Ceri here!


At the start of the Spooktober Jam, I discovered the first sketches of the main cast of characters for your project while browsing through the hashtag for the jam. The concept of battling inner demons while solving a murder mystery was what drew me to your game as I'm a big fan of Occult Crime Police (which has a more comedic bent to it and is more spooky than out-right horror) and anything that has a strong focus on its narrative.


So I downloaded and read through the alpha demo today. Here's my thoughts


First Impressions


-  I like how the slow reveal of what occured 4 months prior to the game's start plays out during Nick's first night in the cabin and if he chooses to look at the dead deer after he meets Grayson.

- Felix has quite the ominous air to him despite his courteous and dapper appearance. Definitely keeping my eye on this guy.

- Grayson is quite an oddball but has a fun personality and I see a lot of myself in her. Now I'm curious about her backstory


Questions


1. Will you be adding more options to the main menu (such as settings , extras and quit) in the full release plus a CG gallery and ending reference guude in the extras?

2. I think the title screen and other menu pages would look better iwith a dark grey or black color scheme with white or bright red lettering for the options to fit with the drama oriented mood of the game.

3. How many good and bad endings (no spoilers)?

4. Will the full release be 100% free?


I will return with a review of the full release when it comes out! Here's to you guys for drawing me into such an interesting story!

Howdy Ceri,

Thanks so much for your comment... it means a lot to us as first-time devs!

It's awesome to hear that you've been excited for this project from the get-go. We really appreciate your initial thoughts.

Some answers:

1. We will definitely be adding more options to the menu. There will be a quit button at the very least (hilarious oversight only realized after assembling the demo), and our programmer is hoping to set up a CG gallery along with a configuration menu. We will be releasing a guide to completing all the endings alongside the full release, though it may be as a separate download.

2. We've actually been considering making some changes to the title screen and menu to make them more dark and ominous. The fact that you bring this up strengthens the case! We appreciate the suggestion, and will definitely take it to heart.

3. There are six bad ends and one true end.

4. The full release will be free with an option to donate.

Thanks again for providing us your first impressions! It's wonderful to get feedback, and extremely helpful in bringing the full release to fruition -- and any future releases we might have. When the time comes, we look forward to hearing what you think of the full release! Cheers!
