A beautiful looking game, however the sensitivity of the mouse rendered it near unplayable. I wish I could've experienced it more, from what I did see it looked amazing. The user foodandsuch seemed to be having the same issues as me :(
THROUGH THE POWER OF PERSEVERANCE.... I finished the game, despite the cursor speed bit! This game is... honestly, really haunting. I love its writing, combined with its utterly frightening sound design. It's so vague, yet... extremely effective, regardless or possibly because of that. Really keeps your interpretation of what's being presented as open as freaking possible, and I love it. AND.... AAAA, it's genuinely, quite frightening. I LOVE IT.
Thank you for making it!!
Thank you so much for coming back to it and giving your thoughts! It makes me so happy to read them.
So sorry about the camera issues, I've been splitting my time between trying to solve what the heck is the issue with that, working on my current project, and my actual day job lol. Thanks again <3
I will... ONE DAY, FINISH THIS TO ITS COMPLETION, BUT.... As foodandsuch has mentioned, the cursor speed makes this.... quite difficult to commit to! It's just, hellishly slow, I dunno why. But a little bit of regedit in the future and this'll be perfectly playable!!!
Hi! I'm trying to fix this issue and I'll post an update when I do. I hope you'll be able to play it then! Have you experienced the same issue as foodandsuch (changing cursor speed) or has it just been slow and stayed slow?
It speeds up at certain angles, but remains slow at every other angle. Sorry for the trouble....!!
Gotcha, ok. Thanks so much for the feedback!
hi - the turn speed seems to be buggy? it's either really slow or really fast, I can't really play it with it like that
Hey, thanks for bringing this up! I'm trying to figure out a solution to this and I'll post an update.
Very cool and surreal!
