How difficult?

[Snobby Hobo]

I read a few reviews as this game looks very interesting. I am a huge fan of indie games generally, as I prefer creative games over AAA games pretty much always(few exceptions like super hyped games like FO4 ofc).

Some of the negative aspects of the game are described as "easy, no real challenge but yet quite fun". That's a frightening con for me. I usually like games that are really difficult like Hotline Miami, Dark souls series and Kerbal. If this game would be as easy as the reviews state there's no fun to be had for me.

So question speaks for itself now: is it of proper difficulty or is it too easy(too difficult doesn't matter)?

I would say - that depends. If you use every object you have on map (some of them are randomly choosen at each restart of the stage), it's quite easy except maybe one or two maps. If you decide not to use them to your advantage - then game become really hard. There's also character you unlock after finish game that can't use them at all (he have diffrent perks tho, but still - quite hard an entertaining). I spend a lot of time in game already and it was quite fun - not to hard, not to easy. Harder if you want, easier? Nope.

Hope this will help. Good luck! And remember - turn music off before 3AM!

Each time you play a map certain things can be random, and the levels can play out different each time.
Its very addictive.
Its (as said) not difficult, but still offers some challenge generally.
The fun is actually playing out the levels.

LOL, saying the above, im not past level 1 yet :p, i get to a few ravers left and get careless, but ill get there.
It makes you want to have more and more goes the more you die lol.

I think the game needs a slightly better tutorial to explain how the "Listen" and "Dance" mechanic works

The Miami stage where people are saying is the hardest, mostly is due to the fact that they don't use "Listen" to figure out who can or cannot see them. Because previous levels were not one giant open thing with few hiding spaces its a bit jarring from a difficulty perspective if you weren't using that function before.

The maps that are 'hard' is when traps are less common and usually doesn't kill more than a few people.

Car traps that runs over a lot of people, AoE traps like setting a room on fire (useless if people can't be lured into the room enmass), or blowing up things around it.

Later you'll find that some maps lack AoE traps and becomes extremely hard to kill without certain items that randomly spawns, like smoke grenades, which lets you murder scot free in a small radius, then run and have them blame someone on them (useful to murder on the dance floor, and then have everyone get paranoid on one another).

Also, having a twitch chat unload all sorts of nasty events really ramps up the difficulty. I know this by experience. Thanks my loyal followers. >: )

Halloween level seems to crash a lot, unable to beat it no matter what.

They should add in a multiplayer mode where 2 players (online or local), try to get the most kills at two separate parties, and ends up 'sending' events towards one another.

It's pretty hard. The Miami level has me stuck because suddenly the witnesses are telepathic or something. Kill some victim on one side of the map without anyone seeing. Go to the other and plot my next move when suddenly someone randomly points me out as the murderer. Also NPCs can walk through certain obstacles I can't. IDK, feels broken to me at this point.
