I Wanted To Love This...

I wanted to love this game, and I think I will if fixed. However, the biggest issue for me was the camera view (lines, and constant changes in vision) was too much. I had to stop playing because there was too much going on regarding the camera.  Also, trying to open drawers and doors is weird. I think you have to click and hold E on the knobs, handles to open them? Some of the drawers would not open, and so, I was not able to search everything.  Also, I felt the cut scene with the scary jack n the box was too dark. I could not figure out what was happening. I could only hear weird sounds. You may have wanted that but it was difficult to see what was happening to know what I was dealing with.  Also, was the monster supposed to be trapped in the room across from where the jack-n-the-box exploded? Because my monster just kept banging on the door to get out. I never did find a key (I saw the hint in the menu also). I think you are definitely on to something really good, but it will need some tweaks IMO.

Yea flashing lights and VHS-like overlays are fun, but to a limit.
same for me with the jack-n-the-box scare it confused me more than scared me tbh. Its a shame. And yes the monster kept banging the door nonstop like crazy.

Also a bit slow walking :)

1. Drawers/anything interactable. 

You must look at the handle to open, you can't just just press E on the drawer. It works, you also need to crouch if you cant seem to reach.

2. This is a linear story Game, so the part where he comes in and it gets dark, you are not supposed to see. Its purpose was supposed to creep you out with all the bangs and destruction(this may have failed without the actual monster model or just plain failed).

3. The key appears in the cabinet or Dresser drawers. I haven't had a problem finding it.

4. The Vhs look and noise will be decreased.

5. Door banging, I will remove it after it plays for a few seconds.

6.Walking speed will be slightly increased.

7. The critism is amazing. There were multiple functions and gameplay removed to give a quick idea about the chapter. I will update this soon with the intended features and your feedback!! I'm going to fix the loss of direction also.

 

Thanks for giving this attention. I will definitely come back to this once you've had time to tweak it. Thank you.
