Review:
I very much appreciated this game! I have played another game with the same assets pack, and it is a great asset pack! The story was awesome and the exploration was cool too, I did however miss some more rewarding exploration, like perhaps a hidden key to a hidden room with a hidden figure, or something of the sort, nothing game changing though. It is quite the same when you have spent so long making such a beautiful map, that nothing but the story makes an incentive to explore, which is more than enough for me, but not for most. And I would really like some hidden secrets! Despite this, it was an awesome game, far above the Indie standard!
I did encounter two bugs in my gameplay, however, they were not on recording as it was on my way for the second ending. I fell through the map twice, once at the entrance to the firewall and once at the windows in the bridge. And then it is possible to go behind the stairs in the room with the hammer and get stuck for good. And then there is the code! What is the code for! :D I spent so much time figuring out what the key was for, but I found no answers! I first assumed it was for the door, but you can open the door without the key, so it must be for something else I assume?
Lastly, must games of this quality often get discovered rather fast on itch.io, though it seems as if it is being overlooked in the browse section. I would really recommend you change the thumbnails and make them more "flashy" so to speak, they need to stand out a little more, they need to scream for attention! I myself skipped over this game first, but gave it a change as the "most recent" section had nothing all to exciting. And then ask people to rate the game, so that it can reach "new and popular"!
Finally, the game is overall great, nothing much to add other than the exploration incentive. Fantastic work!
