Some bugs and other thoughts

[troinliveshere]

So far, I really enjoy this game and am looking forward to the full release. I like how the game handles the aspect of the entity taking the form of someone else compared to the original where it can legitimately look like one of passerby in the crowd with small clues even without the music (though I'm disappointed that it only takes the form of essentially a tall Samara instead of constantly changing its appearance like in the original. That's what I meant in the comments of the trailer when I said that I hoped it took on other forms). The original music also helps instead of the stock music from the original like when you look at the entity. Though there's some bugs I've came across. In the subway, after awhile, the environmental sounds turn off. There's another bug where when I press new game, the changes made in the menu don't carry over. I also don't know if it's a bug or not, but there are people who would appear and disappear in front of me. Small thing, but there's a typo where it says "focussed" instead of "focused."

Hey troinliveshere! This is great feedback, thank you so much for playing!

So from the original demo, the entity would change its looks and disguise itself as one of the NPCs but always retained its height, so it was pretty obvious to tell which one was the entity. In this demo, it'll disguise itself as an NPC as well as take the height of an NPC, so it's harder to tell, but it will still disguise itself haha. The tall, old-looking lady is its true form.

I've literally just fixed the environmental sounds in the subway also, good spot!

And yes, I'll also have a look at the others :)

Cheers bro, these are really helpful. Hope you enjoy the full game!

Ok, thank you for telling me. The way it disguises itself as other people was done better in this version than in the original for those same reasons (also in the original, no matter what form it takes, there's always a little glow or spotlight on its face which, like the tall height, defeats the purpose of it looking like anyone). I also like how you can still notice subtle details when it's in disguise like someone's head being down.

I recently played the demo and was pleased surprised! It was fun yet utterly terrifying… especially if you dont like being chased in video games! The concept is great with people getting in your way and the monster taking form of someone else really keeps you in edge. Awesome work so far and you can check out some of my clips here!
