The representation is great. I got myself stuck by reaching a checkpoint and then dying, where the shadow and character got stuck on either side of a door. I like the balance of having to be close, but not having contact.
Thanks for sharing the bug and that you like the game mechanic. Were there more shadows when the bug occurs, or just one?
If more shadows, then they spawn fine when you die.
Just the one. So I had just walked into a room, but the shadow took its time following. So I went back into the corridor to see how far behind it was. Then I got hit and I respawned in the corridor, while the shadow was in the new room. The door in-between I had previously unlocked was locked again. So the shadow could not follow because of locked door, and I couldn't go down to get the key, because I would get to far away from the shadow and die.
That's weird. For every checkpoint there is position of player and position of the shadow set up, so this should not happen. But thanks for additional info and I hope that it will not happened to someone else.
I fee like the mechanics could be explained better at the beginning since at first I was confused on why I kept dying. But this is a good game that honestly scared me.
I should make the "tutorial rooms" more obvious, but I am glad the game was scary for you.
oh my god... this is quite something. the presentation - graphics, lack of music, sound design - is AMAZING! like!!!!! wow. the mood is so good. i was a bit confused about the gameplay at first, but when i understood it it was great too! a little tough to get out of small rooms, but otherwise, wow. this is great.
Thanks for playing my game. One hour before submition one playtester suggested that thing about small corridors, but I was too scared I make some game breaking bug one hour before the submitting period so I left it as it was.
But I am happy that you liked my game anyway.
