She's Leaving

Overall, it was an excellent game. The beginning was great, though I did feel like I was going around in literal circles for over two hours while trying to find blood splatters on the first floor. After getting past that part, the pacing picked up significantly, and I finished the game sooner than expected. However, the ending felt a bit anticlimactic. [Spoiler] I wish the confrontation with the 'Lightkeeper' had been given more weight. [/Spoiler] The music left the biggest impression on me. In fact, the music was what originally drew me to the game after I saw the trailer.

A lot more people should play this!

a good game.,

ON hyvä tuote!

[u][b]Progress:[/b][/u] main game completed, 15/17 achievements. Fantastic, short game. I would have loved the forensics part to be a bit more blown out, as the game is primarily cat and mouse, but overall I had a great time. Here are some highlights: [list] [*]Weirdly I can say that the act of equipping, aiming, and using ultra violet light with the taser is really crisp. It feels and sounds great. [*]Big fan of a stalker-type game that not only gives you limited tools to deal with the stalker, but also a difficulty option that removes them entirely if you want to remove that element and experience just the story. [*]The atmosphere is great. Creepy hotel with tons of tight corners means you'll never feel quite safe and wonder where the stalker's murmurings are truly coming from. [*]This one is mixed and I get why. I love that I can get items ahead of time for later objectives, like fuses for the elevator, but it's a bizarre choice to let the player wander the village without being able to gather the cogs ahead of time. I get it: the character doesn't have a reason to gather the cogs, even though I did happen to wander around there and find both, but then why could I gather the fuses ahead of time? [*]The forensics part is pretty cool: find blood splatters, then identify them correctly or risk a movement penalty for brain fog. It's a shame that it's segmented to 6 splatters for the first chapter and that's it. [/list] I would love to see a sequel from this team with the same ideas, just blown out to a bigger experience. I hope this gets more attention at some point.

The moment I saw this screenshot with revealing blood stains with a UV flashlight - I was immidiately hooked The game looks pretty, outside environments seem to be inspired by the village section from RE:Village The game is distinctly atmospheric, sound design lets you feel like you're in a close environment I liked a presense of puzzles but I think they could be harder - most of the times you don't need to think to solve them I liked the interactions between characters and even giggled once I liked the mechanics with UV flashlight, but unfortunately the latter half of the game completely lacked any interactions with it which is a wasted opportunity in my opinion. I can imagine some unique interactions with it: draw arrowheads in a room with manequiens pointing to the hidden ones, make a map in an electronics room with fuse locations visible only with UV while the room being fully lit thus not making this discovery obvious, there could be a moment where we would need to flash a mirror with UV to reveal something by reflecting light, etc. Generally Im glad that Ive played this and Im looking forward to play future games from these guys!

Krótka, ale całkiem fajna!
