Dope as hell omg. Wish i got around to playing it during the jam so that I could've contributed to ranking TwT.
SPOILERS IN THE REST OF MY COMMENT!!!
Well! Either way, it's a super solid game. I'm genuinely really impressed with just how much this drew me in near instantly, an interest that only grew throughout the course of the game. On the surface, this is like, the furthest from the types of games/stories I normally enjoy(/not negative, just a personal preference usually), but MANNN did I enjoy myself with this. I think it partly had to do with how great the set up is; I think the moment I was hooked was with that first scene of Kyle getting bitten by the cow. Immediatelly made me think this would be a mad cow disease transferred to humans sort of deal. And then it gradually became more of a skin walker/mycelium hivemind type of deal which is even MORE interesting. The game really justifies it's run time and never looses me/makes me feel like I'm clicking through pointless fodder to get through to the meat of the story.
I love love LOVE all the characters and how unique you made them all feel. Especially camp 1, everyone there feels like their own person and that just makes em all really likeable. I particularly enjoyed Lorenzo and Aston for both just how cute of a couple they are but also the slow-burn heartwrenching tragedy that is happening, as well as Gregory in the moral dilemma his character resides within, I really feel for the guy :(((
The art is great, it's realistic enough to lend a hand to the horror aspect but also stylised enough to give is a charm that is great and SUPER pretty. My only critique vaguely would be the voice acting, and, well, not actually the acting itself per se-the acting is great! Not too exhaggerated, but also emotive enough to feel real and engaging(the sound processing/quality is also AMAZING, it genuienly feels like a movie huge props to you). My only issue would be that you've casted relatively similarly sounding people?? I wouldn't be able to pick out a character by voice, especially the male characters, they all sound too similar to me. But that might just be a me issue with remembering and recognising such a varied cast!
Either way, I really can't find any faults in this otherwise, well aside from leaving me on such a darned cliff hanger!!! Can't wait to see where this goes.
