incredible atmosphere

late homework has like the perfect amount of modernization on a thoroughly recreated classic horror gameplay loop. love love the more unique encounters and the portal doors are a really clever way of optimizing space and gaining utility. the back up camera is so appreciated too I loved being able to pick which scenarios I wanted the fixed cameras in. the whole thing took me 2 tries and on the last one I very narrowly escaped. the shock I felt when I got all the pages felt exactly like it did back in silent hill, just having a poorly mapped out area in my mind and booking it for whatever door was open with that pounding track playing. and speaking of doors the cute lil animations for going through them never got old. normally I would try to provide some constructive criticism if it's desired, but I genuinely can't think of anything I'd change.

when I launch it I hear music but just get a black screen! am I doing something wrong

didn't expect the fem protagonist tbh! also did I hear one of her grunt lines is "Yes" when she gets hit?? kinda funny if true, adds a bit to go off of character wise 

sadly not, it could be a resolution thing? the game wouldn't launch on my large screen so I was playing it on a 1360 x768 one.

Also to add a few notes..

things I really love:
-condemned/saw/manhunt aesthetic is captured super well here
-warehouse environment is super well realized
-hand models are sweet
-menu sounds r neat
-tarp physics r neater
-throwing bottles is fun(should add throwing to melee weapons?)
-guns feel great

as for bugs and nitpicks:

-FP held objects and sometimes enemie bodies clip through walls and floor

-mouse went out of window during a fight somehow causing me to die (on reflection this might have been me pressing the windows key)

-the gun enemies kill very fast which combined with the death camera bug make it hard to finish, I didn't reach the end yet but will try again later! 

-the instances where the bunny guy says "fucking" and "didn't really doubt you" seem out of place to me for some reason. seems less cold and calculating instead of just saying "didn't doubt you"

but ye, anyways, sweet game so far! definitely chomping at the bit to play more

Really awesome stuff! but every time I die it gets stuck on the dead camera and won't let me progress, requiring restart. this is my major gripe, everything else about the demo feels seamless and fun despite a few detail nitpicks

This demo ate my son. 11/10

buy this game right now

pretty cool! wish i couldve figured out how to fullscreen. I like the vibes

the stroke of the pen seems to taper off immediately for me, as if the ink is incredibly dry, making it very hard to input things quickly. love the concept and aesthetic though

I hope ur still working on this! sending my love
