• I love this concept!! Flipping this genre of game on its head with you being the creepy stalker trying to avoid being caught while trying to find out what she likes is great stuff. I Especially liked the intro cutscene as the art was great! To be honest though, the game falls a bit flat on execution. First of all, getting caught really means nothing other than a potential jumpscare because there are no checks to see if you even went into the house to check the items before sending the message. So you can just run around looking for the keywords in as many loops as you need before just standing outside and sending the message, which really removes the tension from actually getting caught as there is seemingly no consequence to it. Using the heavy metal to act as an alert for where the streamer is and as a tension builder is a good idea, but because it plays in a spherical radius seemingly unimpeded by walls, it really just adds confusion to where she is, as she could be on the second floor streaming when I am on the first and it sounds like she is right next to me so I mostly just started ignoring it. Also, the streamer moves WAY too fast to be something to face, instead of trying to dodge or hide her, whenever she was offstream I just ran outside and waited for her to start again instead of trying to hide. Finally, your GDD is very bare-bones and does not contain much of the information we would want to see, like your inspiration, your development goals and milestones, mechanical breakdowns etc. To round out though I want to encourage you, this IS a great concept and you should absolutely be proud of it. I can absolutely see the vision you were going for and I congratulate you on the creativity. I can absolutely see this winning a jam if it was given more time and polish and playtesting. Thank you for submitting, I genuinely hope to see what you do in the future!
