Shadow Play's

Enjoyed the demo playthrough, the atmosphere, graphics and the voice acting stood out the most for me! The movement felt a little slow at times. Being able to have some indication of what you can click on after hovering over it would be nice little thing to add imo. Everything else was done really well and will like to see wthe full game. Keep up the good work.

Please note - version I played could of been an older version.

The game looks and feels amazing, aside from the slow movement but I feel it suites the gameplay style. I'm a big fan of the voice acting too, wasn't expecting that at all. The only issues I have are with the scares. (spoiler) there were 2 that I experienced and the first felt a bit buggy or out of place. The second was just a little cheesy lol but it's fine to have a couple of those. They just didn't feel like they fit into the game in my opinion, as if they weren't up the the high standard the rest of the game sets for itself. I'm going to share my experience but please keep in mind I was totally unaware this was a DEMO when I was playing. I had forgotten and thought it was the full game and that had me confused on a few things so please ignore those arguments lol. Regardless of any issues I still had a great time playing. Thank you very much for making it!

As the name suggests, the shadows in this game looked amazing!! Game looked, sounded and felt really great! The house instantly had me into immersion and was spooky right off the bat! The shadows, the sounds and everything really went together well and enhanced each other. The jump scare at the beginning was really unexpected and was well done! The subtle scares and spooks you put were good, even the hanged people and bodies really added to the environment.

Overall it was a great looking and feeling game, but major things holding it back (I felt at least) were the controls, camera and the movements of the game. The movement and camera were super congested and I had to hold 'W' to initiate any type of movement and had to turn my camera around to fiddle the character into movement and then manoeuvre my way back around to where I wanted to go. 

The camera felt... Wrong somehow? It kind of felt like it was being held back a little with resistance and the movement didn't feel like it was directly connected to the mouse (Though I have to say, that it did add a little to the game and made it spookier as it made the whole atmosphere also feel heavy and spooky) and hence took more 'effort' to move.

Oh and the audios were off levels. Some of the speech was louder than the others and I'm not sure if it was just me, but the spatial sound seemed off at the end.

Last thing would be the scare, where the camera moved towards the ghost lady, seemed really weird and I saw some other videos where it zoomed in way too close. My suggestion would be to not zoom the camera in and just make her peak around the corner and move away or walk/run down the stairs. That would add to the subtle scares as well as take up the spooky tone by a lot.

The above are just my thoughts on the game and just my suggestions. It was fantastic to experience and play and I really thought it was super fun!

Other than that, I have to say that the game felt really great! The shadow at the very end felt super, super thick and felt like it was enveloping the player and taking over everything. The running jump scare was also well done and scary (And I just realised that, that jump scare was connected to and foreshadowed by the one at the very beginning.)

Great game, and looking forward to the completed story and game! Sounds super promises; good luck and congrats!

oh cool, western horror basement. I like that asset

That said, I really liked this and it has a lot of potential. I love the atmosphere, environment, models, voice acting, sounds and story so far. Aces Games mentioned the addition of a crosshair; I second that and think it's a really good idea. Jump scares don't always get me but, I really liked the first one! I had a lot of fun with this and I'm looking forward to seeing what you add in the future.

Interesting game though I admit there was a few things that could be tweaked as seen in my gameplay demonstration. But you did capture a great setting and I want to see more of this keep on creating my friend. 

Hi there I played your game.

I have listed some of my thoughts. I hope you find it useful.

Pros

• The logo intro is cool. Too loud sound effects though
• Very nice visuals. The 3d modelling is very well made. Thumbs up
• Great voice acting is always a plus
• Overall the audio was great too. I miss some ambience sound effects though.

 Cons

• Insanely low movement speed. You should increase that by a lot.
• Not much gameplay other than reading and walking around. You should definitely consider adding more stuff for the player to do. Likewise I find it odd, there's a door half open, but the player is totally unable to enter. 
• Missing crosshair. I recommend you put add a crosshair/text which highlights important objects (Raycast). I missed the vent. I had to watch it from another’s playthrough.
• A glitch where the player gets stuck in the debris downstairs near the stairs.

I didn't finish it because I didn’t know, I could interact with the vent, even though I tried.

However, I like the concept. The game definitely has potential, and I would love to give it another try at some point. Keep it up!

Cheers

I had fun checking out the demo. There was a part that got me good with a scare haha. I'll definitely keep an eye out for the full version or future updates. Thanks!

Love this demo! Very well detailed game.  Please update as to when the full game is ready ! Game here: 

The story was really compelling and I'm looking forward to seeing what you come up with and where this goes!

Game's great and I had a blast playing it. Though it kinda got hard to listen with multiple audios of the protagonist playing at once. Besides that, great atmosphere and creep factor.

Hey :)

great atmosphere and graphics!

I seem to have more troubles than anyone so far, the view would not make use of the mouse, I could not "interact" with the 6 cube going up the stairs, and other more minor issues.. but good work none the less! oh.. and yeah the walking speed... ;)

Keep it up!💚💛💙

Hello, I played this game and I really liked it, the visuals were amazing, the sound effects were good, the voice acting also wasn't bad at all, one thing's that the walking felt a little too slow imo, but over all great demo, good work :)

Game Top 

Awesome Demo! Thank You. Made you a lil video: 

It's a very good demo, but in the stairs you sometime get stuck because of the trophy thing, i'm surprised by the quality of the art, good job!

Good demo so far, quite scary and creepy. walking could be made faster, if not, maybe add running?

Really cool game so far. I just wish we could walk faster.

The game was very scary and fun. It was however a little rugged at times. I whish the hallway that you can not pass was actually blocked like the one you use the vent to bypass. And then I would whish that the trigger box for the vents were a little smaller as you can often end up entering it over and over haha. 

I must say I am impressed with the story and the formulation of the events that has happened! How did you make the reader so well? I would really like something like this myself!

Anyway, great game and good work!
