The Proponent

https://youtu.be/z5uBNehc0PY https://rumble.com/v2t78ou-the-proponent-gameplay-indie-horror-part-1.html I managed to get stuck on this game and I don't know if I'm missing something or it's just a problem with the game somewhere. Maybe the dev can answer? The graphics and atmosphere are not bad in this game. The story might be good too. The problems that I have with it are the low brightness areas (you lack a flashlight, but you can use your weapon's flashlight. The bad part about it is that you can't move it up or down.), the sounds seem a bit weird/cheap and the price is somewhat strange too.

BUYERS' BEWARE. The game has EXTREME levels of jank (although it's quite normal for the genre). It's (to a regular person) barely playable, movements are slow, the motion blur is nauseating, etc. You'd also think there's inventory management, but there ain't any. Getting that out of the way, I think it has amazingly well though-out underlying moments, design choices, and aesthetics. Getting stuck on a puzzle and then having to Alt+F4 the game (the menu bugged out), I watched the walkthrough, and it was pretty enjoyable and charming. If most of the indie horror games are shovelware, this one had the potential to be actually amazing, having coherent imagery and nice homages to the gaming classics. I really hope that we'll see more of this, with proper polish. P.S. The sounds are actually quite well-made. Throat-singing moments are fun as hell.

I really like the game. Nice graphics, nice atmosphere, very unique and abstract story. There are many small hidden features and everything is worked out in detail and differs from other games. Finding all the keys is challenging because some of them are small and in dark corners. But you can play through the game. Unfortunately there are still a few minor bugs. The worst bug is probably when you get stuck in the elevator and then only a restart helps. As far as I can find out there are 3 endings. I would have liked 2 endings to be more different. The one where you find all the pieces of the necklace and the one where you don't. Maybe I just didn't figure that out? All in all still a great horror game. I can recommend that.

This is a beautiful game with impressive atmosphere and lots of myphological allusions. It is a gloomy story built on details and suspence. I enjoyed the slow thrilling gameplay recognizing the familiar details of old dark apartment blocks and the nightmares they provoke. There are not many screamers, which is good for me. I recommend this game to those who love out of the box thinking and original indie games.

the atmosphere of the game is great, super cool to look at. There are a lot of small issues with the game though that really add up and hurt the overall experience. If you do certain tasks in the wrong order before you receive specific dialog, you just cannot continue the game you have to close the game and restart. the cursor appears and goes away at random times so you will sometimes be stuck looking at an item and can't get out of the examining screen unless you click the menu and make the cursor come back?? sometimes when you click to examine an item, the examine icon will just stick on your screen as you walk around afterwards. I think this game has a cool concept but it ruins its own immersion when you have random icons persisting on your screen constantly and its own game play stops working when you do things in the wrong order. I think with some minor fixes to make sure these stop happening, the game will vastly improve.
