a nice place by netmute 2020-10-06T19:32:24Z
Hey @netmute , This is nice. Like, that's the best way to put it. It's nice. Good mood, good atmosphere. Let's go through the more prominent positives:
1) Sound. The lack of a music is really spot on here. I hope it's intentional because it really works in this game. I have seen games that also work well with music during periods of reflection so that isn't to say the lack of music is the absolute best way about it.
Nevertheless, I enjoy it. I only hoped that, during the period where the protagonist sleeps on the beach, the waves would dim to a silent for a moment. That would just add a small bit more polish to the game!
2) And honestly, it's a nice place. Hah. It's a very short game. But you've decorated the world with small bits that hint at the narrative and as the plot unfolds, so to does the player's understanding of what the game is about.
You've set a good place for the narrative in my opinion. I enjoy it!
If there were any nitpicks I have, it would be:
1) The controls. It feels too clunky to move around having to spam the movement keys, or press too long for the auto-movement to kick it. But it doesn't detract too much from the experience.
Overall, very nice. A hidden gem almost. Really loved this neat thing!
