Thanks for sending the game link! I’ll start with the positives, as always:
- The graphics are nice; it seemed like they were sourced from third-party assets, but I don’t see that as a negative. The assets are chosen wisely and work well together.
- The music is tense. I wouldn’t call it outstanding, but it fits the mood well.
- The main character’s voice acting is funny. I laughed at her reaction when the lights went out.
- It’s cool that you went beyond the typical “running from a monster down hallways” mechanic and added some helpful perks. The blood trail idea is great, though I’m less sure about the sprint and jump options, especially since they appear as bonuses near the end. But I’m glad you included these—it made the gameplay more interesting.
Now for the negatives:
- A couple of times, I got stuck in textures. Once, I was running up the stairs and got stuck in the middle of the doorway, as if there were a collider box there. I came back to it later and had no problem getting through, but it felt unfair at that moment.
- I didn’t quite understand what the circles on the floor were for or if they’re needed to complete the game.
- The controls felt odd, and I don’t think they were intended to be that way. However, it’s still playable.
- At one point, I reached a fireplace with a bright light coming from it. I stopped, thinking the monster couldn’t get there and that I could take a break from the chase. But the monster ignored the fireplace’s light and killed me anyway. This is debatable, but I’d have liked it if the light affected the monster.
- Some rooms were so dark that I had to keep dying and using trial and error to find the path. It could be my monitor’s brightness, but adding a brightness setting might help.
Overall: Great game inspired by a meme. I think memes are one of the best sources of inspiration for humorous games, and yours has that touch of humor. I liked that I got better with each attempt, and the blood mechanic strangely reminded me of Dark Souls, haha. I finally made it to the bed but died 19 times along the way. It was nice seeing stats at the end that showed this. Thanks for the game!
