If you would like to join us it would be awesome! https://itch.io/jam/ultimate-300-bundle-submissions best regards & peace <3

Great job achieving the cyberpunk/noir feel and tone.

Cool story, a bit spooky at time. Enjoyed it!

Since a new version (1.7) has come out, I will provide some new feedback.


1. I tried to rebind the controls to WASD, I had my controller plugged in at the time and it seems to have softlocked the game. Not sure if I can replicate it. 

2. The datapad is very hard to read. The font size as well as the colours is the main issue. Its better to use contrasting colours. 

3. Why can't you exit the dragon bar the same way you came? Strange. 

4. Minor gripe, but the kid in the alley is as tall as Merc... You could probably use the default MV sized actor sprites.

5. A sign by the tree has no words. Maybe this isn't important, but the sign could have interesting trivia about the tree. Just a suggestion.

More to come...

Edit:

6. Spelling error when you go in the apartment bedroom. *Doesn't .

7. Grammar error - when talking to Colt, Mercury asks a question but you forgot to add (?)

8. Noodle bar looks unattended, yet they are offering you food...

9. you can walk on the walls when you go downstairs at the bar.

10. Was not a fan of the underground sequence... Too much trial and error... Not like there is a serious consequence for getting caught. Just an annoying and pointless section in general.

11. interesting 'boat' sprite... looks more like a spaceship.

12. No exit button in main menu?

Just finished part 1. I like where the story is going. Very intriguing plot threads throughout. didn't expect the hobo to come in at the last second! It says part 2 is available. can't wait to see what happens next!

I found a bug after trying new clothes I think

Edit: More bugs...

1, I can walk on the walls in the hotel room. Seems like the wall painting's collision is not set up correctly.

Design issues;

The resolution is great, it fits the entirety of the screen, however everything is quite small especially on the map.

Hello,

As you already know, I streamed your game last weekend. Overall, it's an inoffensive game, but I wish it attempted to achieve more.

There has been a noticeable improvement when compared to the old version of this game, Project Alldevaih. It's clear you have grown a lot as a game developer since then, and so that should never go understated: you're definitely on the right path!

However, the biggest flaw I have with this game is the fact that it is a game. As far as game play elements go, it really seems to be lacking as there are no interesting choices to be made any where. It simply is to walk from point A to point B and let the mystery solve itself with little work from the player.

I hope in whatever your future game is, I hope you will begin to implement some gameplay ideas, even if in a small part, such as branching and meaningful dialogue choices and/or (if you wish to continue to stick with the mystery/crime genre) clues & evidence hunts.

If you'd like to watch my experience with your game, I've linked the archive below. You can click the timestamps to jump to when I start playing your game.

Hello! I would like to get in touch with you because it would be great to translate the game into Spanish LATAM. You know, I'm an English into LAS translator looking for video games like yours to translate for free.

Localizing your game into Spanish, will boost your visibility in the Spanish market.

I know it sounds crazy, but as I mention below, it would be a free localization. The only thing I ask in return is my name in the credits and the possibility to mention the game in my portfolio.

What do you think? I'll be playing the demo and waiting for your reply.

Best. 

I played it this week and I found it really good. The atmosphere is nice, the story is captivating. Sure, there are some downsides: pathfinding does not always work, I found one bug when I could walk inside the walls (unless it's a Stranger Things reference) and in the beginning I really did not know how to find the bar. But I think it is really promising and I would be interested in playing next chapters.
