MODERATORS
after the demo you can walk outside to experience the full dystopian game
Ok but that photo of a building you posted could just as easily have been taken in any British town in the 1980s
Imgur already removed your picture.
Cool with a game, but at this point, im thinking the real world takes these things as instructions how to proceed.
Might have time to try it out, but either way, wishlisted to help your numbers.
Coming from an Eastern EU country I dig it. I have two questions if you don't mind. • what did you use to make the assets? • will you make it steam deck compatible?
Hey :)
I'm honestly super surprised to see you / this game here on the Fediverse.
A few days ago the trailer of this exact game was on my YouTube front-page recommended to me (despite just having hundreds of views). The game looked amazing (I even made two comments there). But now, seeing the same game / even the developer themselves on Lemmy, which isn't exactly a well-known platform, is such a big coincidence :0
Anyways, while yesterday the demo wasn't available for me on Steam yet, I just looked at it (the page was even still open!) and now it is :D
I'm actually hyped to play it, I just have one question :) How much does the demo spoil of the game? I'd love playing the demo, but I don't want to spoil myself too much, so I probably wouldn't play it if it contained large parts of the final game.
Thank you for the kind words : ) So the full game takes place over 7 days and in the end I have planned 10 unique endings. The demo is just the first 2 days so you can get a taste of what the experiment is about. Basically it doesn't spoil anything. I am amused to read player theories about the story and the indentity of the main narrator tho! Let me know if you are gonna play it because feedback and positive reviews on Steam are always welcomed!
I got partway through the trailer and decided I needed to pause so I could experience it fresh. It looked too good! I can't wait!
Thank you! really hope you like it
Cant play the demo for a long while, maybe ever, just leaving this here so I can find it in the future. It looks pretty good and its an incredible topic to explore.
Hope it does well!
Thank you so much! Out of curiosity why can't you play? Are you at work?
I didnt do 2FA and now im locked out of steam, and my email, and my older email, and the email older than that, and its a pain in the ass getting it all back. Theres not enough hours in the evening to get it done in one go.
Ah, sorry to hear that. Hope you fix it at some point so you can back to Steam games. I assume this way a lot of the games you own (or rent) are locked too...
Oh hi neighbor! Wishing you the best of luck with the new game.
Thank you! Cheers! :)
Hey there Road_Warrior_10, good luck with your new game.
GOAT Mod! Thank you so much for the support! It means a lot : )
Wouldn't say GOAT, but I sure try to do my work the best I can.
Oo can't wait to try
Thank you! Hope you like it!
[Crafted without Gen A.I. No A.I. Art]
I dig that it doesn't use AI art.... ai code or music?
also, I think it would be useful to spell out generative ai.
will give it a look when I get home!
Thank you, yeah no AI in the code, the music. Just not useful for me
Just not useful for me
good human. I don't want slop games.
I'm playing through it now - I went through the playtest, and I like the new intro. I also want to let you know that the game was muted until I opened and closed the settings screen, for some reason.
Also, the pill bottle in Test 1 has a typo. 'labaled" should be "labelled".
Thank you, I just tried it and I had sound. It loses sound when I alt + tab and then go back in it comes back. If you can also please leave a review of the demo to help spread the word : )
Sent the review! It's good stuff.
Thank you! I gotta fix the type with the next version too
Just FYI, the image in your post with oppressive architecture does not work, imgur says the image was deleted. I'm from East too, wanted to see if it's the same East if you know what I mean
The image in question.
Hmm, I just tried it incognito browser and it opens. Very strange
yep it works for me as well. The photo could have been taken from my hometown honestly. I wish there was some movement to rebuild them all. Congrats on this achievement, from a fellow East Euro dev.
Are you going to release it on GoG?
I don't know yet, if there is interest. But the full game is not close to being finished
It would make Europeans happy that are trying to reduce their US tech consumption.
downloading it now! looks very interesting
Thank you! Really hope you like it!
is there a way to turn the reflections off? they are causing really bad performance issues on my pc to the point where my game ended up unfortunately crashing during the 2nd test. i was averaging between 15-24fps even with a beefy pc (Ryzen 7 5700X3D, 32GB RAM, RX 7700 XT 12GB).
Hey, is this on Linux?
Looks awesome! I’ll have to try it out tonight and maybe give some feedback.
Thank you so much!!
Looking forward to trying this! Just the kind of game I like that expands on the art form and show they can be more than just games.
Thank you so much, I really hope you like it! The main narrator has an amazing voice!
I've been waiting for this demo, right off the bat I have 2 technical points to raise:
- please offer a toggle for the filmgrain/noise. streamers and youtubers will thank you, as that stuff absolutely murders capture quality.
- my framerate tanked to 35 and stayed there after the intro interrogation, which ran fine at stable 120 fps (uncapped, vsync). Using linux + proton-ge, rtx3090, r5800x3d, 64gb
Thank you, the grain is part of the aesthetic so I'm not sure how good idea it is to remove it.
Cool! I'll try it out. The trailer has some severance energy to it
YES! love that show, hope they hurry up with S3
Oh shit! You made Don't Press the Red Button or you'll delete the multiverse. I really enjoyed that! Hell yeah
I play games to ESCAPE from reality.
