Man, I knew the Caretaker vibe when I heard it! The aesthetic is there, the story is interesting, and while I agree that there were some issue with the pacing, I truly enjoyed my time playing this game! Keep up the good work!
Very fun story fella! If I had to criticize anything, it would be that some of the walking segments took a bit too long, albeit I know the intention was to build up, well, tension lol
Was a bit surprised at the characters that showed up at the very end, a tad funny, but I enjoyed it. Good work, and good voice actors as well
We reviewed your game and posted our results today!
From our reviewer: "Is The Final Pin worth your time? The answer is yes if you have about 1-2 hours to spare. The Final Pin has a lot of style and an intriguing narrative. If you want a film noir-themed whodunit story where you do not need to solve the crime, just experience the atmosphere and the world such a tale has to offer, this game is worth checking out."
I understand my review is late to the party, but I really want to offer constructive criticism. I genuinely love your art style, but I feel like the pacing mechanics and interactions are better suited for games that are 5-30 minutes that need padding, either to help with suspense (doing the same thing only for it to be different like the third or fourth time) or to literally just give the player something to do. This game started out strong, but by the hour mark I was already so tired from driving back to the house, walking through the doors, holding e on things more than once. The pacing was just so slow, it lost me after the third or fourth case, but I stuck with it after I realized how much time I had invested in it already. I also really don't think you needed to have the interrogation scene at the end to recap the story, I thought you did a great job with how the scene with Kevin had already played out.
I'm sorry, I really don't want to be mean and I appreciate your work and effort so much, I just hope you take some of these things into consideration if you decide to make a lengthier game again because this had so much potential <3
This was super helpful! Im currently working on my latest game and comments like this really help me keep an eye out for issues like that while im working on the next project.
this games story was great , guessing the possible killer to what may happen next i was locked in for start to finish i have one of your other cued up in my nexyt recording sessions.
I cannot express how much i enjoyed this game, but for this guy to make another game that had me at the edge of my seat from start to finish, is seriously an accomplishment. You did really well with both the gameplay and the story development. I overall really enjoyed it, i'll be playing any games you release in the future! 5/5 stars
I found a glitch in the traylor park mission. so basiclly the trailer where you find the letter I did not see that in the first time I went there so I left. I later came back to the building and found it but I was not able to get to the trailer across. I have seen a full game video to see where to go and it was the exact one. I was not able to open it. So I could not complete it
VERY VERY WELL PUT TOGETHER! the nosey lady in the apartments voice had me cracking tf up! heres my comedic edited full gameplay! i enjoyed the game 11/10 bruh!
The storyline is amazing! I like that the antagonist is connected to the protagonist's backstory. The gameplay is also amazing from the sewer to the sea, y'all made a great game. Keep it up!!
beautiful game idk how tho i called it was the son before i got to the end. lol overall amazing keep doing what you do man dont let anyone tell you otherwise
This game is really amazing and i enjoyed every single part of it, amazing storyline and case solving. The only issue i had with is copyrighted songs when i uploaded to my yt channel. About the voice acting we can not expect much from an indie game, this for me was an amazing addition and hard work. Well done JordiBoi i love your games.
Out of all the games you've made, this is by far the worst. Development was rushed, and you can tell by the voice acting. I loved Broken Through and The Shopping List, but unfortunately this game really dropped the ball.
Some YouTube gamers who beat the game are far older than that (even parents) and still didn't get THE ENDING, which by the way IS PHENOMENAL. What a rollercoaster ride of an ending.
Plot-wise another great thing is the title chosen for the game. I love it.
There was one thing though about the plot that I didn't like, but I'm not gonna be the one to spoil anything.
I love these games that are comical in certain aspects (like the PS1 presentation or how some characters are portrayed) yet quite mature in the plot and vibe departments.
I played this while my friend watched, and WOW. Overall, such an amazing game, and the ending brought me to tears. I can't wait for you to come out with more games and content you're an amazing developer and this was an amazing experience. I loved the story and was very curious the whole time about everything. I would definitely play it again. I loved this game.
Really good game with an astonishing mood. It reminds me of my old PS1 and some games like ResidentEvil (the first). The main aesthetic is gorgeous. I really like the work on the background sounds. However I have some bugs especially when I am in the water with the corpse. I had some difficulty coming to the surface. Also I found the crowbar, but I cannot open the next door with it. Overall a really good experience. What is the engine under this development?
I thought this was going to be a jumpy scare type of game but I was glad it wasn't, as it might have ruined the atmosphere of this superb game. I really liked how it wasn't overly difficult to complete but just enough thought provoking and puzzle solving.
tu juego me fascino , fue muy interesante , tiene una historia increible y un final espectacular , me lleno de emociones tristeza enojo y alg ode amor , muchas de las emociones que tu protagonista tenia pronto probare mas de tus juegos <3 saludos desde buenos aires

Fun twists there at the end. Can't wait to see what you come up next! Take care!

You use unity or unreal engine ?

WOW... this game!
10/10. Suspenseful, atmospheric, and full of dread. This was PERFECTLY done.
16 years old ?! I can't believe it.
