Thank you for the amazing game!
Been waiting for the full release since playing the demo a year ago and it didn't disappoint!
The only criticisms I can give are about the aforementioned technical issues, the framerate dropping while turning too quickly was the worst by far. But fix that up and you've got an awesome horror experience here!
I love the core game that you've built. It takes a bit long to get through the tutorial but it's worth it. I enjoy the overall atmosphere and gameplay, it just feels like something is missing. The ghost itself isn't all to scary or threatening but the sound design is great! It's more enjoyable as a puzzle game than a scary game imo.
One random issue I kept having was with the main inventory. You I couldn't dual wield any of the main items, candle, lighter, and music box. However it seems like you should really be able to walk around with the music box plus a light source. The candle is far greater than the lighter too so I never even bothered with it. And it's way too dark to sacrifice a light source for the music box. Plus I never even needed the box for anything.
I did get lost and confused for a big portion of the video but I eventually understood what was going on. There's just a lot to remember and it's easy to forget one or two key parts of the game through all that. Like how I forgot how to put down the items lol.
Overall fun game though!
I did turn down the graphics settings just because I'm used to having to do that for most games by default. But even with them down on the second lowest setting the game still looked amazing! I'm sure you already saw my video but I love the water filled room in particular.
You've done an awesome job making a truly scary short horror game in my opinion. Thanks for making it!
Amazing job, I can't wait to see what you can turn this demo into!
I did summarize a lot at the end of the video but I'll add some in here as well. I was going in thinking it would be something kinda similar to the F.E.A.R games so I expected a lot more horror elements, although I did get jumpscared more than once lol. The general feel of the game and the guns does feel REALLY good. If I had to give any criticism on the guns it's that some of the stronger weapons feel too similar to the weaker ones. For example the deagle felt the same as the L9 pistol. Obviously the deagle is more powerful but it didn't feel like it was. Also some ambience would help a ton. I had to add in music because it felt lonely without it.
By the way, I have no idea why, but I wasn't able to play the latest 1.8 version. It wouldn't let me past the "press any button to start" screen so I'm playing 1.6.
For what's here, it's pretty fun. I definitely had a good time. Keep it up! Can't wait to see what this becomes! Thanks for making it!
Ignoring that big issue, I really did start to get into the game after the crown section. The beginning was a bit slow for me but it definitely picked up when it needed to. I wish I could've experienced more of the game but I ended it soon after the controls reversed but apparently there's 5 endings??? That's pretty awesome.
All together, ignoring the inverting bug, this is a pretty cool game. Really reminded me of older games like dungeon nightmares and similar titles. Thanks again for reaching out and thanks for making it!
Your game is the last in the video! For 9 days this isn't too bad! I couldn't help but find the game very comedic. The horror just didn't hit with me personally. Maybe that was the intention, maybe not. If so then great job! Either way I had a really fun time playing. I appreciate anyone who goes out and makes a game for others to play. Thanks for making it!
Your game is the 5th in the video! I'm not sure why, but this one just didn't hit right with me. I left the experience more frustrated than scared. The combination of the extremely loud chase sound combined with the pitch black section kinda soured my mood. I'm definitely not saying it's bad, it's just not for me. There's some really creative stuff going on here for sure. I still appreciate the effort you've put in to make a game, for FREE even! Thanks for making it!
