Thank you very much for playing my game and giving me your input! I'll look into how my flashlight works a bit because you're not the first person to comment about it and honestly I wasn't all that happy with it's current implementation either. I don't know if I want to go so far as making it infinite though either but I'm going to keep a note to myself to consider it because I agree with you about dark not necessarily meaning scary. My intent with it was to simulate a sense of anxiety without necessarily having to throw a monster at the player. It's a tough balance to strike between anxiety and just plain old frustration though.
I also appreciate your input on the subject matter of my game. I'm attempting to be personal about how I tell the story instead of just telling it for the sake of telling it so hopefully you don't need to worry too much about where I take it. That said, as an artist and writer I am well aware that I can sometimes get carried away and even go a little overboard so getting critique on my story elements like you did is likely to be extremely vital in helping me keep things as tasteful as possible for the subject material.
Thank you again so much for playing though and I'm very happy that despite your criticisms you were still able to get into and enjoy what I have here so far!
no problem :) and trust me i did enjoy it ... otherwise you would hear me shout all the time :D it happens and sometimes i upload the vids and private them but im sure you can find some vids of me hating some games :D ... im excited to see the full game and ill follow you just in case you tricked me and uploaded it behind my back :D
Nope, the only thing I've uploaded since you played was a patched version of the game that also included a couple redesigns of things. I'm really happy with how positively people have been receiving this project though. Pretty much from the day I started making it I was preparing myself for either no one to play it at all or for anyone who did play it to absolutely hate it and eviscerate me in their reviews and comments. lol
I failed to prepare myself for the opposite of those things though. XD
