Hey! I just played SIO and I have some thoughts on it ^^
This note is completely subjective (minus anything about lagging or crashing, you should really fix that) and you don't have to listen to it, It's just my opinion :)
PROS
---------
- I REALLY like the game's sound design, very eerie. I had to remove one side of my headphones to keep playing.
- I do think that the mute option is considerate for the people who easily get disoriented, but want to enjoy a good atmospheric game. (Though I suggest using a bar to lower or mute the voice, since sound design is a crucial part of the game, and it loses a lot of its value when muted.)
- I love the aesthetics of the game! The neon purple and black palette was an great choice! :D
- The dialogue/text is intriguing; I like the fact that it keeps me wanting for more lore out of it. Like where are we? and who are the strangers?
---------------------------------------------
CONS
------------
- The main menu music ended after a while when it should loop.
- The game's frame drops from 30 to 15-10 frames around every 3 to 5 seconds.
- It crashed twice after the (wake up) screen. once I find a couple of anomalies after that screen, it just crashes.
- You can't finish the game because of it constantly crashing.
- the game-play gets a little boring, mainly because I replayed it too many times since it keeps crashing.
- due to the harsh contrast between the neon purple and black, it becomes straining for the eyes to look at after a while. Maybe more shades of purple would ease the look for the eyes without straying from the purple and black aesthetic?
Overall, I liked the bit I managed to play for what it is ^^ I think a bit of fixes here and there and it will be a solid surreal/atmospheric horror game.
Good luck! And thank you for reading :D
