Does the house layout get randomized?

[Squirting Elephant]

Or once you know how to beat it and know all item locations, you will beat it every time?

[Flaenl]

no

[Squirting Elephant]

In that case, 28 euro for a game that probably has not a lot of replay value after learning the item locations and how to get there does not seem attractive to me. I was kinda hoping for random generated sections of the house for replay value.

yeah the items not the room each room is desgined to show more of the story and with random room there isn't really muvh story

I see. That sounds fair enough.
Game looks very fun. But game also looks like you just play it for like one single afternoon and then never look back at it. I'm looking for games that waste a bit more of my time. But maybe in the future on a discount I'll buy it.

Oh that changes a lot! So there are 4-5 completly different houses (or at least they play very differently)?

I like that the dev of this game did everything in thir power to show off the prosses of making this game, and yet we still get doods in the fourms "Wow, a scay game about a guy? I never bothered to even look at a video of this, but I know that it's only worth 10 cents."

[Squirting Elephant]

I did watch some videos but they happened all to be the same house... Also none of the reviews I watched explained that.

Also dev did not put it in as a game feature on store page. Might be listed somewhere on storepage but I never read them 100% through because too often are they loaded with nonsense (like "next gen graphics" in advertisement for an rpg maker game). Not having that info obviously does not make the game worth 30$.

Also I have seen this before a lot:

Constantly evolving experience where the Neighbor's AI counters your moves, and learns from what you do

9 out of 10 times (not saying this game is like that as well) you get a game that is scripted with like 3 differenct scenarios for the AI to act depending on what you did before. That to me is not "learning".

So I saw this game and I was like "Oh looks fun, but only 1 house". I watched some gameplay/review videos on YouTube and again it looked like it did not have a lot of gameplay. I briefly read the storepage but aside from the videos there, nothing interesting to read.

So I asked here and it seems it has different houses, which pretty much quadrupples the gametime wasted on it.

if you just walk in though the front door, he closes the front door next time.
If you keep going though the front door, he'll lock the front door.
If you pick the lock, he installs a camera to watch the front door.
If you slip past the camera, he sets up a bear trap on the pourch to catch you off gaurd.
if you go around the bear trip, he sets up more traps.
IIRC all this is in the pre-alpa proof of concept "demo"

I know it now. But you know... So much borderline-false advertising on Steam that when a game is ACTUALLY doing what it says, I don't believe it anymore until I see/read it from others.
Though I would recommend the devs to be more clear about having 4-5 houses on the storepage as this is an important feature!

But I'm gonna buy this game anyway. Just not sure yet when, have some Summer Sale games to burn. But looks good.

WHAT no co-up???? j/k ;)
