Alright Zed, you're back at it again with another game, which I gladly came across once more. SOOOOOOOOOOOO let's get to it. First off, I really enjoyed this one, mainly for its concept.
It's definitely new compared to your last few games that's for sure. In terms of gameplay, it's generally simple, but I did appreciate the constant distractions that came my way as the difficulty increased. I would suggest though, maybe a hard mode one day, mainly because of the fact that the game itself is pretty easy. That's usually my main "complaint" about it being too easy, but I will say this. I like the fact that you don't put music into your games, and there's just some background noise that makes me uneasy, so I appreciate that scare factor. If anything, I'm always uneased when it comes to horror games, so I was rather happy I didn't have to go inside the warehouse, but it would be an interesting concept to add, where you can switch between gracei, and faye and mike, just to remember your surroundings and where to go, without having Gracie just choosing where to go. Regardless, the concept was pretty cool, I got jumpscared by on the final run. I would've preferred if the 2 gods would've shown up around the 5th or 6th treasure just to increase that difficulty.
Now for storywise, I liked it. I love that call back to Morton from Vermander curse, and how he mentioned that his "friend" which I assume is Vermander used RedPostPages to find a job, and I liked how Morton screamed for Eda after the pc caught fire. I think it was interesting to play as a regular human this time, considering that there hasn't been a main human character since your first game, still it made me miss all the other wonderful ladies I played across your games for sure. There was definitely a lot more characters in this game compared to your others for sure, I would've loved to see more interactions amongst them. Faye is nice and all, but MIKE., your boi MIKE is hella chill, and he don't talk back or anything. MIKE is on the GRIND 24/7, so I really appreciate his character. i would love to see more of him in future games. Oh and Gracie is cool to...I guess. I'm kidding of course.
Overall, I really liked this game. It was simplistic in terms of gameplay, but I'm always sticking around for your stories. Honestly, I would like to see a follow up to the IXY company because I'm sure we'll get something there, considering that Gracie mentioned how the company used shady tactics to get some cheap computer chips. So yeah, another banger from Zed, I hope to see more of the ZTU (Zed Technician Universe) expand, in which we'll get callbacks to old characters. Good job, and keep it up with Amanda the Adventurer. I think you're helping to develop that game, so I can't wait to see that next year. Is it perhaps that these games are used as concepts to see which one works best for the Amanda games? I don't k now of course, but I hope to see if it does. Thanks for reading this Zed, I appreciate the work.
