Hey, you seem to have experienced several glitches. The first one is the newspaper text which I already fixed. The second is the camera and walking movement, it seemed to completely broke the level. It has never happened to me. I'll try to look into it. The third one was the letters which I also fixed.
Hi edd i'm from brazil, i have played this game on my channel in youtube and this game is MUCH amazing, i loved so much and can't wait to play he completed
Hello! I'm not sure what it is cause I'm able to download the game, maybe try a different browser. The browser your using might prevent you from downloading
Amazing experience, all the atmosphere and the way it makes you feel uncomfortable is excellent. This is definitely one of the best games on this page. Recommended 100%
This game spooked the heck out of me. The production quality was top notch. Very fun experience!! Cant wait to know more about the story. Played it over on my channel.
I've played a real dumb amount of horror games. Thank you for getting the horror element nailed down! Atmosphere, varied jumpscares, and solid story are top notch. I did notice frequent bugs (or maybe it's intended) that some notes require you to interact with it twice in order to progress the story. I'm incredibly excited to see where this game goes next!
Thank you man! Really appreciate your positive feedback :) May I ask which notes you had to pick twice in order to advance? I've never had that happen to me. Thank you.
No no, thank YOU for the experience! I played the demo and was delighted to see more! I don't recall how many exactly I had problems with, but the note by the laptop in the bedroom that starts "I sometimes go to amanda's room" was definitely one. I thought it might've been happening a bit before, but that time for sure. I have it recorded if you need a reference by chance!
🙏🙏 thank you man, glad you really enjoyed the game. Anyway yeah I'd like to take a look at it, you can send the video at my email eddlioni@outlook.com if you can please.
I must admit im very impressed. Sound, visuals, timing on scares, atmosphere, the lovely smoothness on the camera movement, its really high quality. Promise me you will keep making horror games :)
I just finished the early access and I really dig what you've brought to the table here--conceptually, the idea of a time-displaced ghost putting together the pieces of her own murder before it happens is excellent. I have a small novel of thoughts for you.
(fyi, spoiler alert for people who want to play this demo blind!)The environments in this demo were, for me, absolutely the best part; while the locations are a bit too clean to feel believably lived-in (which is totally understandable for a demo/proof-of-concept anyway), you show off a really sophisticated grasp of how to use color and lighting to your advantage. Sound, too. The bit in the hallway, with the breathing? Amazing. Legitimately unsettling. Honestly, there are a ton of little visual touches in here that are just so good, I could go on for a bit. Like all my favorite horror, you emphasize atmosphere over cheap jump scares.
On the other hand, I think the single greatest flaw in the demo as it stands is the writing. The newspaper articles aren't written in a journalistic style that feels authentic. The text exchanges are stilted. Most egregiously, the journal entries feel more like bland exposition than anything a grieving mother would actually write. It's easy to see that visual art comes more naturally to you than written art, which is great! For a horror game, good strong visuals/atmosphere is the most important part imo, but if you really want this to shine on all fronts, I'd suggest enlisting some friends/writer-y people to help out with the written portions.
Of course, I'm just some rando schmuck on the internet, and I'm a Known Snob about writing shit, so what do I know?
The tl;dr here is: Written portions need work but this is so good, excellent atmosphere and visuals, well worth the experience, and I'll happily play any longer/finished version you come out with!!
Woah thank you for this extensive review. I can definitely look into improving the newspaper articles, I tried my best to write it like a real newspaper article, I even read murder articles prior to writing my own. Of course like you said, I'm not an actual journalist so someone who is more well-versed in journalism or writing can spot the flaws. I can definitely look for someone else to do the writing in the future but right now, I'm working solo (except for a friend who's making the music). I also understand what you mean about the text exchanges, but it is hard to write them completely naturally without making the player feel lost, I have to make sure they know who is who and what exactly is going on etc. But I can certainly try to make them more natural, it is a valid criticism. But anyway, I'm glad you appreciate the work I did with the lighting and the sound, a lot of work went into both (especially lighting) and sometimes it is easy to overlook these elements. Thank you for your constructive review, I will definitely take into consideration some of the things you mentioned :)

Game looks amazing even though i didn't play it yet, and i'll do a video on it!
Edd...you might be my favorite developer....

Really cool game! I like the visual elements and I did give a few good suggestions on design going through it. Check out the video I made on it here!

I wasn't sure if it was part of the experience haha I'm not one to heavily question design choices. Well hopefully I was able to provide some insight!
Yes thank you! I think I might have fixed the one from the hallway with doors.

what engine is this game made from?
Unreal Engine 4
Love this game man! I played the earlier versions but this one feels like something completely different!
Thank you. Glad you perceive the game differently from the earlier versions :)
this looks great! Does it support Xbox controller?
As of now no. But I'll keep it in mind during development.
i can't wait for the full version
keep up your good work
Thank you :)
you're welcome
That first chapter was absolutely fright inducing. Really gave me lights out vibes. Looking forward to seeing what's next.
Thank you :)
Bug: I couldn't click this newspaper nothing happen
You made sure the crosshair is pointing at the newspaper?
It was clickable at first but I wander around about 10 seconds and when I try again I couldn't click
After you pick up the newspaper the first time and put it back a ghost appears at your left, you must look at him to active the next Event.
love the new update just wish u can click read the letter to see it much better
Thank you :) I'll update the game to include a read function
This was great! Minor glitch occurred when picking up the phone the static didn't go away.
Thank you! Yeah I got that glitch only once but I'll try look into
Very nice Updated , good job , the game is good !!!
Thank you :)
This Update Was On A New Level Of Scary!
Great Job!Thank you :)
I must admit im very impressed. Sound, visuals, timing on scares, atmosphere, the lovely smoothness on the camera movement, its really high quality. Promise me you will keep making horror games :)
Thank you.
🙏🙏 thank you man. If everything works out for me with this game maybe I can work on other horror or non-horror games.
keep up the good work mate, it feels good so far :)
👍 sure thing man :)
did you see Markiplier play your game, he enjoyed it
Loving this game, downloaded updated game, great work.
Thank you :). Yeah I saw Markiplier play my game months ago but that was an old version, hopefully he plays the updated version.
