Second Reupload since the mod deleted the original post.

A few months ago I saw this game and it’s unique and interesting. But as of now, I don't find it unique. It's still interesting though but not in a good way

The Game: 

The game is fun to play and it still is, but the issues are unforgivable. The gameplay is honestly annoying. I hate navigating back and forth through the new base just to interact with the various things like the generator and the servers. Although I still like its redesign and the fact they actually made it look like the base was supposed to have 2 or 3 people working at the station. But what really pisses me off is the dirt and trash, this place is supposed to be an abandoned research station and not a Dumpster so why the hell is there trash everywhere which gets in the way. The Base just doesn't look abandoned. The 2nd problem I have with this game is the newly added damage mechanic. I hate dying and losing hours of progress because I crashed into a tree or a car falling from the sky. Like seriously? At least we can turn it off but still, it's overkill and annoying.

The 3rd problem is the whole nightmare mechanic. It's cool to have a minigame while we skip through the day and recharge our stamina, but is it necessary to have it DRAIN your stamina if you fail? I hate wasting my time trying to recharge when the minigame just takes all the stamina that I recharged for. The 4th Problem is that there are more chores instead of any real horror and fun. Instead of adding new features that would make the game more engaging, the dev has added more chores for us to be stuck with instead of interacting with the map as a whole. This game has just become another Signal Simulator since it lacks any real content. It just seems like the dev is adding more pointless chores to make us think there are new contents added. The 5th Problem is the horror and it's pacing. The game does succeed in making you feel on edge and feel totally isolated, but there really is no horror? Beside the Wendigo and the Antibreather, most of the horror we get is random sounds to spook us (Such as random explosions and howling noises from the depth of hell). The Arirals are not scary at all and I am actually bothered by their entire existence in the game, even more knowing too much about them. The Razitol are cool and are scary, but they lose their scariness in the second playthrough. The game needs more horror, since it is a HORROR game after all. So it needs to drop the immature "funny" and the sexualized aliens and actually make the game more horror. The 6th Problem is the insert of characters that are out of place. That include the Arirals, they aren't scary and extremely out of place. And I honestly hate the arirals as I find their lore to be flat and they are just sexualized too much. Unless the dev actually make the Ariral be scary for a change, than I won't complain too much. The other characters that shouldn't be added is Maxwell, Argemwell and Erie. They are all out of place and shouldn't be added. They don't affect the game or the lore, except one who actually breaks the lore. Erie is a character that has been created in one of the earlier game made by MrDrNose called Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski. As far as I know, it's a Baldi inspired horror game. Erie is this very tall robot lady with a tv for a head who is the librarian in one of the level. And what I know about the game is that it's taken place in a backroom-like school dimension, which means that everyone are trap against their will. But for some reason in VotV, she is in the game as a skin for Kerfur as well as a statue and a few other reference about her. I find it bothersome to see them since it isn't really lore friendly, but the number one reason that it bothers me is the same reason with the Arirals, Erie is just as, maybe even more sexualized than the Arirals. From what I know, Erie is just a character built on MrDrNose's sexual interest. I'm fine if you have your own kink but MrDrNose has this unhealthy obsession with this character. And hearing from the older fans, Nose just carelessly insert her into everything, which is not good and I don't think I need to explain on why.

The Lore:

The lore that MrDrNose has created is pretty intriguing for what he crafted in his noggin. It's such a shame that he is more focused on the NSFW lore instead of actually building the characters, stories, species and world. This goes with the Ariral lore being flat and vague with most of it being more on the NSFW about them. This includes the other character, Erie. There are a lot of things that Nose has added about his characters but he never seems to be interested in building on them as a character. Erie has a long lost sister and used to be human, Vitkor's species is endangered from some kind of poison ivy plant, Tiara and Laura mysterious backstory. Seriously, these characters have a lot of depth into them but Nose never builds up on them to make them more flesh out. If you question some of the things about the characters to Nose, he would just say "idk lol" or "secret" which tells me Nose never thought about it and doesn't seem to be interested in building them. He is more interested in making NSFW things about them. People would want to know about Erie as a person, they don't want to know the taste of her 'tittie mouth' milk.

