Hanefield Asylum

Double Update(what!?): I was able to successfully play through the entire game. I had fun. :) It was challenging and eerie which are things that I always like my games to be. The mechanics were easy to pick up once I understood them a little better and I thought the ending was pretty good. I look forward to seeing future projects from this Dev. Well done! *********** Update: Holy potatoes! The Dev was very kind to read this and check out what I mentioned. That gets an automatic up thumb from me. I will rewrite this review once I take another delicious bite out of this morsel. Take my grouchy review below with a grain of salt until then. <3 *********** Yikes. This game needs to be fixed. The AI should not be able to one shot me with a melee attack from the end of a 50ft hallway. There is no save feature, so if you quit, you end up having to start over. Pretty much everything is a broken mess. The graphics are mostly clean, but janky with small tears or jiggles. Everything is so shiny on the inside of this dirty asylum that it looks like the walls and floors are all soaking wet. One of the lamps in the hallways hangs down so low that you have to walk all the way around it to get by, otherwise you get stuck. Interacting with objects is glitchy as well. At one point you need to find a 'light source' which is sitting on an examining table in one of the hospital rooms. This is directly across from the door, so trying to pick it up just opens and closes the door repeatedly. I have no idea how that is happening. In the end, the game seemed to have potential, but was ultimately unplayable. Fingers crossed that this isn't an indie dev cash grab and they release a patch for this game. As it is, do not buy this game. Sorry, friends.
