It looks really nice, though some more reaction from the main character might make her feel more like a real person, rather than just staying silent went encountering all these things. Plus some subtitles would be nice, but otherwise really excellent work.
Subtitles will be in the full version. You can see a tiny hint of the system when you first enter the mortuary. I simply haven’t gotten to stand the whole thing up yet but they will be there!
I chose specifically to not have a lot of reaction VO. I’ve always felt it breaks immersion to have the game tell you how you should be feeling. Instead, I opted for reactions from her that pertain to telling her story to the player and informational dialogue for the players benefit.
You don’t get tons of it in the demo but there is a lot of her story in the full game. I just have never liked when I play a game and the character has a reaction that is extremely strong to something the player may not feel is worth it. I’d rather have the player assume the reactions of the protagonist. May not be everyone’s cup of tea though and that’s understandable.
10/10. Would embalm again. Honestly though, great job with the second demo. I was spooked a fair few times and it seems like I didn't see every scare either. After playing this I'm very hyped for the full game.
There are a good number in the demo and the haunt system chooses them and runs them based on your actions. So there is a good chance you did not see them all. There’s often something right behind you that if you don’t see it, will be removed and re-cycle back into the system for later use. If you re-play, the experience will be different. Not HUGELY different in the demo but in the full game it will be different story events, hauntings, bodies, and demon.
I had some issues rotating the gurney....although, this could have been my mouse? I also have a bad habit of picking up every object I see in horror games. As a result, I found myself unable to proceed because I had too many items and couldn't pick up what I needed to continue.
Either I couldn't figure out how to discard/use each item or this is just a small bug (which I'm sure will be patched for the release.) My derpy mistakes and potential bugs aside, this is absolutely fantastic.
The atmosphere, story, scares, voice acting, environment, and game play are great. This is really awesome for a solo dev team. I can't wait for the full release!
You can drop items in your inventory. If you press tab to view what you have and select an item, for most items, a drop button will appear under the description.
I've never been this scared playing a game. The atmosphere is unmatched, the scares range from subtle to full blown jump scares, the environment is unsettling, and the story is mind bending. This feels and plays like a AAA title. I can't recommend this game enough.
This game is so incredibly detailed and high quality. It's insane that this is Indie and not from a bigger studio. 1000% worth a play and excited for the full game too!
I'm really intrigued and curious to see what the final product is going to look like. Definetely will add to my wishlist on Steam. Great demo/prototype! Starts at 36:48 in the video.
Tried this during Steam Next Fest, and I enjoyed it alot. Even though this is a really short demo it makes me want to try the full game when it is out. Also I really liked the movements of the person at the end, was done well!
Awesome game! Love the details and atmosphere, can't wait to see the final product! Check out my gameplay, it's the First game in my 3 Scary Games video
I'm currently playing one of your other games, The Subject, and hope to make a video on it as well. Keep it up, love your work!
Was a really fun and great demo! The scariest part for me is when the message on the clipboard appears as it's very random and unexpected, and was a great touch. Definitely would like to see more of that. Other than that, the build up to the scary-ish end was great. Can't wait to play the full game! Good luck on development!

Are you sure you're not afraid to work here?

Thanks, glad to know I was just derping!
Thank you so much!
Очень круто выглядит игра, поиграл, но мне нужен русский язык, чтобы получить больше удовольствия. )))
Hopefully I will get some translation done for the full launch! I’ve built the game to be easily translated.
Easy translation is not for me ))))
Loved playing this. Can not await playing this when the full game comes out!!
This game is so incredibly detailed and high quality. It's insane that this is Indie and not from a bigger studio. 1000% worth a play and excited for the full game too!

I'm really intrigued and curious to see what the final product is going to look like. Definetely will add to my wishlist on Steam. Great demo/prototype! Starts at 36:48 in the video.

I loved this, you nailed it! I'm definitely gonna be playing this
Steam NEXT FEST 2021 No Commentary Playlist
Awesome! Thank you!
it was very good loved the Jump scares
loved the concept of this! although I think a more subtle and slow build up would be even scarier. Looking forward to the full game
Thank you! Yeah the prototype was meant to be fast. The full game will for sure have a slow build.
I'll look forward to it!
I’m doing a next fest stream on the Steam page tomorrow at 2pm est to 5 if you’d like to have a look at the full game :)
