The art on this was fantastic. The game did have some frame rate issues on my machine. I played this with an i5-3470 with integrated graphics which can usually handle a decent amount of optimized gameplay with no issues. I did just get a new geforce gt 1030 gpu and the games works much better now, which leads me to believe the game has a high amount of draw calls, possibly due to lighting/ no static batching, single material instances, ect?
Other than that I really enjoyed the art and the story had me hooked, but due to the poor frame rate issue when I first played through it made it feel dragged out and took the punch of the story away for me. I streamed it here:
Nice to see such a rich story based game in the Jam, impressive art direction and good writing.
Astonishing what you have created in just a week. The art is beyond amazing! Truly :) The story itself is really interesting and is paced extremely well. It you were to update this I'd wanna see some hints of the monster in reflections of glass or mirrors, like you see it for a glimpse before it disappears (just a suggestion not a criticism).
This game is amazing and really well put together. The polish is amazing! My only small gripe would be the character walks a little slow for me. I know you want to build up slowly in a game like this, and perhaps this opinion is mine alone, but since part of the game is walking around and finding the next story beat, I would have liked the character to move faster.
But yea, truly incredible! Great job :)
Thank you for the feedback! To be honest I wanted to add more of those subtle hints as well but I didn't have the time to do much of it. And about the walk speed, a lot of people have requested it to be faster so I think it's a general gripe for people.
Anyway glad to see you enjoyed the game!
