Battle?

[GatorDeb]

Is this 100% clicking story-driven or is there any combat? Thanks!

[chloe]

I'd like to know this also. And how does the game save? Checkpoint, auto save, manual?

No combat, some running away sequences, some light puzzle where you have to move around a block or find an item and such but mostly just a story experience

What happens if whatever is chasing you catches up to you? Or it's just cinematic?

I'd assume you die and will have to restart from the recent save. The game doesn't offer manual saving so, who knows where that will be.

That sucks, won't be able to play this game, anything following me catches me. I'll wait to see if Wemod or Cheat Happens come up with invisible cheats and if so I'll buy it if not I'll just Youtube the whole game because I definitely want this story. I'd rather do it first hand, but this story is calling out to me.

There's only 1 chase sequence, and checkpoints is very frequent, like there's one right before the chase starts, and another checkpoint in the middle of the chase (after you reach a temporary safe room with the door).

You only really get chased, like... once? It's not an Outlast game. Most of it is just exploring and solving puzzles.

Checkpoints and autosave.

I encountered two chase sequences, but the first one isn't that exciting (though I did die once because I was trying to get a handle on the controls; the on-screen prompts didn't match my chosen keyboard layout so I pressed the wrong key at first...)

[chloe]

How many chase scenes are there? One poster says only one but another person says two. Waiting for someone else to come along and tell me there are more. I think I will go with my gut on this game and not buy. It's sounding more and more like a game I that I would not care for.

It's like Bayonetta but less slutty.

Depending on how you feel about actual game-game elements, this might be a YouTube thing for you. Off the top of my head here's all the game-game bits I can think of (which I'll put behind a Spoiler tag for others):

- A retro style bike-race minigame that isn't terribly difficult
- A short chase sequence with frequent checkpoints; walkthroughs will give you the precise path for this so it's a non-issue
- A retro style platformer, one of two that can be a little frustrating if you're no good at platformers.
- A bit where you have to navigate through gaps in spinning objects. Honestly the most difficult part of the game for people more used to walking simulators
- A second retro style platformer, this one's a little easier than the first because it uses audio cues to guide you, but it's still kind of tricky.
- A Pac-Man-esque maze muncher game, you have infinite lives and "losing" just dumps a few coins Sonic style, but it can still be frustrating.

Based on your feedback, I'd say there's no shame in settling for a YouTube LP, but if you want to support the dev, I'd recommend buying a code for the game, so you can give it to your favorite gamer, streamer, or tuber.

Hope this helps!

That's a very comprehensive list. Many of the puzzles are not the sort I enjoy. But thank you for posting it. As for buying it to support the developers....why should I give them money only for them to create more games I would probably not play. I would rather give my money to developers whose games I know I would buy.

No I didn't. GatorDeb said that. Go back and read the previous posts.
