Maybe I don't see what other people like. But I'm going to give my thoughts. I don't like it.
The art style is beautiful, low-res but aesthetically pleasing, the voice acting is nice, although skeleton through me off (lol, models for the characters are amazing, but there's alot I don't like.
Dither by default - turned off immediately
Walking sim - I thought at the beginning, 'Ok, Scottish Dark Souls game, no problem, Dark Souls is fun' I thought I'd end up with a weapon. No. Instead I collect fireflies, walk through a forest that gets me lost, and an enemy jumps on me. then without telling you a control a bar pops up, which I'm guessing is a skill check? Now, luckily, I found out spacebar is punch...it did nothing in the bar though
So maybe I didn't get far enough in...but I don't want to. I'm not pushed to want to carry on going, for all I know I could be strolling in a forest for 20 more minutes. I just...don't like it, but hey, I don't have to like a game for it to be enjoyable for others or the creator, so keep making people who are into it happy
Well it is just a demo and since you do play as a knight I'd bet you'll get weapons later on in the game. I wouldn't judge a game fully based on it's pre-release demo but that's just me.
I loved the visuals and I'm into the dithering but in regards to the gameplay I felt the same way. Maybe I missed something but I felt that when I was walking around getting lost at the beginning I started losing interest quite fast. When the first enemy showed up I just got jumped on and lost most of my health trying to figure out how to do the quick-time event. Now maybe there's a way to fight the skeletons but it seemed like you just had to get leaped on and win the quick-time event and that just seemed really boring so I stopped playing.
Replaying the demo today and there is one thing about the game i take issue with. its no deal-breaker, merely a minor gripe. the voice of the skeleton creature does not match its appearance. at least to me. there's way too much of a juxtaposition in my opinion. very solid demo in every other regard though, and I'm still looking forward to the finished product
I need more! The demo alone is a masterpiece! You have amazing talent. The design of the creatures and characters are so cool, and you create such an amazing atmosphere with their presence. The forest looks and feels very real despite the low-poly graphics, which I think serve the environments incredibly well. I can't wait to see more of this.
love the art style, the music, the sound effects, the camera, the animation and this demo was a great showcase of all that, though i would like to see some combat, i think this game would fit well with it. and i'm assuming so much is planned already, i just long to see how it would look like in this game.
Combat would fit perfectly in the type of environment this game (demo) displays .
9/10 for what vision i see for this game's future (if any) by playing this demo. Liked everything about it, except maybe that i want to see more of it, and the demo certainly excited me but didn't quench that immediate thirst by just walking in forest.
would def consider giving you all my money if a game where to come from this.
Amazing demo, hope the full game got a lot of story! Also try to fix the bug of the camera go in to the walls and see the void! Love the sounds and the atmosphere
Hey I played through the Demo twice and I just wanted to let you know that it was really freaking cool to play through, I loved how the game looked, the music went in hard, the atmosphere of the game was scary and calm at the same time, hearing ever step you make through the mud and hearing creepy things in the distance was terrifyingly awesome, the monsters at night were creepy. I wish the demo was longer and that you could fight the monsters with a weapon or even a shield, More npc please. I can't wait to see the full release of the game I wish you guys all the best! p.s. here is my gameplay
The graphics are truly amazing; i've never seen anything like this before. Really wonderful. Gameplay wise, there's not much here. A walking simulator more than a game. Still great, but I hope the final product is rich in story and atmosphere to compensate
Did you study film or drama? I ask because the cutscenes in this are beautifully done; the subtle animations, the timing, the angles - really beings an emotional weight rarely seen in games.
That said it was pretty hard to figure out what to do or what was going on in the game proper so you have some way to go. I'm tipping you 10 bucks because I want you to get there.
Amazing work! You managed to capture an amazing atmosphere, I didn't want to stop playing until the demo has ended. I'm eager to play the full version once you're finished!
Very ambitious indeed! Good luck on finishing it. I don't really know how many people are on your team but with this level of detail (especially those animations <3) you will definitely need some more. Again Good luck!
also it somehow reminded me the game MediEvil, don't know if that was intentional :)
Awesome I like everything the only funny thing is that the skeleton breathes and you can see in his ribs he has no lungs or anything besides bones but I still love it even if the breathing is "innacurate" it gives the feeling that the character is alive
Definitely into it, loving the visuals and animations. Would recommend maybe removing some of the walking at the beginning though, I was definitely starting to get tired of it before making camp. Just my opinion though.

Really love the atmosphere. the look was really nice as well. Im looking forward to seeing whats to follow

Aesthetically I love it already. I plan to download it as soon as I get home tonight. I'll write further feedback!
Why Linux have more MB?
I really like the atmosphere this game creates, and for whatever reason the walking animation is very satisfying. 10/10
I hope in the future updates I can hack and slash my way right through end lol.
p.s game starts at 10:51
Wow it looks very nice 😍
Tried out the demo!
Great work, I would love to play the full game!
So compelling and just beautiful! When can we expect more?
Looks Great!

Very atmospheric. Passed the demo version several times. Impressive! I'm waiting for the full game to be released

The intro reminded me of Soul Reaver. Loved it. Love the style and the ambience. Would love to see more! :)
Loved the demo! I did a video on it and gave a few thoughts on the game during it.

It's clearly something unique and I'll follow the development of it. good luck on finishing it dude!
I am Blown Away, please make more.
I'm definitely feeling what you've gotten started here. Great unique art style. Movement feels good. Sound is excellent. Keep it up.
this is art.
Definitely into it, loving the visuals and animations. Would recommend maybe removing some of the walking at the beginning though, I was definitely starting to get tired of it before making camp. Just my opinion though.
I have a crash during startup on both the Win x64 and Win x86 versions of the game. Where can I send crash files?
Nevermind, it's an issue with Citrix not with your demo. Fixed and now I can play
The demo looked interesting, but it was just a walking simulator, sadly.

What is this shader called?
The effect on the shader is called Dither / dithering :)
thank you!
