Cause I didn't hear any.\nThe game mechanics need more explanations. I didn't really get, what the red areas are doing, where the line of fire is that you've written about, why The Butcher is getting teleported away, or what the losing condition is. Also I think that WASD controlls don't match well with the isometric perspective.\n\nI hope you find the time to continue working on your game!","format":"md","likes":2,"spam":"N"},{"id":958554,"author_name":"Groundwater Studio","author_uid":"groundwater-studio","epoch":1683138284,"text":"Okay I imagine the backstory video had narration of some sort playing over it but good god was there something hilarious about slowly and silently zooming in on these characters.
