The story was really strange and twisted, I'm not sure if it has any meaning. I appreciate the originality, but I didn't really enjoy it. The story should be developed a bit more - it felt more like a few disjoint scenes rather than a continuous logical sequence. Also I think there should be some more puzzles.
The dialog text appeared too slowly for my taste, but at least there was an option to click through it. Also, one of the items was named "test_item_2", I suspect that was not intentional.
I liked the graphics, it was fitting for this style of game and participated in a creepy atmosphere.
Overall, I think this has potential for a certain type of audience. It is fairly unique in its style and can imagine a full game in this style with a deeper story.
You've done a good job, even if it's not my cup of tea :slight_smile:
@mvasko2 Thanks for detailed review! Yes, we agree, story is strange. But the main factor of this was a lack of time, so we couldn't just think it over completely, and therefore it reminds separate pieces of story. It as always - in your head it looks beautiful and completed, but when it's getting implementing - not all becomes the same :/
I mostly getted what was your intention with story, and i can see how much effort you did to bring this concept. It's a lot twisted, but with the certain amount of heart - and mostly time - could became an outsdanding game.
The art style, character movement and sounds i liked very much! Kinda makes sense for this game.
but for sure the story and the progression of the game lacks some content. For an update, i would consider to rewrite the story to fill the gaps and trully express what you want.
Great work! I'll be waiting for an update ansiously.😀
Made me chuckle, well done :)
@devemil @miej @bereg thanks guys for your feedback! Very appreciate this.
@miej sacral meaning is - the person discover true identity of himself, and it is piggy ;D
I got a few of the "test_items" that a few other folks have mentioned, and I'm not really sure how. They just popped into my inventory. :sweat_smile:
Somewhat reminded me on Franz Kafkas "Metamorphosis" (but I'm glad your game didn't end like that!)
