First of all great game, already invested in the case.
So I played on a Win 10 Pro and get what may be some small bugs:
- In the first scene in the bus with Morgan there was some ambience and foley that stop in the next scene with Mike and Violet. Don't know if since it's an Alpha it was supposed to be like this or if there was sound and, for some reason, it stops playing. The sound of the glass shattering i was able to hear thought (very well, scared the s*** out of me - very nice :D)
- In the mailbox puzzle after I opened the letter one more time to look for clues I was unable to click on the mailbox again. I needed to save the game and reload and then i was able to click on the mailbox, now knowing the code (but very nice starting puzzle).
Those were the possible bugs i encountered but again great game. One last thing to consider it would be to put the Characters Pronouns on their descriptions.
Anyway, best of luck on the project it sure looks amazing already
Hi! Thank you so much for this in-depth review :)
1. You are right, there isn’t much sound design after the bus scene. This isn‘t a bug, I just haven‘t found any fitting music yet. I‘d like to have a custom soundtrack for the finished game, but since music‘s the only thing I can‘t do myself it‘s a little bit trickier. Right now I don‘t have the means to pay a composer, but hopefully I will eventually! Maybe I‘ll look for placeholder music in meantime. (Also sorry for scaring the s*** out of you, haha)
2. Thanks for bringing that to my attention, I‘ll definitely look into it! It seems like the mailbox was buggy for a few people.
3. The character pronouns are a good idea! I‘ll tweak the profiles in the next bigger update.
Thank you again and I‘m happy you enjoyed this first alpha :)
