Fifth in the line up. What a solid well paced little demo. I know its out of date, and I have been digging through the dev logs over on the youtube channel. Excited to see how the game build changes and turns out. I most enjoy the music during the row boat segment.
The flow is really good, and I didn't feel like I was getting lost since the natural level design is well executed. Really nice lighting for the mood, and I was really hoping there was more when the demo was over. Thank you!
Love this! I've been slowly trying to make my own PS1 style horror game as well, but I'm a noob when it comes to this type of stuff (funny though I've been working in the video game industry as a Sound Design/Composer for 20 years). I just have no idea about anything outside of audio! ;) I did pick up PSXFX so that's been helping.
This is a pretty good looking game friend! I love how the game reminds me of The Suffering games, where you have a psychological element to it, where the protagonist struggles to decide what is real.
As for the gameplay itself, is there a way to zoom in and out the camera? I found the fixed 2nd person perspective (where I mostly just see the player, but can't really get a better glimpse of the world around me to be debilitating, as it makes it hard for me to see the environment. Other than that there really isn't anything here yet that I can critique.
Please heavily consider implementing a combat system, weapon system, and such in order to further make the game engaging. Without those things, I'm afraid I kinda feel like I'm playing a walking simulator. I'd love to await this game's progress.
Really like the graphics and the atmospere and the story seems interesting.
Great Praise to you, how you how you lead the player through the levels, I know everytime where I have to go.
Also what I really like is the thing with the voice in the head, remembers me to Hellblade: Senuas Sacrafice, a game what I really recommend to you for inspiration if you didn't already played it.
Some notes as a tipp for you what I did while i played the game:
- Importand: create some Ingame Menu, where the player has the possiability to check the controls and quit the game.
- Interactable objects need to be highlighted more.
- In that case of third person perspective, in which the camera is so close to the figure, I whould recommend you to place the figur not in the middle, more left- or rightsided, for example like in God of War (2018), Resident Evil 2/3 Remake and/or Hellblade (again)
So I hope my tips can help you a little bit, and I will wait for the finished game, because what I saw right now is awesome and can't wait to see more.
Just finished playing the demo. I must say, the graphics are beautiful and the story is being told exactly how it was told by leading devs who created games for PS1. Looking forward to the final game!
Alright so, this is actually really good, you've done a great job trying to give that nostalgia feeling. Some advice tho: The camera behind the player is weird, maybe it should be positioned a little bit higher on the player or a little bit more far away from his back, because actually a large part of the screen is occupied by the character. There is a bug too, entering the shed before the boat, the camera changes fast and the controls are relative to the camera, so you can end up going in and out of the shed, making cameras shake hard, not understanding how to get out of that situation. Try to make a little transition, so this doesn't happen, or make the controls relative to player and not to the camera. With this said, this is great, keep it on bro!
So much love for this game and aesthetics on so many level. Really wished it was much much longer
A few things though, would be good when in 3rd person mode where the camera is just slightly further away, feels a little uncomfortable when its so close to the guy's backpack, and also loses view of whats going on.
Hopefully you complete this demo into a full game!
Games from this time period are a cornerstone for my gamer identity. A lot of titles that are classics to me are very reminiscent while playing your game, it was awesome! I honestly would suggest continuing development for this. Just to close the story out and have a solid game because the story felt like it was building to something bigger and it was a fun experience to the end!
I think this has a lot going for it. Reminds me a lot of early Silent Hill and Nightmare Creatures. The controls changed on me when the camera went to a fixed position, but I got accustomed to it. The ambience is really impressive, so I really hope we see more!
Great atmosphere in this one, it brought me back to the old ps1 horror games which i adore so this was a treat. I'm very curious how the story will evolve, it kept me interested, had fun playing the demo! Looking forward towards the full game!
GAME WAS GREAT DUDE! I loved the more authentic ps1 style graphics over the pixel filter. The gameplay was great too but i had a little trouble on the fire section. other than that i loved it!
Super nostalgic feeling. Absolutely adore the direction of the game artstyle and the ambience is really great! Excited to see the full project when it's done.
Definitely had a fun time playing this game, the nostalgia really got to me when I was playing ps1 games back in the day, but overall was pretty danm good for a demo. Keep it up.
Thank you for playing, I enjoyed your video, I'm happy it brought back some memories :) thank you for your kind words on the project at the end of the video.
Such a cool game! It really captures that old school, nostalgic feel I got from playing PS1 horror games back in the day. Interesting story, cool mechanics and gameplay, and just enough mystery to keep me intrigued! I enjoyed this!
Not sure what's going on but Bitdefender won't let me touch your files. First time it happens on itchio, I get multiple messages of malicious attacks being blocked and quarantined when I extract your game files.
That is strange, I assure you there is no malicious files in my project, its a direct package from Unreal Engine 4 (nothing added), sounds like you have some sort of issue with your PC ?
Great game! the atmosphere/style were good, I love the style of this game because I'm a fan of the PS1 horror game, can't wait to play the full release.

Just played this. Excellent game. Game #2. Hope this manifests into a full game ;).
Just finished playing the demo. I must say, the graphics are beautiful and the story is being told exactly how it was told by leading devs who created games for PS1. Looking forward to the final game!

It's looking great so far. Definitely has a Silent Hill vibe to it.
my playthrough starts at 26:45
