Hi, I was wondering if you would consider expanding on some of your points. I play games on the internet and agree with your point about misleading commentary. I would find it valuable to get a developer's views on this.
Could you expand on what you mean by, or maybe give an example of, showing spoilers: do you mean things like showing the main bad guy / jumpscare in the thumbnail or showing the full game and ending meaning the viewers don't have an incentive to go play for themselves?
Also, do you think there's any distinction between videos that just walkthrough the game with no commentary and videos that do commentary over them? Do these two types of videos present different issues/problems for games and developers?
Any insights from you as someone who makes games would be very interesting for me in understanding and navigating this dabate
Thanks
Very fun little game indeed, I really like the different bad guys and how you had to employ different tactics for each and the different environments of the forest and the cave. Only flaw I found was in the cave after you get the key, if you die you will respown at the enterence which is now your goal meaning you don't have to carefully escape the cave. If when you picked up the key you respowned where the key was, this would be better. But that's a very little point in a very enjoyable little experinc!
Everything from these developers is awesome and this is no exception, very nice grungy environments that change-up often enough to keep things interesting while you explore a very well told story. So stop reading comments and go play the game, you'll love it, then play their other games, you'll love those too!
I tried to play this and enjoyed what I saw, however every time I tried to load a save, the game killed me and reduced my health to zero. It also crashed lots of times. The flickering lights also gave me a headache. Which stopped me getting too far into the game. But the enemies were interesting visually, the sounds were good and the environments were varied. But having to restart the entire game after each crash or death got frustrating. But it seems very good, just hard to play.
This is an excellent story driven horror game. It lives up to the high standard of story telling Crux Games have, this is a worthy successor to their past projects. And it's great to see a studio innovate and develop their style and abilities. If you like a spooky story, you'll like this and the other games by Crux as well which are also very impressive.
