Demajen playtests... the "Isle of Reveries" Kickstarter Playtest Demo (Pre-Dungeon)
13My video on the original demo: • 18 — ""Isle of Reveries" Kickstarter Demo ...
As the title of the video suggests, I was a Kickstarter backer for "Isle of Reveries" so I've put (a very small amount of) money towards its development. I want it to be good.
That being said, as always, I'm incredibly blunt, opinionated, and like what I like, so expect some critique — and I do TRY and make it actual critique rather than just criticism (there's a difference!) — as we go through.
There's almost 3 hours worth of gameplay here, squished down to 2.5 hours to cut out some of the wandering around that I ended up doing having missed a couple of things.
The video features multiple annotations for things I found important, including feedback. LIsten for the Metal Gear "Alert!" sound.
