Hello! Thanks for the feedback and for the video. I’ll improve the tutorial in the game.
I watched how you play, and I can say that I originally intended for the player to approach the game more strategically.
You can’t outrun the monster in the game, and as you said yourself, the monster can simply enter your room at any moment and kill you. The idea is that your goal as a player is to prevent exactly that from happening!
By placing cameras around the house and checking all the connected rooms, you can make sure the monster doesn’t just walk into your room unnoticed. If we see it approaching from one side, we can move in the other direction.
But if you run around the entire level blindly like you did, then yes, the monster can always catch you.
As I understand it, you were running around the house mainly to find the boxes. That’s my fault — I’ll try to make the tutorial emphasize being careful above all else.
You also don’t need to crouch all the time, only when the monster is nearby, for example, in the next room. I’ll explain this in more detail in the tutorial text.
Overall, I’ll make a dedicated tutorial level. And we won’t use those bulky notes with lots of text anymore.
Also, what exactly is wrong with the controller? Is something not working, or is the layout uncomfortable?.
