What I liked:

  • The art style was really cool
  • Player controls felt pretty solid
  • The music fit with what I was seeing, it didn't feel out of place.
  • You kept the game short enough to keep a player's interest (which is hard imo)
  • In relation to the above, it seemed that it gave you more time to work on polish

Suggestions:

  • While I liked the shifting textures on objects, I think they should either shift slower or have less detail to them. The doorway put a strain on my eyes.
  • The camera acts a guide to the goal at points in the game, which isn't bad in itself, but I think it should be a button feature rather than automatic (like a hint when you can't figure out where to go.) There were points where I was trying to jump to platforms, but I was fighting the camera while trying to jump the platforms
  • I liked the voice acting, but I felt like there were instances where the dialogue's implied certain emotions and it didn't sync up with the voices (mostly Fee)

Overall this is a really cool entry and congrats! Do you plan to move forward with the game?

Hi Dan! Yeah I would like to continue the game. At least until Taras discovers who's Fee.


Thank you so much for your review. I will go point by point with your suggestions:

1) Texture shift: I received this suggestion several times, so the new release have the textures slowed down!

2) The camera acts as a goal point: True, that was the main idea, at least for the level 1. I thought that if the camera focus the objective, the players would know what to do, and at the same time the cinematic fit very well.  On the other hand, I've received several reviews about the camera moving so fast. Now, in the Menu of the game (Escape) you can adjust the sensitivity of the mouse ^^

3) About the voices: This I can't do so much, the voices are auto generated, and don't provide a control to give the voice more emotions (change the tone or pitch, etc). I tried to shirk that problem making more pauses, but yeah, there's a "Taras You've to escape NOW" that sounds really light. I'll investigate this problem further, thanks to pointing me out!

Do you think the voices adds to the game or I should remove it ? 

Thank you so much for your honest review!

No problem! I didn't know the voices were auto-generated. That's pretty impressive that I didn't notice that. I do think voices add to the game, but if you can't get friends to record the lines, what you have is fine.
