The Parting: tutorial is out!

The tutorial for The Parting is sorta out! 🎉

After more than three years of development, I’ve decided to release this first (small) section of the game to gather feedback before the full release. If you’re interested in exploring the eerie, decaying world of The Parting, now is the perfect time to get a taste of what awaits.

Your thoughts, bug reports, and suggestions will be incredibly helpful in fine-tuning the final experience. Let me know what you think!

Hey mate, loved the tutorial and really looking forward to the full release. Just wanted to throw some feedback your way, is it possible to look at potentially having some sort of crosshair (even just a dot) that follows the mouse position when you’re not using the gun? Or perhaps even an option to switch this on and off if you don’t want to impact the visuals too much. I had a similar problem with your last game where it felt kind of disorientating when in a tight situation with an enemy and I would go to aim the gun only to have the crosshair be no where near where I thought it was. Sometimes I even had it outside of the game window and clicked outside of the game which really fucked up my playthrough. That’s the only thing that really stuck out to me during the tutorial. :)

Hey TheRedRoom!
Thanks a lot for the kind words and for taking the time to play the tutorial - really appreciate it! And huge thanks for the detailed feedback, too.
That's actually a really interesting suggestion! To be honest, I never really thought about it because I’ve only ever played with a gamepad - so I pretty much just copied the controls from Their Eyes. The decision to hide the crosshair when not aiming was purely an aesthetic choice, but I didn’t consider how it might affect gameplay. I’ll make sure to fix that ASAP!
Thanks again, and I really appreciate your support! :)
