Just spent 1 hour playing this masterpiece! Pure excellence, ingenious design and fantastic story, yet, it comes with a flaw - the ending.
When I started the game, the mundane/routine mechanic for me was nothing surprising, considering that this particular story involves a serial killer and a small town, filled with different, unique characters - nothing special, which I have not played from "Puppet Combo" or "Chilla's Art" games, yet, the purity and excitement I got was from the second half of the game, when things start to get tense and you, as a player have to actually, practically survive until the day ends.
What I loved about this game was 3 major things: sound design, pacing and mechanics. I loved, loved the visual representation for the game, but it can be beaten by the immersive sound effects, music and ambience, which took me away from reality, not to say, I enjoyed chatting with AI, even with Jake, who, I won't spoil for anyone, who might be reading this, was a good guy overall. Pacing took a huge twist in the second act of the game, when I was constantly unsettled by the feeling that somebody was after me. Going from one store to the other, I actually looked behind me in the game to see if anyone was chasing or stalking me and that's the strongest part of the game. As I said, mechanics were not something new, although for UE project, my PC handled everything well and I was filled with joy that I got to play this.
Now, the major miss with the game was the story, specifically the end. That's purely subjective, of course. Some players might find the twist ending and the character of (spoiler) interesting. I faced similar problems in my life, like the main protagonist and I could feel their emotions, yet, the third act was the weakest and even thou, some might argue that it made sense, for me, the game missed its grand finale.
I deeply fell in love with this game, I really think this is the best horror/adventure experience of 2022, so far and can't wait to see more from you, Developer(s). Great work, bravo.
Edit: I tried to record the game, but I had some issues on my end, so I do apologize about that.
