Thank you so much for the amazing feedback! We absolutely loved watching your gameplay, and we’re really happy you enjoyed the presentation, lighting, parallax, and especially the tank controls! Your right to say it helps a lot to create that tension that old survival horror have and that's why we wanted them in. Modern controls are really going to be in the more dynamic way so it will break a bit of tension but add a lot of fun to the game which is also what you want when playing a game :). Plus its replay-ability and you betcha that when we get the achievement working that there will be one for finishing the game in modern all the way and one for tank controls all the way hahaha (devil ears) 

The lighting was definitely a challenge to get working with our 2D setup in Unreal, so it means a lot to hear that you noticed and enjoyed it!

You were playing an older version (1.7), so the map issues you encountered have already been fixed in 1.8, with a few more fixes coming in Demo 1.9 next Friday, October 9th.

We also loved hearing your thoughts on the limited save system! It’s something we really wanted to approach differently from the usual survival horror formula, so we’re glad it caught your attention.

Thanks again for playing, sharing your thoughts, and getting excited for the full game! We can’t wait for you to see what’s next!

Hey Collectonian,

Thank you so much for the detailed feedback! We actually watched your gameplay, and it was great seeing you experience the Redwood Estate. We’re really happy you enjoyed the concept and direction we’re taking! 

We completely agree about the opening movie text and will look into making it easier to read. We’ll also look into adding an option to speed up in-game dialogue.

We’re currently working on modern controls to make movement more flexible and intuitive, especially with mouse + keyboard. We’ll also investigate the 180° turn issue with the left stick.

Your feedback about the map is great too! We have something planned for Early Access with collectible maps that will better identify rooms and doors, making them more useful to the player.

We also noticed the backtracking you experienced 😅 We’ll look at making that staircase more obvious.

The LB/menu issue was identified, fixed and should be included in tomorrow’s patch!

Thanks again for playing and taking the time to share all this. Feedback like yours really helps us polish the Redwood Estate while staying true to our vision.
