once you get caught and need to struggle free the time for getting out is barley long enough. took me a while to figure out you have to hold the buttons instead of tap them, but even then the escape bar does not fill up nearly fast enough, and to make it worse your progress doesn't save with every attempted escape. it makes me think I may as well reset the whole game when I am caught.
Edit: brute force my way through the game and managed to get all the way to the first save point with the witch despite the overall punishing difficulty and yeah, I'm done. when I found out that every time you hit continue it will now spawn you tied up I decided that the couple of enemies that can catch the girl I was looking forward to are not worth it.
the enemy placement is unfair at times, the enemies require 3 hits to down them which would not be a problem if most did not just walk through my attacks or shoot me anyway and the struggle mechanic needs a complete rework. stopping every 2 seconds of a fight because my arms are tied is already annoying, but it is made worse by the fact that the stamina fills very slowly and so inbetween each time you struggle you have to sit there for 5 minutes, have mercy! And to top it all off EVERY TIME I get a game over I have to do the luck based timing minigame ten plus times till it finally lets me escape and then challenge the room again only for the same thing to happen! I am in hell!
please fix this. I wanted so bad to like this game because your animations look really good and it was an interesting concept, but at the current state I just can't bring myself to play anymore.
