Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow

Cynthia: Hidden in the Moonshadow

My thoughts
The voice actress makes me want to turn down the voice volume. She sounds so monotone and lifeless. She's just reading lines off a script, there's no emotion, no acting, no direction. Her voice itself is fine, but she either doesn't know how to act or no one is giving her proper direction. And if she talks as much as she does in the demo, that would surely drive me mad. I don't want to turn down the voice volume and read subtitles the entire game..

The enemies take too many arrows to take down. Headshots should be an instant kill. Three arrows to kill a single enemy, even if every arrow is in the face, is a bit of a slog. I sense stealth is a big factor in the game, but having normal men with no armor take 3 arrows to kill is absurd.

She can't swim. Seriously? An outdoorsy woman at her age (late teens? early 20s?) who can climb ladders, jump long distances, expert bowman, can take on men twice her size, and probably lots more in the full game; and yet she can't swim- even in a tiny little pond? It was an interesting little intro puzzle but if swimming was too large of a task to implement in the game then I personally would avoid water in my level design.

There needs to be a separation between camera sensitivity and aim sensitivity. I felt aim sensitivity was too high at 10, but perfect at 4. But that in turn made camera sensitivity (when not aiming) incredibly slow.

Love the art style (main character has a unique and interesting design), the controls are fluid, the performance is great. The sound is good (apart from the VA). And i want to play more. I wish you guys all the luck in the world, but some of these issues are pretty dire (primarily the VA and swimming).

Hi, first of all thanks for checking out the demo :) I'm aware that some things are still rough on the edges and I'm trying to fix the most important ones. Definitely voice acting is on my list and you can expect higher quality in that matter for sure. Thanks for all other suggestions as well and see you around :3
