It's not a bad game at all. It's a great start but what would really be good is a set of instructions in the game. I know you're supposed to walk/run around the maze , enter the code, and avoid the skeleton monster but it's hard to do when the entire game is near pitch black.
Sure you get the flashlight at the start but there's no way use it. No matter what button I pressed, I couldn't get it to work. Maybe you have to collect the batteries sure, but the entire game is so dimly pitched that I have no idea where to go. The flashlight was lit up green which made me think it had power unless you want to do a battery life system like in outlast
The mini map in the top right doesn't help either. I give it a 2/5 at best. It definitely has potential but needs a lot more polishing. Heck I stood at the beginning for only 5 seconds and the skeleton monster popped up and got me.
So to put it simply.
If you're going to keep the room dark, include instructions for the flashlight or let the player character use it from the jump. There weren't any prompts or instructions to light it up. If you CAN use it, have a prompt that says "Press this button to use flashlight"
If not, then please increase the brightness in game. I was straining my eyes trying to see where to go. The monster wasn't really scaring but the jumpscare startled me.
This game needs a lot of work. If the creator puts out an update then I'll be more than happy to revisit it and update my review.
Thank you for the review for now, I Finished working on the game. But if I ever continue on this game or remake it Ill 100% fix everything you said in your comment! Thanks again for this in depth review for my game!
Whoever made this game needs to quit developing, the game is fully made from crappy free models, jumpscares wouldn't be scary if not earrape sound, gameplay is boring and used everything that was done thousands of times(Literally):chase sequence, maze with monster, etc. instead of original gameplay mechanics, voice at the beggining is horribly recorded and is too long, something that can be explained in few seconds is being explained for whole half of a minute, also levels are much more crappy version of overused The Backrooms levels:Level 0 The Tutorial(Found Footage ver.), Level ! Run For Your Life, etc.
im stuck why does the code say 5:6 i dont know what to do
That's just code for the secret door but the moment you finish the objective a door is gonna appear in the middle of the map.
I Love It
