Thank you so much for playing and for the video! It honestly made my week. Seeing someone actually help Han get home and make the red-shirt guy take off his shirt is exactly what I hoped players would do.
Your critique is spot on, and I've already written it all down:
- a proper menu with a restart option and audio/graphics settings (sorry about the page reload!)
- a clear sound cue when a new floor call comes in
- fuller, less muted ambience, and that door buzzer is too harsh
- making the memorial plaque easier to read and check against
Your wish for "more of the operator's life" really stuck with me. I'm thinking about expanding the game so you live through different eras of the Vĩnh An building, with the ghost month as the climax of each chapter, rather than just three nights.
Since you asked about the festival: in Vietnam the whole 7th lunar month is "tháng cô hồn" (wandering-souls month), when the gates of the underworld are believed to open. On the 15th (Rằm tháng Bảy), families honour their ancestors (Vu Lan), and shops and households also lay out offerings on the sidewalk for wandering souls: rice, salt, porridge, candy, and burned paper money. Afterwards people, often kids, rush in to grab the offerings. A lot of people make their offerings a day early, on the 14th, just like you mentioned. Many also avoid going out late, moving house, or making big decisions during the month.
Would you mind if I used a couple of short clips from your video (credited, of course) on the game page? Thanks again, it means a lot to a small dev!
