I played your game on stream, here is the VOD: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1839314176

I was challenged by the controls. I really wanted to see more of the game but I couldn’t figure out the basics. I understand and appreciate wanting to make the game harder, but I don’t recommend making the controls difficult to learn. Instead give the player an understanding of the controls early and then ramp up the difficulty.

I really love the atmosphere. The snow falling outside the window and the opening cutscene was really well done.

Thank you for your review.

We understand that the controls may seem cumbersome, but they were designed this way to create a more challenging and immersive experience. Our aim is to turn 'Into the Hive' into a blend of immersive-sim survival horror, something akin to System Shock or Bioshock, but with a more linear progression.

The current issue with the game is that the entire tutorial is conveyed through notes at the beginning, and unfortunately, you seem to have missed the most critical one right at the start. To address this difficulty, we are planning to introduce a full-scale tutorial level set in the protagonist's apartment. This will provide a thorough explanation and suggested use cases for each mechanic.

Awesome. I think that will be super helpful.
