Hey dude, just tried the game. I really like the direction you are going in with this. The combination of MGS and Clock tower mechanics is a great idea and it works. 

Some things I noticed:

  • Xbox 360 controller doesn't seem to work with the game
  • Confused initially by the Tutorial menu option that doesn't work
  • No controls listed, that's ok to be honest, but you might want to put them in the itch page description at least. I worked it out eventually but it would have been better if I didn't have to guess.
  • Enemies are a bit too easy to avoid if you pay attention to the mini-map. Challenging to handle this since this is procedurally generated... I guess try making the vision cones a bit wider, the hallways smaller, or giving the AI more unpredictable behaviors, like turning around to look behind them randomly.
  • Would be nice to be able to aim before shooting. Maybe there is a way to do this but I couldn't find it.
  • I'm not sure I like the energy mechanic, at least not how it's implemented now. I can see how it could make monster encounters more threatening since you might struggle to run away, but it's a bit annoying having to just stop moving every now and then to let it replenish. Maybe it can deplete only when the character is frightened or something like that?

Anyway, really like the style of the game, very cool stuff. I'll definitely be paying attention and looking forward too seeing what comes next for this game!

Thank you so much, dude!. I really appreciate you taking the time to test the game and write this. I know I could have waited a little longer to upload the game, but the idea is to polish the details along the way and listen to recommendations on what to improve. I will take special note of your advice on the enemy AI and the energy mechanics(was scare  enemies were to easy on the player and added that to put more challenge, but now i see its a bit anoying). 

...thanks again friend, really appreciate you put time playing the game :)

No problem! I think you've already got a very cool prototype on your hands. All the things I mentioned are just small things, I'm sure you will be able to improve on them in time :)

Hi there, I really hope that a fix will be coming out soon that will let me download the game safely. My skepticism is unfortunately too high to simply bypass it. This game looks incredibly promising and has my total excitement. I really hope to be able to play it soon.

Nice this game looks good so far  i liked it well done keep it up!

version rar?

done

problem.... windows block your game for virus

im sorry :( its just a false-positive, because me dont having a codesigning certificate for the .exe file, for now you can add an exception to your antivirus or maybe wait for a future build of the game when i prob will fix that
