[specs]
- mac mini m2, 32gb ram, 12 cores
- browser, chromium
[overall/first impressions]
- absolutely phenomenal love letter to PT, fun and interesting puzzles, well done psych-horror without being edgy/overboard, great & uncomfortable voice acting and art.
[intro]
- short opening door animatic/glitch sound
[audio]
- VERY effective sound design, love to hear some human voice acting, really genuinely creepy atmosphere/ambience
[art/visuals]
- loved the painterly style of the character art and the assets all felt really well-grounded in the world.
[customization/accessibility]
- opening tutorial screen with controls/instructions, Hint button (never used but very nice to offer for a puzzle game)
- pause screen with same exact screen (big plus)
- no customization for display/audio (slight negative, but didn’t have any issues)
[gameplay/handling/controls]
- WASD to move, mouse to look, toggleable torch.
- walking-sim first person PT style psych horror.
- fun loop with interesting and some slightly difficult puzzles. nice in-world shout outs to the devs/other credited people. very weird/surreal unsettling vibes in general.
[bugs/issues]
- font used for the UI menu has a special character which doesn’t display due to it being a demo version
- first and third phone said left click to hang up but the correct button is right click
- was able to see through all doors by walking up to them as close as possible
- in the bathroom, the eraser thing kept dropping when i went to scrub something and once i dropped it in front of the sink, i couldn’t pick it up again and had to wait til i died
- the phone number entry on the last level kept repeating numbers so i had to wait about 2-3 seconds in between each one to get it to stop
- upon failing the bathroom, there was a weird delay glitch where i should’ve died but didn’t and had to force restart
- back to menu button on the final credit screen didn’t do anything
