ANOTHER CHRISTMAS BANGER! A very well done hide-and-sneak horror game! I didn't even realize you were the same dev that made MEET SANTA until I saw the portrait on the wall LOL!
Thank you for the fun :D
I understand and really like the concept of having separate limbs having health bars but jesus dude, there's gotta be a lock on system if you want something like that considering that it's tough to aim at those spots with an axe.
Also since when you die you start all the way over, you might want to add a skip dialogue option, especially considering that you're stun-locked during the dialogue while the zombies can still move and ATTACK YOU.
And the weapons deal too little damage to be able to take care of a horde if they group up on you, there needs to be some tweaks made to that if you want people to actually kill the zombies instead of just going around them and hoping they don't hit you while you speedrun the game.
I have to agree with Niven on the bad aspects when it comes to making a mistake.
I would say a happy medium would be to just send the player back to the beginning of the tutorial, rather than to close the entire game. You WANT people to play your game and stay in the game for as long as possible, and by kicking the player out completely, you lose immersion and disincentivize the player to continue.
When I started over, I noticed that the name would change in the tutorial menu, which is a great little hint at what's going on, which is why I think going straight to the tutorial would be better than having to re-open the game and sit through the credits. I end up spam clicking until I'm caught up to where I was anyway.
But that's my two cents, AMAZING game, otherwise! :D
