Wittengrad is no more

Actually very moody and slightly philosophical walking-sim with oppressive settings to it, about ~60 minutes, transferring the victims of a rotten city across the river, I assume we play the game as the Grim and as one of the characters, different perspectives that is. It's mostly a linear walking simulator, with a few stealth or chasing sections, they are pretty easy though, so you can treat it like a narrative game. Unfortunately the game uses some AI textures and you didn't elaborate on that, also you didn't mention the promotional material, what about that classroom image? Maybe from your perspective it saves you on some difficult work, but in my experience observing AI games, you will lose 75% of the player base using AI anything, so if you are doing original modeling, it may not be worth putting the stain on your good work, especially since you doing a good job with the themes and the settings. Wittengrad seems to be a pretty crappy place, like a decaying city where everyone is trying to get what they can, and for the most part it seems everyone is happy to **** off from there, [spoiler] well, assuming they didn't burn alive, which they probably have. [/spoiler] I thought the uncanny models looked very cool, it has that surreal and expressionism(?) quality to it, although again, I wish you just didn't use AI textures so I could see what you actually doing. I think with horror games you can get away with a lot of low-res textures, is it really that hard to make something original. [h1]Pros: [/h1] (+) There is not a a lot to the game, but I think you handled the design of the characters, and the foreboding feel of rotten city very well, I thought the game was moody and it was enjoyable to navigate (the use of scene transitions actually reminded me of Half-life 2 a bit) (+) The dialogue was interesting to read, I felt the game had some interesting perspectives and some playful interactions [h1]Feedback: [/h1] [u]Random things:[/u] - the interaction on the "paddle?" was easy to miss, maybe make it glow a bit - if you jump into the water you may not be able to get back - would it not make more sense to have a different walking sound effect for the ferry guy? [u]AI:[/u] - whatever time you save using AI, you will lose 50-75% of the playerbase, and I see it happen so often, so it only sets you back, don't put stain on your work, you'll get more traction just making everything manually [b]Overall Thoughts: 7/10 [/b] The mood is the MVP of the game, I think it carried the whole thing, and I rather enjoyed the writing and the characters that it had. Pretty short but also very cheap. You have talent, but I hope you will reconsider the use of AI, it saves time, but it makes people run away from the game, and makes it hard to recommend it for others. But overall, I think you did a good job. [code]Niche, obscure and underrated games: http://store.steampowered.com/curator/31294838-Hidden-Gem-Discovery/ [/code]

Колоритные персонажи, хороший эмбиент, густая атмосфера... История.. ну, порядок, но... менее часа на прохождение? Хз, с учётом того что и геймплея здесь весьма мало, всё это в финале ощущается каким-то... ...неполноценным что ли? В общем, тот странный случай когда наверное похвалю, но не гнусно было бы сделать рефанд и подыскать что-то более наполненное.

We live two lives one in the present, and one in dreams of somewhere beyond

没玩懂想表达什么，但内容还是很充足的，虽然感觉非常空洞这部作品，像老师逼你写作文凑字数还写得烂

[h1]Cała Gra w [b]4K[/b]: https://youtu.be/B1CqOxwZDZY[/h1] To jest absolutnie [b]genialna polska gra[/b] autorstwa solo developera. To tytuł, który ma wybitny klimat, niesamowitą fabułą i piękną stylistykę - przypominającą mi mariaż Tima Burtona ze starą grą [i]Jekyl & Hyde[/i] z 2001 roku. Coś pięknego. Do tego gra jest absurdalnie tania... [b]MUSICIE W NIĄ ZAGRAĆ[/b], jeśli kochacie horrory... Będziecie zachwyceni. Dawno świat przedstawiony mnie tak kosmicznie nie wciągnął oryginalnością.

Krótki horrorek na godzinkę, ot historia do snu. Chętnie zagrałbym w pełnoprawnego rozbudowanego RPGa osadzonego w takim świecie.

Bardzo mocny tytuł, z przesłaniem, w rewelacyjnej oprawie graficznej w stylu retro, ze świetną ścieżką dźwiękową. Historia wbija w ziemię.

Pretty fun little game. Worth the $5

It's really short, but dense with atmosphere and great Lovecraftian character design. It left me wanting more.
