I'm looking for 10 or so people to play the first chapter of my game and tell
me exactly where they got stuck. That's the whole ask — I don't need praise,
I need the map of where people bounce off.
What it is: a first-person escape room set in a corner video rental store that
closed in 1985. Seven puzzles that chain into each other, about 40 minutes,
no combat, no timers, no jump scares. Fully voiced in English, Portuguese and
Spanish. Windows, portable zip, nothing installs.
What I specifically want feedback on:
1. Where did you get stuck, and what did you try before you got unstuck?
2. Was there ever a moment where you couldn't tell whether the game had
registered what you just did? (I've already shipped one puzzle that failed
this and it cost a tester fifteen minutes.)
3. How long did it FEEL like you played? Don't check the clock — the guess is
the useful part.
There's a 4-minute form at the end. Answering it is the point of the build.
One thing I'd ask: if you get stuck, please stay stuck. Don't message me for
the answer and I won't give it — a tester with the dev on hand isn't the
player I'm designing for.
It's free and it's a closed test, so the link below is a direct download key
rather than a store page. Nothing to sign up for. Happy to play and give
written feedback on yours in return — just point me at it.
