I am sorry that this prototype shows only the aspect of an asset bought on the Unity Store. As my other prototypes I am using already-made assets to create few minutes of gameplay, based for example on the last game I played, or a short part of a movie etc. not for money but because I like video games.
I also would remind to the developers of Itchio (because I am noticing that these critics are coming mainly from developers) that "game design" is part of game development (not just who creates "content" (artist) and "scripting" (programmer)), and elements as game progression, pacing and general atmosphere are important parts of a game that needs lots of iteration.
Only got a very short taste of the demo, didn't take me that long to finish though props to the graphics and atmosphere in the game.
Would be nice to have a couple of video settings so we can change the quality easier (getting a couple of frame issues even though I have a strong GPU) but all in all, it has potential!
This was a really fun game! I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere,the sounds and music made it more immersive and I got spooked a couple of times! can't wait to see what the full game will have for us. Keep up the amazing work!
game hgad good sound but overall experience was ruined byt poor memory allocation, and no matter what resolution or lowering the graphics, the game went to lag hell.
Some decent ideas but too many default or stock assets that I've seen in so many other games that it breaks any immersion I could have had. With some changes I could see it being well received.
It is a prototype so I used standard assets, I tried to not choose assets already saw in other prototypes but I couldn't avoid for others. Thanks for playing! ;)
Heyo! I'll drop my video here as well. The atmosphere of the game was really great, and had apprehension high the entire time, but the scares themselves probably wouldn't scare many veterans. Good demo though!
aesthetically looks very nice, but there wasn't much story to go by so i didnt quite get it ^_^! i do look forward to what you add on later on, its got lots of potential! keep up the goo work amigo! (Spanish play-through)
I've mentioned on Twitter to write a full review on this game, so here we go..
First of all, I've read you've used a kit to create this game and some people have made some comments on that. I don't mind this, that's what the kit is for, after all. As a player, we don't know what you did get from the kit, what you changed, what you created yourself etc. so I think it should be kept in the middle as long as the end product is good.
--------------------------
Now, on to the game itself: I think the basics for a horror game are there. Good location, layout looks nice and the 'story'so far could turn in something interesting.
It reminds me of games such as Resident Evil 7 with the old house, and movies like the ring, due to the old photographs, the TV etc. Which I liked.
--------------------------
A couple of things that I did notice on my playthrough, however..(note, as the game is in early development,this is not criticism, just feedback).
1: The light/brightness.I found the game to be rather bright at times, especially in the bathroom. The latter even got so bright it hurt my eyes at times.I also saw some light orbs flying underneath the hanging lamps if looked at in a certain angle.The was also a weird light coming from underneath the bed, which was odd.
2: Objects that had an issue. The first one was the rocking outside on the porch. It was moving back too far, making the bottom part of the chair disappear in the flooring. The rocking chair with the man in it, when you leave the bedroom moved sideways instead of back and forth. Some of the magazines laying around the house also had some issues. When turned around, the backs of some of them were transparent, as if you weren't holding anything.
3: Doors. The doors had some issues when opened. I'm not sure about all of them, as I noticed it quite late. The one you're supposed to open with the key, it was kind of 'floating' there. It was not connected to the frame.
4: Movement.I think the character walks a bit too slow. Maybe a fast walk button could be added. Also, the player often just 'walks' over certain objects which made gameplay a bit silly at times. I also got stuck once at the door you open with the key. It opened and I got stuck between the door and the wall, could not move and had to restart.
5: Reflections. Some objects on walls reflected too much or too little. An example, the mirror in the bedroom reflected the entire room whilst the lights were out, as was my flashlight. Another example was the clock in the room with the staircase. I could only see it was a clock when I had my flashlight aimed at it, before, I had no idea what it was, as it was a circle with an odd reflection on the wall. The mirrors throughout the game also do not reflect the player, and the TV in the living room does not match it's mirror reflection either.
6: Menu. Even though it's an early version, I think it needs a menu to begin with. Maybe add the option to change keybindings (people who don't know how to switch between QWERTY and AZERTY won't be able to move like it's mean to) as well as a gamma to increase/decrease brightness etc.
--------------------------
I hope this review was helpful. Again, I want to say that it's no criticism as the game is in early development. Just some things I've noticed.
Like you know, I also created a video on my experience. There you can see the issues mentioned above as I encounter them.
I am glad that you agree that at the end the important thing is the game, regardless of kit/engine/framework is used.
I admit that the bathroom light was tuned not correctly, originally it supposed to have the light switch off/on. I changed the rotator script (used for wheelchair for example) at the last, it broke a lot of things that I tuned with "random" bugs.
This game is pretty good! it's so pretty to look at and some of them spooks down right got me! there is an issue with movement though. You kind of tend to drift around (especially when heading right and left). Also the size of the hitboxes is a little too small. But I can see potential there! Anyway, I look forward to seeing a full game!
Thank you for playing the demo. I mainly released it to get a general feedback from the user of itchio. I saw that you play games like Silent Hill, Outlast and Resident Evil, of course I don't prentend to be compared with them using a prototype made in 16 hours, I have to make comprimises as originality and I am aware of that :)
And yes, as I added in the Credits, I am using "Horror Kit System" by ThunderWire Studio and I am not ashamed to use it (so I put the paper thanks in the demo). Or should we say that any game made in RPG Maker are not deserved to be released? ;)
RPGMaker is an engine? Not an asset Kit. I'm not saying you should be ashamed for using assets, however. When the entire game is made using a kit. It losing all originality from the start, because none of it is your original content in the first place. I'm glad you're getting feedback. But if you listen to anything i say. Learn blender. You have a TON of potential and i can definitely see that. I just think if you're going to try and make a game such as this. Consider making your own assets, Textures, Scripts, etc. I'll definitely be checking back and seeing how you progress as a developer. Keep striving for the stars my friend! It's nothing personal, it's just the gaming industry and it's a rough market.

