Liminal Void

UPD. LMAO, again with this I'M AN ARTIST drama queen attitude, this is hilarious. No one was criticising this "art" — can you even read and comprehend English? Make your game functional at least before chimping out at paying customers. Original: I REALLY wanted to give this game a chance. But when you start messing with things like controls — this stops being a game and becomes a scam. I.e. I find it really strange that dev mentions how hardcore his game is in the introductory message, and then — specifically — something along the lines of "your mouse sensitivity is your problem"... and I immediately load into the level with absolutely unplayable mouse sensitivity, i.e it's like one million. And after I try to adjust it via the main menu — all controls just stop working. I'm not overly paranoid person, but this looks like some kinda sick sense of humor, especially considering the utterly deranged nature of the game.

This game hurts to look at. At first I was very drawn in by the aesthetics and the UI, but I immediately got a bad taste in my mouth when the first 10 minutes of the game is just figuring out the big controller based controls displayed do not work and then reading paragraphs of information about how to play the game instead of being given a proper tutorial as well as being told that if you have a problem, "it's a skill issue". I tried to play what I believe was the first layer only to be met with no real objective. None of the controls really did what I believe they were supposed to do based on what I'd just spent a long time reading, and the UI was completely unhelpful and distracting to the already difficult to look at environment. Again, I get that that's the point of the anesthetic they're going for, but I kind of wish that we had some useful stuff mixed in there with it all the mess. Additionally, do we really need the characters' full bio on display at all times? I also think the soul timer was out or something and I had this annoying repeated noise that I had no idea how to fix or where it was coming from, because again, despite all the reading, there was no clear direction. Do you even want to play your game or are you just trying to be really pretentious here? Like I Wan a support this and was really looking forward to such a unique experience, but this made me instantly regret that.

I wish I could give this a fair review, but it's EXTREMELY buggy. Changing the settings sometimes makes your movement lock up; you can see some effects and enemies through text boxes, including other text boxes, making them borderline illegible; The character's full bio floods the left side of the screen for some reason, and that's clearly not meant to happen because it's not in any of the screenshots; mouse sensitivity by default is too high... There's probably a perfectly good game here, and it's one I'd really like to play, but it's too buried in jank for me to reach it, so I ultimately can't recommend the game in its current state. I really hope it gets the QA it needs, because it seems rather charming.

fake quirky + ridiculously buggy gameplay

"i dont know what im doing" the game:

The game crashed mid run, uncrashed, then crashed for real. I think it's part of the experience really.

... AND SO SHE DIED, BEING MORE TRAPPED THEN FREE. Genuinely a really great game, I love the atmosphere and just how everything plays and the story from what i understand. Only issue i have is the visibility when playing as different souls, and the UI being somewhat hard to read. Aside from that, a really good game with a strong sense of style.

гнить заживо обидно

I have no idea what I just played. I could barely see anything. I died immediately in what I think was a tutorial area and got all the speedrun achievements. I eventually beat it. I think. I am so confused.

Firstly I want to start by saying I'd give this review a mixed if I could, This game is just beyond beautiful, it is very well artistically crafted. I love the heavy metal graphics, I love the music (actually fire btw), I love the dialogue and the characters. It is unlike anything else I have played on the market currently, though you can see inspiration it doesn't feel like a straight rip-off. If this game were not created by a small team (I'm pretty sure its literally 1 person right) it could be absolutely on par with the well-known indie games. Unfortunately the game is tainted by its bugs, the achievements basically do not work even when it said I got them on the screen I didn't get them, I got spam achievements for things I never did, which to be honest I thought was a part of the edgy joke vibes to the game so I guess you could leave that as is. The soul grabbing just does not work sometimes I have no idea what I am doing wrong, I play the game as directed and it doesn't work, but again I really enjoyed this myself because it is so nonsensical.. But on a wider audience this just does not work. The codex and lore parts of the game are totally in shambles I have no idea what is happening there either. The concept of this "shooter" not sure if I'd call it that is absolutely so amazing, again I really do believe in this game's potential and love it so so dearly but the execution at times is so poor for a paid game One last thing I want to mention that did kind of catch me the wrong way is the feature of the bad reviews on a lot of floors, this is not really a complaint related to gameplay but it did kind of feel like a child throwing a tantrum. I have heard rather mixed comments about the dev and their response to criticism, I hope you do not take mine in such a way and rather as someone who supports your work and really wants to see you succeed and achieve your dream making these games. Despite my small complaints and this being a mixed review I have left it as positive because I love it so much, genuinely I really do and wish the dev the best, I've bought all of their games and all are equally as enjoyable. As my support for the dev if you get this far into my review and you want to try the game, add me and message me, I'll buy you a copy to play :P
