Dark Threads

• The graphics are average. Some sizes of objects feel off. • The soundtrack is also average, nothing special, but nothing bad. • The game itself is just a walking simulator with looking at items. If you like this or not is your personal preference. Story-wise I think this game could become pretty good, especially if you like some near-future AI stuff, there's even a real actor for storytelling, I don't know his name. But what keeps me from playing at the moment are the controls. They are so f.cking sh.tty. Walking is ultra slow and for some reason you're as double as fast if you strafe sidewards. Also you can not turn smoothly into the direction you're strafing, it just feels horribly clunky and bad. Same for the interaction with objects. Gripping is pretty bad and you often need several trys to grab an object. Very often when I grabbed an object, I glitched around in the room or moved with ultrafast speed, I mean, really, wtf, did nobody experience or care about this when playtesting your game? For the price I will keep the game for a few more days and hope for some patches that REALLY improve the controls. Otherwise I will refund it. Even if a game is cheap, I'm not willing to pay for it as long as fundamental functions like a good or at least OK'ish movement is guaranteed. I don't think that this is so hard to code. I will still give this game a thumbs up for now, to not harm the Developers, because I hope for a patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Edit: I checked this game a few months later and literally nothing has changed eventhough the Devs messaged me that they have a patch running which adresses the technical issues. So I guess this was just hot air, compressed to letters here. Fu.ck it. I don't recommend this game, even for its low price.
