Too hard. Can't find the scientists.

this is a fun game, the only problem i have is getting lost in the maze not knowing where you are in it but i like this game a lot, i also wish the game would remember where you left off at so you do not have to state from the beginning ever time.

I had to give this one a second playthrough because the first time I was playing this on an outdated PC. My experience this time was a lot more enjoyable. I chose to take my time and explore a little more with this one. Overall, I genuinely enjoyed this game. What I liked: -The VHS visuals provide a very real experience making me feel like I was literally in the back rooms. I felt a hint of nostalgia too. -I found the storyline following Dr. Andersen's rescue mission to be very compelling. The lost connection of the radio forcing him to work his way through the other levels provided a more edgy, eerie experience. -The game is entity-free, giving the player more freedom to explore instead of looking over their shoulder every 5 seconds. What I recommend for improvement: -I think players would appreciate a pause menu as well as a checkpoint/save system in case the game can't be completed in one sitting. An option/settings tab should be implemented as well. -It feels like the game was a little too consistent on the front rooms (yellow rooms). Yes, you also include the office rooms, the mall, and the poolrooms. However, I would like to see other levels such as the partyrooms and level "The End". -The beginning feels a bit 'to-the-point' of you will. I recommend an opening cutscene and some context to add more thrill and edginess. Now regarding your January announcement... This game is NOT garbage. You need to give yourself more credit for what you already have. Even though life got in the way and made it harder to maintain, most of the reviews for this game were positive. Not bad for a first game. I'm glad you chose to rewrite the game and am looking forward to exploring this new version you're cooking up! Keep up the good work! You've got this!
