I choose not to see it as harsh, but just blunt and honest, which is what I need. I need the blunt feedback to know what I need to change and fix. I appreciate your thoughts, the tags were VERY redundant, I really just didn't know what tags to use at all.


I didn't go for story cause honestly Suitor was born from me being tired of the trend of Indie Horror Games having sloppy world building and pointless easter eggs just meant to ride the coattails of FNaF's YouTube theory craze. It doesn't have a super complex story and this specific build is basically a test run that is canonical, but not at all connected to the Story of the full game. But I do see what you mean, a story is very important regardless of intent. I should work on that.

Thank you for the feedback!


Also, the title Suitor is a play on the term for one who is Suitable for something, in this case a Suitable Host. It is a confusing title, but it's just stuck for as long as I've been working on the project.

Your "story" need not be long or complex. Look at the "story" of those Mario games: hero tries to save the princess from ... a turtle. And if I recall correctly, the story of Slender Man was: you are camping in the woods and at night creepy things happen.

While those are more like a setting and not a story, there was not that much lore coming up to flesh out the story. I never learned why a plumber felt chosen to rescue the princess. Only that they all like to race in karts and that Mario has a brother.

English is not my native language, but to my understanding and the context given, a suitor would be the person doing the activity. Suited would be the quality you want him to have for being a host. But no matter how I think about hit, if the player is the Suitor, it would imply that he is willing to do that and seeks out to solicit himself as a host. It would make a creepy (and fittingly) sense, if the monster is the suitor, advancing itself and literally courting the player and or making him suitable. But frankly, I did not get, if the player or the monster is supposed to be the suitor or if it has a different meaning.
