really interesting game! i love the environment, the sfx and the visuals really enhanced the experience and it played really well, the only downside for me was that i wasn't able to solve any of the problems, i understand that it might take away from the game experience but its a shame because id really love to see how the other endings play out if i were able to solve all the problems
really good game regardless!
Intriguing concept. Sadly I was entirely incapable of solving the puzzle. But you created a really tense and creepy atmosphere. Props.
Don't worry about failing the puzzle, as long as you reached the End you did everything you could have. Thank you for playing.
Pretty bizarre, arty and creepy. The music's giving Resident Evil 1. Interesting!
The trouble is, the lack of explanation about what the puzzle is - which I realise is an intentional part of the art - kind of harms the enjoyment of the gameplay. Perhaps a few hints would have helped.
any idea how you're supposed to solve the puzzle
It definitely relates to matching the letters and the numbers, but I don't know what the stack of 4 is, or what you're supposed to do when there isn't a direct match.
the patterns aswell, can't figure out what they mean
The puzzles are the way they are because of how the story in the game works. Just liked the idea of the borderline unfair expectations. If i had to give a hint it would be that all the different patterns just have to solve one internal logic and the rest could be there just as a red herring. So like AKU could be 0 and AEKBU would also be 0 because it solves the internal logic. That's just the puzzle side of things. I still do like the way its done in Story.
But also thank you for playing the Game.
no problem good idea, the game design just seemed unfair, but it does makes sense with the story.
The part that got me is it seemed more like each individual character had to be translated and solved.
This is a really scary game. I've gotten so engrossed in the game that I've forgotten where I was sitting. Nice work!
I wasn't really trying to make a scary game, but i guess it does have the Surrealist vibe to it so that's fair. Thanks for playing.
