Serene Asylum

I attempted to play this 3 times, altering settings, restarting, etc. The swipe card in the very beginning kept disappearing and the lag was horrible. Too bad. I was looking forward to it.

I have to be honest, this isn't a particularly good game to me. I fully understand that this is a solo dev project and game dev is very complex and challenging, especially 3D game dev; on paper, it's an alright game, an exploration through an asylum, overrun by a cult, and you have to escape it by solving puzzles. A tried and true premise that works pretty well But it's clear that this game needs more time in the oven, as there are many problems with the game. Objectives tend to not be particularly clear and it's a bit easy to soft lock yourself if you're not careful. Worse yet, there are serious technical issues, such as looking up or down seems to rotate your character and prevent them from moving at all, and it's VERY easy to clip yourself on objects. Plus, the game is missing A LOT of things that really should be in games like this, like a pause menu for options and returning to the main menu... why does this not have a pause or options menu? At least the game is free, so I'm not really "upset" about it, but this game needs more work... in the current state, I would not recommend anyone playing this
