With all Feedback Quest 9 games, I play each game for 30 minutes or so, for context on my comments.
I liked the art of Leon&Suharto, and OMG, the writing is sooo good. Amazing descriptions and phrases that really painted the scenes in my mind. Legit sounded like the kind of writing I'd expect from a published novel. That said, good lord, this game is DARK at the start. The warnings after the game loaded were very much appreciated, so my viewers knew to dip if needed.
The Steam page mentions voice acting; however, the version I downloaded from Itch.io didn't have that, so guessing that will be in the full release only? Likewise, looking at the Steam page, there are mechanics not in this version, which is too bad because they seem to add some additional richness and interactivity versus just being an observer in the first chapter.
In terms of issues found:
- When in full-screen mode, the cursor didn't show in the game, only in OBS. When I switched it to window mode, the cursor came back. If it helps: Windows 10 system; I was running OBS, CrowdControl, Tangia, Firebot, and Chrome.
- Some of the dialogs auto-advanced near the start so fast I missed them. I think this was intentional during the argument, but the first instance happened when Astrid was yelling at Leon.
- How to do the heartbeat action was completely lacking in directions on how the mechanic worked in general. And either it wasn't working, or I just was not getting it. I tried moving my mouse, I tried clicking, and just could not get it to be centered.
