Beta Opinion

[Flowers]

I have some suggestions. It is not a bad game, and it can be fun.

Some of these problems may be solved, but I missed ways to fix them.

Suggestions:

1. MOST IMPORTANT: MAP. Please include a map. I found the game to be extremely frustrating because there was no map. The game did not save after each objective, so when I died, I had to figure out where to go all over again. The mansion is too big, and finding items needed to go progress through the game is hard because the game does not say where or what item that you need. The map should also show doors that are locked once you have come in contact with them.

2. IMPORTANT: I cannot find a setting to raise the brightness. The game is too dark. I know it is supposed to be dark. I raised the brightness on my monitor, and I still had to hunch over to see the screen well.

3. Saves after each objective. This would make the game less frustrating when a person dies, and it would prevent backtracking that would be needed when they do.

4. English dialogue subtitles would be appreciated.

4. I think that this letter should be in English so that everyone can read it:

5. Please include an option to skip cutscenes.

6. Please include multiple save points. I always enjoy being able to save on two files just in case one corrupts or I save at an awkward moment.

7. There were two graphical errors that I encountered. I did not beat the game though because I did not have the time, so there might be more. They are small errors, but I want to be as helpful as possible.

When opening and shutting doors, her head or arms tend to go through the doors. It is not in that picture because it occurs too quick to screenshot.

8. Maybe a tutorial to describe the controls and use of items.

9. Sometimes it is hard to tell which direction the enemy is coming from, but this would not be a big deal if I could save more often because I would not have to worry about losing a lot of progress.

10. Please include a health bar.

11. The first conversation between the protaganist and the old man is weird. I know it has to do with the angel photo, but it confused me.

12. Holding doors can be difficult. I find myself often accidentally shutting the door with me and the enemy in the room instead of shutting it while I leave the room.

Pros:

The restore life and save area is a unique idea.
The voice acting is great.
The music is excellent like Silent Hill and Resident Evil.
I love the objective screen.
I like the reference to the name Jennifer. The wife also reminds me of Jennifer Sutton from the early 2.5d project.
The death scenes are cool and bloody.
The scared mechanic when the main character hides is unique and fun.

I would suggest including trading cards and achievements upon the final release. I enjoy them. It would not make a difference in deciding whether I bought the game or not. It might be a good idea to either make the soundtrack avaliable to purchase on steam or avaliable for free on steam.

Overall: This game definitely has potential. If the game is avaliable for me to play tomorrow, I will try to find the time to beat it. I think that the beta should be extended because the Steam Summer Sale may have prevented players from trying the beta because they were too focused on playing games that they purchased on discount.

Thank you Chris Darril for allowing me to sign up for the beta. I think that the game has shown a lot of progress since it was a 2.5d game many years ago.
