Thanks for sharing the game link! I’ll start with the positives:
Positives:
- The monster is genuinely creepy, with unnatural, unsettling animations that make it even scarier. Its scream adds to the sense of terror.
- It’s great that the game has save points. Respecting the player’s time is always commendable.
Unfortunately, that’s it for the positives, so let’s move to the negatives:
Negatives:
- The intro should have less text. An excessive amount of text right at the beginning can be off-putting for players—I found it overwhelming. As a player, I hadn’t even interacted with the game yet and was immediately hit with what felt like a full page of reading. I understand you want to tell a story, but it’s more effective to present it in smaller chunks. Once the gameplay engages the player, you can introduce more of the story. I’ve made the same mistake in my own games, so I know what I’m talking about.
- It’s unfortunate that the settings menu doesn’t work, especially with the high mouse sensitivity, which I found a bit irritating.
- You can see through doors by tilting the camera downward slightly. It’s more of a bug than a real negative, but I wanted to point it out.
- The flickering lights have a very consistent sequence, which feels unnatural.
- I didn’t really like that some notes are placed in areas where the monster is hunting. When I’m tense and focused on escaping the monster, it feels odd to suddenly stop and read a note. This creates a bit of a dissonance since it feels silly to pause for reading while being chased. Placing notes in safe zones, away from the unkillable monster, would make more sense.
- The monster’s AI isn’t very intelligent, and it’s relatively easy to escape.
Conclusion: It’s disappointing that I found more negatives than positives, but I hope you’re not discouraged by this feedback. After all, feedback is meant to help us improve. I also noticed some plot elements reminiscent of Silent Hill 2. If that’s intentional, it’s praiseworthy—I’m a big fan of the Silent Hill series. Don’t take my feedback too harshly; it’s just my opinion, and the game is still well done overall. Thanks for the game!
