Hi KnightAnNi!
First of all, I’m really sorry for taking so long to reply! We’ve just come back from a two-day in-person video game event where we were actually presenting The Billy Midnight Show. It ended up being pretty exhausting, and we were away from social media for most of it, so we’re only now catching up with all the messages and feedback we received.
Thank you so much for taking the time to play the game, stream it, and write such detailed feedback. We really appreciate it, and we’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed Billy, the art style, and the overall concept of the game!
Your feedback about the Tic Tac Toe creatures is especially useful. We can definitely see how the flashlight mechanic might not be clear enough at first, and if the player understands what they are supposed to do but still gets killed before the flashlight can eliminate the creature, then that’s something we need to review as well.
The same goes for the final chase. We want it to feel tense and challenging, but not like the player has to memorize the entire route perfectly through repeated deaths. We really like your suggestion of either slightly reducing the creatures’ speed or introducing ways to slow them down during the chase, so we’ll keep that in mind while balancing that section.
Thank you as well for pointing out the remaining Spanish text in the English version! We’ll make sure to fix those interaction prompts and the “Reintentar / Salir” buttons.
And we’re really glad Billy’s dialogue felt natural! His personality is a very important part of the game, so hearing that he came across as charismatic and memorable means a lot to us.
As for Billy and the lore... those are exactly the kinds of questions we want players to start asking. Who he is, what he wants, how he became involved with the family, and whether his promises can actually be trusted are all things that will be explored further in the full game.
The game is also part of Nocturn Infernum, an Argentine literary universe of cosmic horror that is available in English as well. Since you mentioned being interested in the lore and story of this world, if you’d like, we’d be happy to provide you with a free digital copy of the books through Google Play Books so you can explore the universe in more depth.
Thank you again for playing and for sharing the VODs with us! When the edited YouTube video is ready, please send us the link. We’d be more than happy to share it through Pi Studio’s social media and help give it as much visibility as we can.
Thanks again for the amazing feedback and for giving The Billy Midnight Show a chance!
