Feed The Pit

I saw Markiplier play this game and couldn't help but buy it myself. It's an amazing game. I've completed the first Act, and I'm really looking forward to seeing the remaining chapters. I had a lot of fun optimizing my card usage. The monsters were mostly fun to deal with. I just wish some of their sound cues were a little more noticeable when they're behind you [spoiler] (Flesh Thief in particular. Spriggan and Little Rabbit are fine, I think) [/spoiler]. The chase after you find your target is also very satisfying. It's great that you can locate them either by sound or by following their footprints, even if they manage to run far away. Though I do hope that trees won't be the only hiding spots targets use in future updates. I also enjoyed the jokes and visual gags. They felt like a nice touch, and I appreciate all the little details you guys put effort into. My only complaint here is the moment before the first mission, where the game won't progress until you change the radio station. I understand that it's the only clickable object around and that it's a setup for a joke, but since I was enjoying the rock music, for a minute I genuinely thought I had softlocked the game. It feels a little weird to make changing the station mandatory just to progress. As for the story, I'm a big fan of the premise, but as it gets more convoluted, I can only hope that some of the things currently confusing me will be answered in later acts. [spoiler] One of my main concerns so far, however, is Caroline's reaction to some of the story's events or rather, her lack of one. As players, we're given plenty of reasons to question the Church, with some fairly explicit warnings that the Breach is going to end horribly and that the Pit itself doesn't want it to happen. Because of that, Caroline's hesitation in some dialogue feels strange to me. To be clear, my issue isn’t simply that Caroline hasn’t realized that a cult sacrificing people is bad. It’s that she has received a supernatural warning that continuing to obey Father will end horribly for everyone. If Caroline memories return and provide even more facts to question the head of the Church, some of the previous options expressing complete trust in it feel a little pointless. This may make much more sense once acts 2 and 3 come out. But for now, though, some of her dialogue options feel oddly passive compared to the importance of the information I assume she has.
