I won&acute;t rate your game by now, it is pretty bugged, the archeologists stay so close to each other, that I can&acute;t kill any of them. When I killed one somehow, the game said to me that I finished game even that I killed only one of these folks. How I said, I won&acute;t rate by now. But it has cons also! Really great mood, it works well with that graphic. That monster could be darker, but still pretty nice! Hope you will fix it as soon as possible."},{"author_name":"jrhee","author_uid":"55500","time":"Aug 25, 2015 @ 3:51pm","epoch":1440517560,"text":"Nice game- the monster looks great!

The main character and its animations was also really well made, as well as the audio in general.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>I really couldn't figure out the camera controls and I think the experience could be greatly improved with a  camera which follows the character automatically. \r<br\/>\r<br\/>I had trouble figuring out how to get past the archaeologists without being seen and dying and therefore I couldn't have a lot of fun playing it.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Also, the game would crash every time I died and it tried reloading the menu.\r<br\/>\r<br\/>Overall - all the aesthetics are great but would love to see more work on functionality and playability next time.
