How was the gameplay? Exciting? Fun? Boring?
The gameplay felt good, the flow of the gameplay certainly felt smooth and I didn't often find myself asking where I needed to go
What did you think of the map size?
The map felt appropriately sized in terms of distance to travel, but it did feel quite large with the amount of picture pieces required. I found myself checking some of the same areas because I wasn't exactly sure of where to look
How did you feel about visibility while playing?
Corridors and rooms provided an adequate amount of visibility, but I found it really hard to decipher much when looking to larger expanses in rooms. This led to some of that confused with direction feeling. I think a tiny little more visibility from the flashlight would help keep focus on the game instead of fighting against it too see rooms.
Tell us about your favorite part of the game.
I think the puzzles are a great addition and are well designed. I also very much enjoyed the ambience, it hit a perfect note
Tell us about your least favorite part of the game.
Getting to 5 fragments felt pretty good, but with only 5/9 fragments the shade felt quite oppressive. It made it hard to make progress and slowed things down greatly, which if you're not doing a recharge style game plan is a death sentence.
Thoughts on difficulty? How does it feel on the first run, vs after having more experience with additional runs?
Knowing more about the game provided some much needed information that definitely helped. As stated above though, the relative weakness of the flashlight did make it feel pretty difficult. Not in an unnecessary way, but it just felt like if I made one mistake mid run with light spacing that it was always over since the shade is much faster and doesn't get stunned for long
Feedback on any specific mechanics, rooms, etc?
Puzzles room are a great addition but feel like they pose a great risk without a very specific playstyle. If these rooms maybe had a light you could spend your batteries on to have some general safety, it would go a long way
What do you think about the Luumba?
I love him and think he works perfectly, keep that up!
