Hello! Welcome to Feedback Quest 7! My name's Hythrain and I'm one of the hosts and one of the streamers for this event! This feedback is being written live as I stream your game! If you're interested in seeing my live reaction, let me know and I can send you a link to the VOD once it's posted to YouTube!

So my normal approach for any game in these events is simple: I get the game, make sure it's not a virus, then play it with as little information on how to play as possible. This way, I can judge how intuitively someone can figure out the game. Only if it's obvious that I need to read more will I do so. I note this so you can get a sense where some of these feedback comes from. In addition, I want to note that feedback and rating are different; don't use this feedback to gauge what I'll rate, nor should you view my rating as entirely indicative of my feedback.

So I'm just going to express how I felt in the order I felt it. So let's begin...

WHAT?! WHAT'S GOING ON?! WHY IS THAT PERSON STABBED?! WHY ARE THEY LAUGHING?! I KILLED THEM?! WHY IS EVERYTHING SO BLOODY BRIGHT?! WHAT IS THIS KNIFE? IS MY HEALTH DEPLETING?! I CAN'T FIGURE ANYTHING OUT! I'M JUST GONNA- wait, is there another room in this trailer! Holy crap, there's another room in this trailer and... WHY ARE MY BOOBS SO BIG?! ... ok, focus. Let's look for... A LOCK BOX! How do I get the code, though? Wait, I can use the knife? WHAT IS GOING ON?! IS THAT ME ON A TABLE?! WTF IS HAPPENING?! Oh hey, I found the code! Now to- HAMMER TIME! Let's get outta here! OMG I'm outside and OH GOD IT'S TOO BRIGHT HERE TOO! Ok, whatever, let's explore. Okay, got a key, got into another trailer, what am I doing? There's lots of stuff to pick up, but where am I... wait, can I get through this window? WTF?! THERE'S A ROOM HERE?! OKAY, LET'S HIT THESE and I died. Ok, let's try again! Just hit this switch and then this switch and oh shit that was wrong. No worries, we can just- THE PURPLE IS COMING AHHH HURRYHURRYHURRYANDNOWESCAPE JSAHFJKSAHGFJAHGLKDHSGS!!!!

Ok, escaped. Onto the next area! Two trailers to explore here, this one has nothing in it. Ok, how about- oh, a body. Oh god, more purple! Wait, why can I pick up these boxes?! Can I do anything? Nope, seems not. Okay, let's keep looking around. I found some notes, but nothing gives me a clue to the next puzzle. Crap. Let's double check. Why do these trailers both have the same note? Ok, let's triple check.... how am I supposed to proceed? Chat, do you know? Oh, two other streamers played? Let's check them out and I'm ahead of them. Fuck. HOW DO I GET THIS NEXT CODE?! AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Anyway, that was my experience before I stopped. Honestly, I'm just going to let THAT stand as my feedback. You can take from that whatever you want from it.

Ok, no, I won't do that. First, the visuals: that glow is just awful on the eyes. Can you tone it down? Second, as creepy and perfect as that sound you use for the rot is, PLEASE GIVE ME OTHER BACKGROUND SOUNDS AND DON'T MAKE IT SO LOUD! XD Lastly, changing between the knife, hammer and nothing should be faster. The delay when you pull out the knife before you can put it away is awful.

Well...hehe, that's not quite the experience I had in mind for this game :-D. (Other than "THE PURPLE IS COMING HURRY HURRY NEED TO ESCAPE" of course. That is pretty accurate to what I wanted hehe :-D.)

But yes, I definitely have to make some adjustments, especially including to make objectives clearer and  to add brightness settings.

Thanks so much for checking it out and for your recommendations.

I haven't had much time to work on the adjustments yet, but hopefully I will be able to get started on them soon.

Thanks again.
