This game

[Rose Borger]

Why this specific game costs more than the other games I don't understand.
It's the exact same concept and gameplay besides the graphics looking a bit better, but the gameplay itself may be inferior to past OD games.

There's way less scary things going on, most of the time nothing will happen, and the anomalies are the weakest of the entire saga! The first two games had this weird and scary ambience and atmosphere, but this one just feels boring, the tone of the colors makes you feel sleepy and again, most of the time nothing happens or anomalies are so weak that you get bored of them fast...

And past OD games didn't need to have loud and jumpscare anomalies to feel scary, they didn't have them besides some few anomalies being "this naked npc is literally eating the camera", but that was it, they were unnerving regardless. And past games didn't reuse anomalies THAT much, this one reuses them a lot, specially the "there's a random severed head here, how spooky right?" in multiple maps, it got boring!

I don't know, I'm not liking this one, to be honest. You'd expect way more horror and more levels and anomalies in a game that costs way more than the other games. You're not getting that.

Dude has earned his keep and bills need to be paid. He has made 5 other games. He has more than earned the right to raise the price.

I'm pretty sure the majority of steam forum users are children and turd worlders who earn like $10 a month. There's always tons of complaining about games not going on sale or complaining about indie developers having the gall to charge more than $5 for a game. Honestly it's annoying. Gaming is so cheap nowadays especially compared to when I was growing up.

tbf, it depends where you live. I don't live in Brazil anymore, but if I did, I'd have to pay R$300 if I wanted Starfield, then close to R$500 if I wanted the premium edition or whatever they're calling it. For reference, the minimum wage in Brazil is about R$1300, an amount not everyone gets.

Just don't convert it to dollars and claim it's cheap, cuz barely anyone who actually lives in Brazil gets paid in American dollars.

As for IOOD6's actual price, I agree that it's fair. The game does look more prfessional and as far as OP's complaints regarding the anomalies go, it's unfounded. These games have had next to nothing happening most of the time, loud jumpscares, and repeating anomalies since the first one.

What does feel off is the atmosphere and the rate at which anomalies happen. This game is absurdly easy compared even to 5. That's not to say it's not worth the price, though. Despite what people on Steam say, a game's quality doesn't actually impact its price. Heck, when Bomb Rush Cyberfunk came out I saw someone saying that the price was high for a game that has less than 2GB to install...

While I can partially agree with some of OP's arguments, so far I've played this game for almost 10 hours and had lots of fun. And I'm not done. Basically, I'll end up paying less than a dollar per hour of fun, which I think is decent. And with a hard mode being added in a future update, that's gonna be more hours per dollar. Meanwhile, to see a 2 hour movie at the cinema I usually have to pay about $20, and that's not always equally entertaining as this game is. So that's one way to look at it.

This game is also very refined, technically, compared to the previous ones, particularly in the graphics, gameplay, and UI departments. Which means more work to make the game.

I do agree that the game feels a bit less "weird" and spooky than previous entries. And quite a bit less risqué. And yes, I also think that a few too many anomalies are reused a bit too many times. The new reporting system will likely be loved by some, and disliked by others - it's not really better or worse.

There's nothing wrong in giving some honest, critical thoughts on the game. However, the developer can't foresee the reaction of the audience until after release. Expecting them to have a lower price on the game that's had more work done on it than any of the previous ones, and also has as many levels as the previous game, is being unrealistic.

So let's instead give constructive feedback on the things we think could be better(rather than demanding lower prices), and maybe Notivia will either fix those things in an update, or at least bring those thoughts into future installments. ;)
