Hello!

Would you like to check out my game?

It's still a demo, so it would be a great help if you could share your thoughts!

It's a nonlinear escape-room game with point-and-click puzzles, visual novel elements, and some non-explicit horror themes. The demo has 5 different endings.

Thanks!

Here you will find my gameplay video for your demo, I will also write my review about your game below… I do need support for me to keep doing these kind of reviews, so do subscribe to my YouTube channel.

First of all, the game style is really nice, I loved the art that you have in the game. Especially the butterflies and the fact when you scroll the mouse over them in the menu, the entire screen change. Love it.
The soundtrack is chilling and it has some horror vibes from time to time, so well done on that.
However, there is one major issue I faced in this demo, sometimes when I click to continue reading the conversations of the characters, there is a small delay after I click and it does not change directly (This does not happen all the time but it was enough to corrupt the rest of the video... starting from minute 10:36 in the video) The rest is out of synchronization between my commentary and the gameplay. I also had another 20 min corrupted because of that, but this time I just deleted the file and only kept this first one so you see the problem up close. (I deleted the rest of the video since it was corrupted)
Other than that problem above I did not have any issues, except the fact that I could enter the cave the first time and went too deep until I found myself in another room, this did not happen again no matter how much I replayed the game and went into the cave… I always died after my very first time (thought to mention this to you here).
I truly love puzzles but these that you had are more complicated and it is hard to know how to solve them without any kind of hints (I think you might have that in the full game since this is a demo but in case you don’t have it in the full game, you might consider adding that).

Hello,

I will definitely subscribe! I've just created my YouTube account today.

Thank you for doing this! Also, great video!

I'll try to address all the major points:

I'm glad that you like the art/music! Out of curiosity, did you find them too girly?
I also noticed the corruption in your video. It's a strange issue. I've reviewed the game code but can't find any problem yet. My guess is that it has to do with the game being live streamed... maybe some hardware-related issue? For debugging purposes, would you mind telling me what OS you are using and approximately how much memory your drive had? Also, what did you use for recording?
The cave part actually leads to the harder-to-get endings. There is a trick to successfully get through it every time. Otherwise, the probability to successfully get through the cave is extremely small (under 5%). Just to be sure that this isn't a bug, did you 'use' anything to get through the cave?
As for the puzzles, I've been collecting various player feedback and might add more hints for some specific parts in later versions. I'll definitely take your review into consideration! I've also been writing hint posts under my devlogs, so feel free to check those out if you ever decide to continue that game!

Wish you success with your channel!

Hi there,

I do take time to replay to most devs here, my appology to you.

- And yes, I really like the art and the music too, and to answer your question, yep lol it is little bit girly there (for the art and the use of pink, but dont worry, my entire house is being painted with pink)

- For the issue I had, this might be only because of recording it, espacially if you had no other players complain from this issue while recording it... I am using Wondershare Filmora and my OS is good (have the latest Win 10 updated and 64x bit system). This should be my recording software.

- The first try to get into the cave I got to the other side, by going in deeper and sometimes stopping and wait, I dont remember exactly how I used the sequence there to get through it in my first try (after that I just kept dying lol).

I am really glad for your replay here and if you had more updates for the game and you want me to cover it up for you, feel free to ask me here at any time.

Good luck for making more games in the future.
