First of all, I want to congratulate everyone who worked on creating the game because you've created a horror game
with a simple gameplay concept, but functional to its genre: making you feel the tension with a simple sound without showing anything and not making you feel comfortable in the game world.
The sound design is perhaps what I liked the most: the first few times I heard the monster sounds I really didn't want to move on; the entire visual design is also beautiful, especially in underlining the contrast between warm and cold colors, the shading and, surprisingly, also searching for the recordings to hear the development of the story.
There are some small bugs that I want to find just for the sake of completeness of my comment:
- sometimes, when you change objects, the one you just left disappears
- when I hit with the disturbance sound a monster can freeze and become harmless tangible without dying
- some naughty interpenetration between the environmental elements (especially in the part where you go up, with the precipice under)
I also wanted to give some advice on the quality of life of the game when it's in its final version hopefully that can help you:
- use a single key to crouch, keeping it in that state until you press the same key again (at the end of the game my fingers were quite sore while playing stealthily with crouching)
- put a small *beep* or in any case a sound indicator to warn the player that he can use the again disturbing sound
- expand the story even further by instilling in the player the curiosity to find all the recorders to know how events unfold, pushing exploration even further and giving the player a reward if he succeeds to overcome more dangerous areas
- game length of a couple of hours is perfect because otherwise the "hide and seek" gameplay could get annoying
prolonged for too long (e.g. Alien Isolation)
For the rest, really congratulations, I'm very curious to see your final result because it's been a long time since I was genuinely intrigued by a horror game.
