Очень бы хотелось увидеть полноценную версию, потому что сейчас, конечно, все максимально линейно и нет головоломок. Тебе не нужно изучать комнату, тратить время на анализ предметов и как они взаимодействуют между собой. Не хватает эффекта "и что со всем этим делать?". Все максимально понятно и проходиться за минуты 2.
Но, разумеется для джема это очень хороший результат и однозначно я получила удовольствие от игры, замечательная работа.
Nice entry !
Amazing project with a freaky but nice aesthetic. It seems to me that I am facing to **The Dorian Gray Portrait**. Well done. At first, I did not understand what I was supposed to do clicking blindly on screen. Maybe a brief tutorial or an explanation could be useful. You did an interesting game which deserves more ratings. In fact, the masterpiece is its background. I wish you the best. Thank you for this strange experience ++
PS : Respectfully you have to rate other games if you want ratings. I notice that it’s your first entry to LD. I guess that you did not understand the main rules. However it's not a big deal ++
Some remarks:
1. Sometimes game lacks of feedback on why nothing happens after clicking on items, e.g. clicking on diary at the beginning. Expectation: cursor or text indicate that it is too early to click on item.
2. Text on TV disappears too quickly, so it is hard to read it. Expectation: more time to read or clicking to continue.
3. Game got stuck on putting words into sentences: nothing happens on clicking and dragging words and numbers. 4K display here. Expectation: drag words onto numbers.
Hope this remarks will be helpful.
Good entry!
great game ;D
Good job on the effects. Audio was amazing and the artstyle was good. Also, thank you for not using default unity buttons and being more creative with the text in the menu. Also small bug: the screen faded twice when I died.
Overall, pretty fun experience. Good job
