I absolutely love left-field and weird games with a good atmosphere! This adventure/survival game had some great ideas focusing on a machine setting mostly through the use of elevators. The levels are done well with the right balance of isolation and encounters with monsters. I really like the sound design, which fits the eerie atmosphere too. And sometimes less is more with setting and story – I do like how the player is left to make sense of all the weird contraptions and monsters! I think extending this idea further into a game with more context and structure could be great!
Some feedback I can offer is that it would have been interesting to have the player do more when exploring the areas – particularly repairing the machines or completing puzzles. The graphics assets do the job well but some assets are overscaled – such as at the end, where things get a little blurry.
The idea of adding a ‘new game plus’ mechanic with easter eggs and no collision was a great way to add replay value! I think it broke the immersion a little, but it was fun to find the developer pictures.
Thanks for submitting this game to SCREAM MACHINE!