So what part of this is your content + scripting?
This entire game is just an asset? You didn't even change anything?

Good work!
Hi Rycopene, thank you for the feedbacks! Yes, I should have added a menu with the graphics settings :(
Found a couple bugs along my play through but I think you've got some potential for atmosphere and layout design.
I am happy that you appreciated the demo even with the bugs :) Thank you for playing!
This was a really fun game! I really enjoyed the overall atmosphere,the sounds and music made it more immersive and I got spooked a couple of times! can't wait to see what the full game will have for us. Keep up the amazing work!
Thank you, I am glad that the scary moments worked! :D
ooooh looks good!!
This was a really lovely looking game. Sounds and music were also extremely well done. Hopefully there is a lot more to come. Well done... :)
Thank you Kevx, I hope to continue this project as soon as possible :)
Wow, this looks great. It have some RE7 vibes, which is one of my favorite horror games. Good job! :)
I loved RE7, thank you for the feedback! :D

Great visuals for a small game. Tried it myself. Check it out :)
Thank you Stephano for the video! :)
game hgad good sound but overall experience was ruined byt poor memory allocation, and no matter what resolution or lowering the graphics, the game went to lag hell.
Sorry ShiroTheSorrow, I lacked time for optimize the game, the minimum requirements were quite high for that reason.
Anyway thank you for having patience playing the game :)
no problem but when you get time, get the optimizations done, itll give you more positive feedback, keep up the good work
Wow that got me bad! Great graphics too! (playthrough in polish language)
Greatings to Poland! Thanks for playing! :)
Gave the game a try!
Thanks for the video :)
nice game, scared but more laugh xD walking was abit slow tho, nice work ! thanks for sharing!
Thank you for the video! Yes, I had to move faster the character walk :)
i have not been able to play any games lately, but glad i picked this one to play.
Thank you binge, too kind :)
Will you conform? Welcome to the cabin in the woods, where nothing bad ever happens! Except broken t.v.'s and weird magazines!
Ahah thanks for the video! And thanks for noticing bugs and LOD issues :P
Thank you for making it! Graphically it’s beautiful. Can’t wait for more!
Thanks! I sacrificed the story but I took care of the atmosphere (visual compisition and ambience sound for example).
Some decent ideas but too many default or stock assets that I've seen in so many other games that it breaks any immersion I could have had. With some changes I could see it being well received.
It is a prototype so I used standard assets, I tried to not choose assets already saw in other prototypes but I couldn't avoid for others. Thanks for playing! ;)
Heyo! I'll drop my video here as well. The atmosphere of the game was really great, and had apprehension high the entire time, but the scares themselves probably wouldn't scare many veterans. Good demo though!
I agree about the veterans, for a really scarry moment I had to dedicate more time on the design.
Thank you for the video!
Short and great, crapped my pants a few times...
aesthetically looks very nice, but there wasn't much story to go by so i didnt quite get it ^_^! i do look forward to what you add on later on, its got lots of potential! keep up the goo work amigo! (Spanish play-through)
I had to cut the story, as playtesting is one of the things that takes most of the time in development!
Thank you for playing!
Certainly an interesting game, can't wait for more!
Thank you! :)
Thank you for the experience! Feel free to use my content. I can't wait for the full game and your future projects! Good luck!
Thanks! ;)
That was pretty fun. I like simple games like these.
Thanks for playing! :D
This was a lot of fun! Looking forward to playing the full version!
Thanks! :D
Bro Get your grandma...
Thanks for the video!
i havent tried it yet but its looks fun to play!

Ouch, I didn't notice the drifting :O
Thank you for the feedback!
Played this for a 3 free indie horrors, and was pretty disappointed
. I give a full in depth review at the end of my video
