WELCOME HOME

To be honest I like this more than the sequel

Story progression and Puzzles are great.

Overall, amazing game :)

That might be actually a very silly question, but.............. HOW DO YOU SAVE THE SAME? CAN YOU EVEN DO IT?

(Btw this is so fucking masterpiece I can't even describe how touched I feel by its symbolism and aesthetic/imagery, which actually heightens my n00b-ish frustrations by restarting everytime I die and oh boy are those many times)

It was a fun game! I thought at first it would an Ao Oni type of a game but I was wrong. I really dig the style of the game. It was creepy and amazing at the same time. and oh, that "dog ran into the woods" story in the game, that gave me goosebumps while playing and editing! 

i loved this- and now im gonna play it again.

I completely love the style, it was an amazing (and scary) experience, incredible game!

I’m LOVING this game. Love the hints towards spirited away.. and is that a Twin Peaks reference with those red curtains or maybe I’m overthinking. ANYWAY I’m stuck on the part where you need to move that blue block :( I’ve tried everything 

Whats the name of the music track that plays in the menu in latest game version? It sounds amazing, disturbing, like something is very very wrong....i love it!

I loved it! Overall the world was a place i wanted to go back to, and i specially liked the Abigale world/music/everything-

I like how it's very linear and it presents itself as that very early (so that one wouldn't get confused by exploring other areas when stuck) only think i would've liked is more ways to interact with the world and characters, basically more dialog when you interact with someone, not just the previous text- more ways to get to know this beautiful game!!

Also, are you continuing the webcomic?

Is this game scary?? And how do i play it???

i beat the game it was amazing!

man i wish i new where the next part of the brain is

Looks like I'm back for more

There was enough meat in this game to sate me for a good week or two. I loved it. Keep the flesh coming, man.

I don't normally write reviews, but I absolutely loved this game and can't wait to see what becomes of it further down the road! The mechanics are interesting and the powers remind me of Yume Nikki. This game is a perfect mix of comedy and horror, and I love the references to other horror series like Scary Stories and NightMind.  And was that also a "Spirited Away" area I saw? <3

  Gotta love ya boi Nick Nocturne.

Im not sure  why, but this game really speaks to me in an odd way the other games ive playes havent. The idea  of this game and the mechanics of it are amazing! I really see this game in the future being really amazing, if it is as great as it is now. I really liked the mechanics of the eye, making things that you couldnt see with the naked eye possable. I also liked the npcs and how unique the characters are. 

Demo was awesome, has a lot going for it. 

For others looking at this comment:
[SPOILERS AHEAD DON'T READ FURTHER IF YOU HAVEN'T PLAYED] 

Things I liked:

The eye. I really like the idea of having an item that changes your perception of the world at any time. I started using it in every area to see if I could find something hidden. I think you should really build off this in the other areas.

Really liked the music, especially in the 2nd dream section where you find  the computer password. Beautiful stuff, and contrasts some of the more horrific settings.

The art style is creepy, jagged, and pixelated enough to leave a lot to the imagination. Pretty cool.

Dodge rolling. 

Things I didn't like:

THAT FUCKING JUMPSCARE LOUD NOISE IN THE DREAM HOW DARE YOU

Suggestions:

I really like the dodge rolling and would be interested to see more complex enemies to fight where dodging would be more necessary. Though then again, I'm totally okay with the focus not being on combat at all in this game, seems like the creepy dialogue and settings are the real strong point of the demo.

Spell/grammar check! A few typos in the dialogue are noticeable, pulls you out of the experience (which can be pretty immersive at times)

Other than that, keep it up!

Finished the demo, and I loved it. The story, though bare bones, is entertaining, the style is dark and grungy, and the gameplay is fun. I'm waiting for the full game to come out if it does. 

Everything's amazing, I kind of agree with what everyone has said below me (the improvements and good reviews) the only thing I can suggest is having the black gas creatures to be interactive, sure they live by themselves in a pocket dimension, but I'm sure they have alot of stories to tell, some funny, or some lore related.

Hi, I really enjoyed the demo! It has an aura of interesting story oozing without even being finished (haven't read the comic). I think that the only problems would be areas with useless space that are kind of annoying i.e. the place to pick up the computer password (just a long hallway to nothing), the expansive amount of area in the snow dream that is just unused, the well doing nothing (unless I missed an easter egg), and I also believe maybe a little creepy easter egg would be cool in the null dream area because it's just bland and leaves an impression of maybe some weird shit, but is actually nothing. Expanding on this, I think adding something useful to the null door would be good as well (it doesn't really serve a purpose). I also think the combat could be a little quicker paced. The enemies move very slow, and while it shouldn't be Dark Souls it is a bit retarded in mechanics (not a diss, the mechanical term). I encountered an annoying part of facing the double ghosts as well. When you defeat them and they are splitting they can attack you if they split in your direction. Personally I think this is something that ruins the combat of fighting multiple of those in one space.

Overall the story is fascinating, the vibe is intriguing, and the music is fun, but I feel the interface and combat could use a few touch ups, and the area usage could use some work. as @Michael_Laco said as well the hovering aspect in the item menu could be fun as well. Thanks!

I'll be honest, I haven't actually finished the demo yet (I can't find the door I have to unlock with the key from Haskel's room or whatever his name is), but thus far this seems like a really solid foundation. I'm intrigued by the potential for the story and combat, although the enemies so far have been way too easy. I also wish that the main character moved a bit faster. Maybe add a sprint button that consumes stamina over time? I can't think of any complaints beyond that, and I'm very excited for the final product. Don't give up!

[POST-COMPLETION EDIT] Alright, having finally finished the demo, I can give some more definitive critiques. I still don't have much negative to say that I haven't said already; the player character walks frustratingly slowly, and combat is kinda boring. That's pretty much all the bad stuff I can think of. I'd say my favorite parts of the demo were the forest town of shadow people and the Loser Room. Those two areas have some high-tier atmosphere, but in totally separate ways, demonstrating the flexibility of the developer in this regard. I'm also excited to see the story unfold; the little that was revealed in the demo got me really engaged. Like I said before, keep up the good work and don't give up.

Wow, I really enjoyed this demo!  The layers of eerie atmosphere are set up very effectively, and really had me hooked to dig deeper.  The changing visual styles and uneasy dreamlike music gave me surreal Yume Nikki vibes (in a very good way, lol).

William, thanks for the time and effort and love you put into this project!  I'm really excited to see more content!

P.S. Scary Stories To Tell in the Dark - nice.  :)

I really like the aesthetics of this game. I want to play more :)

I loved the game. Really easy to control and the story already sounds amazing. Really excited for it to be finished. Is the full game going to cost money?

Loving the style and want moar music like what I heard in the trailer :P - Have a 2-part series coming all out for the demo - Hope everyone enjoys.

I LOVE IT! im not finished, but i already love it. Sound design is great, graphics are great. My only suggestion, is possibly consider making C dodge, as its easier to hit during combat. Other then that, as far as core game, no complaints. im excited to complete this.
