おもしろかったです！ if you like redident evil like game, you will like it! there is good puzzle too:)
This game is AMAZING! Great story, atmosphere, and you catch the essence of the 90s classics survival horror. Cant wait to play more of this game and the full verison!
Just 2 things i found on my gameplay.1- When you enter to the Staff Office (with "Fixed camera") the camera dont move and i have to change to "Over the shoulder" to keep playing (You can see it at min 59:06)
2- At 58:40 the monster attack me before i can move because there is an animation of camera when you enter to a new zone. Maybe in the video you can see it better!!
Thank you very much! We have now fixed that camera bug! And the monster hitting before you move, we will look into fixing that too.
This is the best I've seen on ITCH.IO . Are you developing alone?
Hey there, we are actually 2 brothers working on it. We will be updating to a newer demo here shortly! Stay tuned :)
В целом игра неплохая перевод немного кривоват
Hello, the new demo release in a few weeks will have human translation. The current one you played is using Google translate. Thanks!
just tested it on steam deck runs great.... cant wait for the full game uploading the video tomorrow night :)
Nice work! We never saw it on that before! Glad it actually worked!
Yeah haha I was very happy looks great plays quite well..
Hello there, Is it possible you can show us how the mob grabbed from 10 ft away? Also, in the new update there is a roll feature.
Thank you so much!
I don't record my gameplay. I'll check out the update.
Combat is still the issue. When fighting the main villain, I didn't get an option to dodge. Bullets did nothing to him, and you die in 1 hit. I'm an fps player but I can't hit those concussion grenades or whatever they are. The aiming feels slow and not dialed in. It feels like Resident Evil when you don't take time and aim. [ Let the reticle shrink. ] I don't expect COD mechanics. I do think combat could be a lot better.
Oh sorry about that, we have not uploaded a new build of the game as of yet. Also, the grenades can't be shot down. - Perhaps we need to make it so you can!
For the aiming, maybe you can try increasing the sensitivity in the options?
Thanks!
Also, thanks for the feedback about the bullets not doing anything to him. They actually do hurt him, but it seems we need to make a visual effect much stronger, since this is the second time I've heard this. Thank you so much.
We have a new update with the ability to roll for the player. You can download it now and try it out. We recommend a new game start because the game now has a lot of updates compared to the old build.
adorei o jogo, espero que lance logo
Thank you very much. We will try our best to release fast!
Thank you very much.
This version itself will remain free once the game is finished being developed, as I think this version itself will become the full game as you release updates...
This version will be a demo for free. Full release will be the same thing but longer., with more areas, complete story, and more enemies and bosses and puzzles.
hi could you tell me which version is most up to date, or the latest version
Hello, the posted download should be the latest release. Itch and Steam have the same versions.
Thank you
Hello from France :)
In the beginning I just wanted to see if there was some good stuff to play on Itch and I saw this game in the list !
I installed it and finished the demo an hour ago, and man... That's something very very cool and I'll definitely buy it when it's complete version is out !
As I loved the Resident Evil series (especially the 4th ;P Ashley SHUT UP for f**k sake haha) and Silent Hill 2 & 3, I must say I've been served a great meal here, that was one hell of a good surprise !
The gameplay feels good and smooth to me, the enemies encountered so far are cool (I don't want to spoil but this f***ing bald guy in the big house, God he is SO scary x'D)
The puzzles are well constructed, I'd say pretty intuitive but they make you think a bit sometimes too which makes a good balance to my eyes actually !
In the very beginning I definitely had this "The Evil Within" vibe as we play some kind of detective who gets into a machine to enter a tortured mind, that's a pleasant reference to me if it is a reference to it ;) why not implement some aspects of this game too ! For example enable/disable flashlight and some stealth passages not to be seen by some fellas to sh*t in your pants even more ;P
That's pretty much what came to my mind after this, I hope my feedback will help !
YES, I had a good time playing this little piece and now I can't wait to see more. Great job !
Hi Jboos,
Thank you for the very nice comment. That is great to hear and it's very encouraging. We will try to deliver the BEST game that we can.
I saw you joined on Discord. We shall see you there!
Thanks again!
Dave
Really impressive demo, especially for such a small team. Too scary though xD
Hey Thanks! It seems we did the job with the genre in that case
The game has a nice flow to it and i really like 3rd person and how smooth the game feels. It has tricky puzzle's and some decent jump scares.
Thanks!
Absolutely amazing game 10/10 I enjoyed playing game well done mate KEEP IT UP!
Thank you very much.
I'm glad this had a fixed camera position. It made it felt like I was playing a classic. With this style gameplay, lighting, horror, and puzzles it was a great take on this genre.
Thank you very much. Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm too scared to play the whole thing! 0_0
:) I guess we did our job! Glad it had the atmosphere for horror!
This was fun! It was a nostalgic experience reminding me of games on PS1 I used to love but with better graphics lol. 5 stars, baby.
Awesome! :D
I Really Loved The Game Man Great Story Smooth Gameplay Great Graphics And Atomosphere. And Mixture of my fav horror games.
1 Question WHere is the steam valve and knife
Hey Thanks!
The steam valve is found much later in the game. The machete that the enemy is holding can cut the rope. (You have to shoot the guy til he drops the machete).
If you have any other questions, let me know.
Thank you again!
Dave
It looks like you never broke the power panel. You have to break that to short circuit the power and progress.
