There’s no problem with your opinion — I actually liked your review video, and I mentioned that in a YouTube comment as well. I think because I created my YouTube account recently and posted my game’s link several times in the comments of my own videos, YouTube is probably not showing my comments temporarily. Either way, thanks for your review.
In my YouTube comment I said:
The best way to locate the monster is by paying attention to the lights. Any light the monster walks under turns off for about 3 seconds, and the whole map is filled with lights. The monster also has footsteps, but to hear them clearly you need to stand still; if you’re running, your own footsteps mix in and make it harder to notice.
About filling the map: yes, you’re absolutely right — the map looks empty for two reasons:
1. I didn’t want the game size to become too large.
2. If there are too many objects in the environment, finding the key becomes difficult.
(Although in the full version, some rooms are filled with a lot various objects.)
Also, since the monster is constantly getting closer to you, the player doesn’t really have much time to explore. They must find the key quickly and keep moving.
Thank you for your feedback. I’m an amateur game developer, and it has only been about a month and a half since I started making games. My goal right now is to create a few small projects to earn a bit of money so I can afford to make better games in the future and publish them on Steam (the $100 publishing fee + advertising costs).
About the full version of the game: in the full version, instead of one monster, there are three hidden monsters. The keys are placed in different locations on the map, and the player is forced to travel back and forth multiple times while being chased by three invisible monsters.
edit: i also reply on youtube to you. but my comment its look like deleted !