MrDrNose:

I honestly have nothing good to say about them. Not saying I hate him or something, I just don't know what positive things I can say about them. But, we can skip that and get to why I am talking about them. MrDrNose is immature, lazy, unprofessional and petty. This game is his only active project since he has abandoned all the other ones he has made. I never understand why the dev call out people asking for an update are called out as impatient and "entitled". Let us not forget that Nose earns 9.200 Dollars a month on Patreon, VotV is his only active project since the other games before it were completely abandoned along with the fans who supported it. All of the money we donate is going into this game. This game and the fanbase deserve monthly updates and a responsive developer adding real content and real updates that actually improve the gameplay and story. You do not take that much money without being held accountable. Nose never even gives proper status updates, let alone real updates. The current game is in a sorry state. Him and his team don't tackle any of the issues we have brought up and instead put in more chores, more funny alien sex and that's it. What is the point of donating to Nose? It seems like we're flushing money down the toilet since this game hasn't really improved and takes decades to even get an update. This game isn't big. It's very small and yet it takes this long for another update? I honestly feel like this game is a con to cash grab. It further backs up that feeling by the amount of other game projects that were abandoned without even being finished. Back to Advanced Education with Viktor Strobovski. This game had a decent fanbase supporting it and yet the game was left unfinished despite the amount of donations given. And after Viktor, VotV would be the next project. And the remaining fans of Viktor were actually treated poorly in the new community that Nose has made with VotV. To make this short, the old fans were being pushed out, given false hope that Viktor will get a remake, and when the old fans question and call out Nose abandoning them, Nose would threaten to remove Advanced Education off from itch. Who does that? And seeing how the "AEwVS Channels" were deleted. This truly make me think that nose will one day leave VotV unfinished and moved onto a new project with a new fanbase. It's not a coincidence that all the unfinished games were abandoned and it's fanbase being replaced with a new one.  

Onto another thing I have to bring up is the 'Eternitydev Exposed' document that was created. To anyone who doesn't know about it. Here is the short version. A group of old and new fans saw the hypocrisy and corruption within the server and its moderators and were also targeted and bullied by them. This led to them making a document calling them out and all the other wrong things they have done. Such as; some of the issues that I brought up but also how MrDrNose blatantly sexualized his characters in his server full of minors, Mods being lazy and incompetent when it come to enforcing the rules half the time, this include when a pedophile was exposed and the mods refused to take actions when there was evidences as well as friends of the victims coming forward to call out the person who sexually harassed their friends. The person who exposed the pedo believes it's because Nose is friends with them and has ERP with them. You can read the document to see for yourself. Because of Nose and his companions being exposed. This has resulted in a drama that has been going far too long, which "should have ended back in February this year", said the creator of the document. In that same month on itch there would be drama sparking up in the comments and people calling out nose because of it. Nose would respond to them trying to justify it. It wouldn't exactly go his way and people demanded him to set things right and speak with the creator of the document. Nose would agree to talking with the document creator and the drama would be over for the day. But the next day the drama would start again and nose would be caught lying about speaking to the creator and claiming he was being unreasonable. Because of this, Nose would change the comment format so he can delete any posts that even reference the drama. But thankfully the same document would add in screenshots of the conversation before they would be removed, as well as showing that MrDrNose never even reached out to them. Nose lying about speaking with the doc creator as well as silencing anyone who speaks out makes him look worse. A few months later, Nose would start hiding his discord account as well as deleting his Twitter NSFW Accounts that he had linked on his main Twitter account. This was because of the drama that was increasing. Despite the heat, he would call the doc creators and any one who supports him "Mentally ill" which shows how egotistical and immature he is. The lack of accountability and the audacity to label anyone who criticized him as mentally ill shows what kind of person he is. And the fact that people still support him and try to defend him is baffling, but what is more baffling is how nasty and malicious the people defending Nose are.

The Drama:

This drama is actually scary because of the amount of harassment I have gotten just because I choose to be on the Doc creator's side. I had my dm spammed with gore, I had to delete a few of my posts commenting on the drama because I would get attacked in the reply by one dude who would come back with an alt account right after blocking them. It's crazy how the community that are defending MrDrNose are taking it this far because they don't believe the "lies of the mentally ill kid". From what I saw from other people getting attacked because they weren't on MrDrNose side. One account was calling people slurs and another just stalked and attacked anyone who dared make a post supporting the document. Like if you see the replies, you would see that this guy dedicated his whole account to tracking down anyone who dares speak about MrDrNose in a negative way. And you know what is crazy? I have only seen this maliciousness from Nose's supporters. And Nose never even tried telling his supporters to not harass people. But he doesn't care since anyone who is against him is mentally ill to his eyes. In all seriousness, I am surprised this community is even alive? The Developer is a bad guy who won't take accountability and admit he's wrong, the community is full of gooners who will do anything to protect their precious developer. How did this cluster fuck of a mess continue to exist? The Game doesn't get real good updates, so why even stick around let alone donate your money to their patron? It's all a waste because Nose has gotten a lot of money from his donation and yet his games get no real updates once a year. Why are we even fighting this drama? Why can't we accept that this is who the developer is? Instead of harassing people over it and sending gore to others dm? I quit this game for a long time because I was seeing the flaws of its developer, and looking back I now realize that it is not just the Developer, but also the community as a whole. If I get banned by the mods, I will make another account to post it again to ensure more people can see this. I am done. Goodnight.
