Well, that was a little big something.
I liked every aspect of it. The visuals, the music, the story, the well-thought gameplay aspects.
I loved the logic I needed to go back search info on the computer to move on and unlock locations and people.
That aspect made me feel like a real detective.
To me, this could be like a pilot episode of a series where we discover more about the detective, Teleia, the mainland, so much potential... see what i mean (just keep the same format)? (Wishful thinking here :P )
Yep, that was a little big something!
What a blast! I loved the atmosphere of this game, a lot more serious than your previous stuff.
The puzzles are really nicely paced and the art is incredible. It's not even that short (or I'm quite slow) but I needed over half an hour to finish this one
Nice atmospheric game, a bit grim at the end but that's what apparently utopian dystopias are for, right? :-)
Audio puzzles... no thanks, we don't all discern beep bip beepey bop. They are overused in games for sure.
There's an option to skip the audio puzzle.
Noted once you mentioned it. It's "hard of hearing" mode? Is that the specific option or does it enable a "skip audio puzzle" during the audio puzzle?
Yes, if you activate the "hard of hearing" option, it'll tell you the combination.
What a great adventure game and comic style! I also enjoyed the mechanics with the database and evidence. The story was interesting with the choice-based ending.
Great comic style art and great game overall!
Thank you, Durinde!
Great game with a gripping storyline and exceptionally good comic style art. Well done!
Thank you very much for the comment, I really appreciate it!
By the way, Shrouded Space looks fantastic, looking forward to playing it!
It's a wonderful game with a thrilling and unpredictable story! I've enjoyed every single moment. The ending is very surprising. It was not easy and also not hard to solve it. Just right to enjoy an adventure game. Say, the story could be from a lost screenplay, because it's fantastic! The story is deep and has interesting characters. I love the atmosphere in your game!
Your comic art style is terrific and it's amazing you made all the graphics by yourself within 2 weeks!
Keep on making great games, mate! 💪
Thank you very much for your comment/review! You're too kind!
I'm also glad to read that the puzzles weren't too easy, I was afraid that the game had no challenge.
What a great game! This gets a nice place in my AGS-Highlights article for this quarter. :)
Thank you very much, really happy you liked the game! Looking forward to the article :)
Another short masterpiece. You are the man.
