You definitely set a mood from the beginning. I was audibly like “oooh” when the menu popped up, haha. Soo tense! The lack of music during the game really added to the intensity. Very creepy atmosphere. Reminded me of the feeling I had playing RE7. I think it could have benefitted from a bit more ambient sound though to ratchet up that dread even more. Also, while I did enjoy the end twist, it did feel kind of short. It would be really fun to see what would happen next after that set up. Another thing, I ended up sneaking the whole time, but then got really close to the antagonist at one point, and had my flashlight on him, so I’m not sure if there was a fail state where you could get caught or not? If not, that would be a really cool addition!
A few bugs I ran into:
- It seemed the flashlight clipped on some of the edges of the doorframes, which cut the light out abruptly. It actually added to some of the creepiness, but if that wasn’t intended it might be worth looking into.
