- Youtube Link / Twitch Link
- Graphics : Fine?
- GUI : Fine , I like that the settings menu is thematic.
- Performance : Fine
- Music / Sfx :
- Music : Main menu music is exceedingly loud.
- SFX : Fine
- Gameplay : A bit unsure as the demo is rather short, there's an edutainment bit and an ARG / DOS bit , I'd assume the game will go for a combination of the two going forward.
- Misc Issues :
- You can keep doing the word guess after 'failing'
- Notes :
- MORTIS
- It'd be nice if you could just click the word rather than click and drag, especially with how long it goes on for.
- It's a bit fiddly to get the word into the blank spot sometimes.
- It gets a bit loud right before and during the word guess ending , rather it didn't.
- Unsure if the voice direction is meant to be kind of grating , but it can be rather dificult to hear and understand as well.
- Repeated lines in the word guess are frequent and can be a bit annoying, making a voice line every 3 or so could be good instead of every one.
- Final Thoughts : It's a bit hard to get an idea of how this will be in it's final state , as it is it's a bit annoying with the constant voice lines and the click n' drag word guessing, the ARG command line was a bit more enjoyable.

Hi Zflocco,
I just read on the discord that loud audio and jumpscares are not your thing, so apologies for not notifying you in advance of that. A big thank you for still taking time to play and give feedback for my game.
Much of your critiques are valid. I have some fixes in the latest version that address some of them. Including:
- The audio is much more balanced now (i.e. main menu music is no longer extremely loud)
- The audio settings give more control over the sound levels
- Words cannot still be submitted after "losing" the word game
- The gameplay includes a bit more content
You are the second person to mention that the "drag n drop" mechanic was a bit cumbersome, so I will aim to replace it with clicking to fill in the blank. I will also make Barry not repeat lines that have already been delivered.
You seem very busy, so it is understandable if you do not have time to reply, but thanks again!
