First off - thank you for lowering the price, I actually bought and tried the game. About 30 minutes in and my only complaint really is how slow it is. Not the gameplay - but the rate my character moves. Goodness. I see in the comments on this page that you have it so the game has replay value - which is cool but there's gotta be something done about the movement speed. I'm ok with exploration and puzzles and exploring but it is agonizing to slowly crawl around just to reach the wrong spot and slow motion walk to the next thing. I am aware of the faster movement speed but that is unfortunately slow as molasses too - I spent the entire time holding spacebar to move faster and its still too slow. Other than that, the game is graphically quite nice, has a simple enough gameplay loop and story, I just haven't yet played enough to give my full opinion. I really only want faster movement.
I now see your reasoning for slower movement speed in another comment. I will say the slow saunter of MC in the game does absolutely give it a more cinematic look - and from an artistic point of view I think you succeed there, but it's harder to stay engaged as a player who is looking to just play the game. It may be difficult to shoot for both, but perhaps you could work on multiple movement speeds as options. The space key is not nearly enough of a difference - and if possible try to make it a toggle speed thing so I don't have to hold the key down all the way. But as I said before, the game is visually quite nice, and the gameplay is simple and straightforward, it doesn't do more than it needs. I am very curious about the MC growth differences I've read about on here... I look forward to playing more
