The True Tales of Bloodstreet 13 - Chapter 1

%60

"True Tales of Bloodstreet 13: Chapter 1" — атмосферный хоррор с захватывающим сюжетом, наполненным загадками и мрачной атмосферой. Графика качественная, но не шедевр. Игра предлагает уникальные механики исследования и головоломки, однако повторяющийся геймплей и короткая кампания могут разочаровать. Звуковое сопровождение усиливает напряжение. Рекомендую тем, кто ценит атмосферные истории и готов проходить через сложности.

I like this, have to revisit continuously to explore and expand the story. Sadly it seems there is and will not be a chapter 2 to continue and end the story.

ok

The story is very interesting! The 2D characters with the 3D environment is clearly inspired by Hotel Dusk, a game I played multiple times and which holds a special place in my heart. Very well done!! Maybe, just like in Hotel Dusk, there could be subtle animations from time to time (like when someone gets angry so they lean in, or surprised so their eyes widen and they lean back a bit! It gives the characters a little more personality and pizzazz) The controls were weird at first, but I could adjust to them very quickly so that wasn't an issue! The voice acting is cool, I enjoyed it a lot. Especially the voice of the narrator/detective! However, with the positives, there are also some points that I think need adjustment. I'll try to give my best feedback from completing the chapter. The first thing I noticed was the difficulty of trying to avoid the red dots and touch the blue dots when Veronique gets a panic attack. At first I just kept moving my mouse, but that made me touch more of the red dots. I quickly learned that it was easier to just keep still, but sometimes a red dot spawned right on my cursor. I feel like this part could use a bit more attention gameplay wise. A very important point is the following; the part where you play as Bill trying to walk over the ledge was cool, but felt misplaced. I tried it 3 times, and only after Bill died the third time I noticed that his fall was scripted. I think this could be a cool part in the gameplay, but I don't think that this is the right placement for it. It led me to believe that I HAD to be able to cross the ledge, but it just didn't work because I was doing something wrong. Turns out, there is just no way of Bill crossing that ledge without falling. The background sounds also were about as loud as the voice acting, so I had to concentrate on what the characters were saying. I tried to look for an option for either subtitles or to turn down the background sounds, but there were none. At one point, about half an hour into the game, I didn't really know what to do. I got stuck because Bill fell to his death, and I kept replaying the chapters of Veronique and Hannah trying to find out what I did wrong or how to continue from this point by trying all the combinations of dialogue options with both characters. I felt like I was stuck in this "loop" for longer than needed. I had to figure out that when the picture of a character turns green, their part of the story is complete and there is no need to replay it. However, what I first thought was that I was on to something when the picture turned green. This led to me to somehow accidentally having to start over because I replayed a green chapter, and made a different choice which "erased" the death and Hannah's chapter. I was able to put 2 and 2 together after this, and figured out that a character's story isn't yet completed when their picture is red or has no color, and that there's no need for a replay when a character's picture is green. I don't think the changes of color need fixing, but a tip or explanation for why it happens and what it means could be useful. All in all, I am very interested and I truly hope you will find a publisher so we can enjoy more chapters of Bloodstreet 13!
