Good Night Pan Pan

I have a potato. but my potato can still run games crazier than this. on lowest settings this crashes on new game start with a low level fatal error. judging by a dev response to a similar negative review and comment, there's a way to hack it via steam folders so it works (that someone else found). i am not going to do that. i know this might sound ridiculous and insane, but i feel like it should just work if you're charging people money for it. weird, i know.

The third of Suzaku Games' Sense(s) games, even if it doesn't have it in the title. For a game that was made in 90 days, it's fairly solid, even if it does have it's fair share of jank and bugs, like Pan Pan (the monster) blocking me inside of a long hallway that I was forced to reload the save to get out of, as well as me getting stuck inside of a door which ALSO caused me a quick reload. I think my only REAL criticism would be the mall was a little awkward to traverse at times, since it was pretty easy to get lost, but I'd argue that's more me having a God awful memory than PURELY the dev. Regardless of this, I really did enjoy myself with this game despite it's issues, and I look forward to what he has planned for Pan Pan 2, which unless it gets delayed, is slated for release in about a month or so after this review was made. Two things I will say for anyone that plans on playing this game: If you are hit by the "Out of memory" bug when booting up the game, add -force dx11 to the launch options of the game. Unfortunately it seems the dev was unable to fix this bug (largely due to this being a bit of a rush job since it was originally intended as a game jam project.) but there is at least this fix that exists. Additionally, while it MAY seem like the game is frozen, it just takes a bit of time to boot up properly, which I'm imagining is just your usual UE5 jank cause Hachishaku also has a similar issue. And secondly, when you get towards the end of the game and a certain door is opened, if you die and are unable to interact with the bucket in the room with the brush, drop the brush and pick it back up, and the prompt should appear. This happened to me and was worried I'd have to replay through the entire game again because of it, but this worked out for me. If this doesn't work by itself, I quit the game and reloaded the save then did it, so hopefully it'll help you out if you get into this situation.
