Should at dead of night have a non jimmy mode

Yes, there should be more game modes, and new content to reflect those new changes made to the game.

I would enjoy having random loot locations along with a more unscripted environment. Sure having the story is great, and very welcome but replay value is key here. To allow for the game to continue on for years randomization, and other game modes have to be put into the game to keep it alive.

As I understand it at the moment, it's a one time play through. Once you play it once you no longer have to play the game.

Now this is just my personal opinion, and I not putting the developer down in any way, I only wish to see the game progress further, and get to a point that you can play this game more than once perhaps several times with different results.

Now I happen to have come across a game which allows for ghost hunting which is simply an incredible game, and experience, and perhaps the developer could take a wee look at that game, and see what he/she can learn from it, and maybe incorporate some of it's ideas into the game.

The atmosphere in At Dead of Night is simply fantastic, and lose this entirely for a story line, and leave it at that in my opinion would be a very sad thing to see happen too this masterpiece.

Any way, this is just my opinion, and mine alone.

that's not how it works please make a constructive argument so we can understand you better why you wanna turn the game into a tech demo. ALSO I don't know if you have already BUT if you'd have gone through other threads, you would've seen that people already asked & talked about a non Jimmy AI mode and devs replied to this idea as "they might consider it, with only Jimmy starts hunting you at the end of the story-ish" basically before endgame.

@MycroftCanadaNS you don't think extreme mode doesn't give the player enough challenge? IMO doing an another run with more aggro Jimmy AI around is good enough for me.

I haven't played the extreme mode yet BUT it's the same game you played on normal. You follow the same story line, you approach the game the same way which is what I am speaking about.

It's like sitting down to watch the same movie you have watched earlier, and expect different results because you are now watching it in 3D.

There is a reason why random events, and other suitable game modes can give this game more replay value instead of just making it harder.

Difficulty level is really doesn't change the story line, it just means you getting your head kicked in more often.

After repeated requests, the creators has stated he will be adding a story mode where Jimmy shows up near the end only.

[Triple G]

The problem is he seems to just pop up whenever he feels like. Even if you listen to him walk away he just as often as not will be right behind you, removing any strategy. It doesn't help that trying to control where you turn while in a hurry is not very accurate.

People who learn his A.I. and how to manipulate it will have an easy time, but that kind of defeats the spirit of the game doesn't it?

Yes, dumb. No Jimmy? Just play The Suicide Of Rachel Foster instead, then. It's basically what the OP wants.. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1057750/The_Suicide_of_Rachel_Foster/
Point is, without Jimmy the game wouldn't be scary.

I do not understand negative comments about other people wanting things that will make the game more enjoyable for them. Does it somehow lessen your enjoyment of the game if other modes exist, outside your preferred method of play?

[CaggyBandicoot]

I'd like a non-Jimmy mode for the purposes of looking around the hotel, personally. The visuals are gorgeous.

[WorldWarIV]

Yeah I'd take a mode where Jimmy can't wack me so I could finish the story. He can keep creeping around, but I'm just not skilled enough to finish the game otherwise.

[Hecatomb]

Perhaps if there multiple difficulty levels where Jimmy's AI didn't pursue the player so aggressively. Personally, I would prefer if the game didn't save when Jimmy clobbers you, so I could at least have the choice of going back to my previous save.
