I love this game, it’s super fun. I beat it a couple of times already and my quickest run is about 50 minutes.
I have some suggestions that could help make the game even better. The interact button on ‘F’ is a little difficult to hit while walking, so it would be great if the player could change the keybinds in the options.
The enemies in this game are super cool, but they also become predictable very quickly.
The deer as well as the crawler don’t change patterns at all throughout the game.I died to the deer on the second night once or twice, but once I knew to get the first lantern upgrade before the second night, I had just enough vision to easily avoid it. Just give it a minimum of 2 squares space and you’re basically safe. Every lantern upgrade just made it easier to walk around it at night and in the day the deer wasn’t a problem at all. The one time it camped at my door when I was on my last candle I just angered it and it went away on its own. It would be cool If the deer possibly gained more speed at night or after a certain amount of time in the game. Something to make it scary even in the late game.
The crawler is very cool. It gives you a little warning and then herds you inside, where you can’t stay for a long time. The two times where it got me were my very first game and then later when I was inside the house for too long before it appeared and I wasted my candles.
The little scare in the well was super fun and I kinda thought that there would be more to it. Like a creature that pops up if you hang around the well for too long at night.
I love the two clowns. They make me scramble over the map in an effort to find them and break me out of my planting/water cycle. I love that you can hear the little wind up sound of the music box and know that they’re there.
The style of the game is absolutely beautiful and I will continue to follow this project.
