Love the atmosphere! The grungy visuals and the music fit well together. Nice touch with the dirty-overlay. I wonder if you could make it scroll with you.
That being said, the intro is HORRIBLE. That was 3 minutes of me hammering the buttons to get to the actual game.
Man.... I really wanted to make progress in this game! I'm intrigued, the music and graphics work well together, the writing is good... but every time I touch the right edge of the screen, my character disappears and the game is frozen! :( (repro steps: get the knife, then walk to the right edge of the base) If you ever post a walkthrough, I'd happily play it again.
Hey, Sorry for the inconvenience, I fixed the bug (somewhat) and I added a skip button.
I've tried the game and tried it again but I can't get past the "Find the book" part. Everytime I got to the graveyard and use tombstone I get teleported at start or I get stuck if I leave the screen.
Make the girl walk faster maybe? Visual, music, story seems great so far and I would love to play more if you could tell us what to do in steps :)
The character kept going off screen and I could not figure out what to do. As for innovation, not sure there is anything special about it. Since I could not figure it out, it was not very fun or humorous and I cannot accurately judge the theme. The graphics were faded and it was hard to see
When I go to the cemetery I get some dialogue, and then i'm back at the initial room, and this keeps happening... I also keep getting the same dialogue many times, that end with "Mission dialogue" or something. And why here the character is so much bigger then on the screenshots?
The mood is nice, but it seems like there are just too many bugs
Well, I loved the concept, aesthetic, music, mood, etc. However, the game gave me some bugs. Here's a report in case useful...
When I started the game, the intro text starts repeating after having read all the intro text. Then, when I got to the gravestone and press Z it says "Computer Dialog" then blanks the screen and does the knife dialog (which I'd have thought was later since I hadn't found the book yet). Went to the south east but, when I pressed z on any doors, it started the intro text again.
First off I like the dialog and mood of the game, that you accomplished phenomenally. Now, I played the game and encountered several bugs, such as being able to walk off the map, getting stuck in buildings, etc. And I like the direction the game was going just wish you had more time to put in what you wanted.
As others said, the atmosphere is nice, although I wish there was an ambiant music as well.
I followed the directions in the description, but couldn't enter any house! Too bad, I really wanted to see the ending :(
Great job with the atmosphere.
