Jack is a strong name - just look at the powerhouses of Jack Nicholson, Jack Reacher, Jack Palance and Jack(ie) Chan.
I enjoyed the premise of Dead Faces, with the chapters of the four characters located in the rooms of the apartment. Attention to detail with being able to pick up pretty much every item was noted, and could have spent an hour just looking at the books in the bookshelf for some hidden easter eggs. (Metallica!) Intrigued to find out more about Jack and how he has (maybe) hurt the other four characters in the game. Got caught with a jump scare in the above play-though, but thought the Tall Man was a little goofy and felt like he wanted to give me some cookies or just play with me. Looking forward to the full release - just saw the update so roll on February!
Pros:
- Great atmosphere and left me wanting to find out more
- Attention to detail with all the objects in the game and how you can interact with them is impressive. Bar above most games of this genre.
- Sound design/foley work is eerie and keeps the player listening for clues, etc.
Cons:
- Could just be for this prologue demo, but thought the amount of jump scares was starting to be thrown around a little willy nilly.
- Seems to be a lot of time of being stuck in the rooms with the forcefields without anything happening - would reduce the time for pacing/flow issues.
- Would make the Tall Man a little more threatening...
Overall looking forward to the final product!
