Absolutely fantastic atmosphere! The hints of backstory here are so interesting. I’d love to know what exactly happened to the world. The drawings in the wall are so intriguing!
Loved the dream sequences, too.
Hi! First of all, I want to say thank you for making this game. The concept is fantastic and the Y2K vibes are excellent. Here’s some feedback from playing the demo for a short while:
The asthetic is perfectly executed. Navigating the desktop and the various web pages is so cool. It feels like there is such a deep world to explore just in this part of the game!
In the actual rogue-like part of the game, I think the idea of using yuor phone as your inventory is very unique. However, my mousewheel didn’t work very well for selecting an option, and using the keyboard numbers feels kinda cumbersome.
I find the map layout very disorienting. Every street and parking lot looks the same and I felt that I lost my way very easily. The extremely short view distance didn’t help.
The quests are very nicely integrated! I like the idea of switching between game runs and desktop browsing to solve missions. However, if the map generation was better, I’m sure things like finding the three posters would be much more fun. Right now it feels very random.
I see this demo as a strong foundation for a cool game! It just needs a fair amount of polishing and iteration on the map layout and enemy variety. I’ll definitely keep an eye on it as it progresses!
This was lovely! I love the idea of a submarine metroidvania. It feels so polished! I expected something to go wrong at the end, but everything was just so nice. I love these little guys :)
This had me on the edge of my seat! Very nice use of the lo-fi graphics to create a tense atmosphere. At first I felt the mouse sensitivity was too low, even in the highest setting, but I grew accustomed to it and I think it added to the experience, in fact haha
I love how you made the horror meter into a very visual thing, with the image getting more and more distorted as the character gets scared. At the end, when there is no light and all bets are off, it works very well!
I love everything about this. There’s a mismatch of elements here that makes it all the more cryptic: The surreal intro about dreams. The fleshy face (mask?). The same place, seen through three perspectives at once! And what’s up with the floating demon head?? I also really like how you’ve incorporated the DS with the stylus. Very good work! ^^
I loved the sense of urgency in boarding up the windows as the storm starts breaking the house apart. It doesn’t make sense to do it, but this man is obviously out of his mind. The final reveal is a nice touch too, but even without it the sense of dread in this game is fantastic!
Very cool little game! The concept of spending a seemingly infinite amount of time performing the smae chore over and over scares me to no end. Very well done!
