the woods at night? Some threats? Yep, a threat indeed. Nice. I didn't see that path had a fork to avoid that thing. At the third times I died I saw. Cool, congratulations. I hope a long life to this project.
this is the atmosphere i was looking after ! tried many games , but this is the only one that truly got it right (next close is witch hunt) ; and i mean the late autumn/early winter rainy haunted woods setting.

I couldn't finish it.
It seemed interesting at first but it was just a walking simulator with no guide at all to tell you where to go.

Great job otherwise!

Full Demo NO COmmentary

Amazing Visuals. Atmosphere is so intense, while it is not scary (which is good in my opinion). Engaging hero. So, I can't wait for full version.

Truly a breath of fresh air in a plethora of copy paste games. this had such a nostalgic and dark romance feel to it.
Amazing graphics. Loving the game so far!

Really cool game.
Cool game, the full thing is gonna be raw. One thing that struck me as odd was that the protagonist breathes even though he's a skeleton. Kinda wack.
Is this game still being completed? I'd love to play the full game.

i really hope this game get released soon !
