The models, animation and sound design was on point. Wow.
The story was really interesting and the neighbours were charismatic. There are a lot of things that didn't have an explanation. That's part of the magic though.
Edit: Oh, I just read in your bio that you're planning on create more games in the same world as Funeralopolis. Instant subscribe.
Really cool and scary game. I loved/hated the random sounds and the flesh mannequin appearing randomly. Good jump scares without loud noises.
For the next update, we are planning to add controller support for the game and the option to invert the Y axis (for both mouse and controller).
We don't know when the next update is ready sorry! But if you follow us on itch you'll get the notification.
Thank you! :D
Thanks for playing the game, I'm glad you liked it! :D
Thanks for the info!
I'm using Windows 10 and a XBox controller, but I can't replicate the bug on my end. It may be related to the PS5 controller.
Can you try these to check if the game works for you?:
Sorry if some of these workarounds are annoying! Hopefully 1 works for you.
Thanks for playing the game! :D
Thanks for playing the game! And sorry for that bug.
Does this happen when the intro story ends and you start in the desert, or later? And can you move the camera?
And also, which operative system are you using?
Yes, I agree. I think the technology is interesting, but the most important issue is that they use copyrighted material. And I believe many companies are going to use it as an excuse to reduce costs rather than reduce their workers workload. And anyway, the workers shouldn't be overworked in the first place!
At the end of the day, the technology is not bad by itself, but in an economic system that prioritises profits and growth over people's wellbeing, it's going to be misused. But that's also a bigger discussion lol
I agree! Having to be responsible for the equipment was a really cool mechanic. It feels like you are a real explorer.
My feedback about that was more about it being a tricky mechanic to design, as the player could get stuck easily if they forgot the equipment in a unreachable area.
But definitily it's a mechanic that is worth polishing, as it makes the game more interesting.
I forgot to mention, but I think it would be better that the ladder is limited to the areas that you need to use it. And/or maybe that you didn't need to select the inclination. If you could use it everywhere, it could easily break the level design or make players stuck on some places.
And mostly for your ease mind too, as it sounds like a pain to program that!
At the Mountains of Madness is one of my favourite Lovecraft's stories, so it's really nice to see a game inspired by it.
The architecture was weird and eerie, I liked it, as it creates a nice atmosphere for a horror game. It also had some interesting mechanics, like using the ladder to reach far away areas or the pick to break the ice. The lore bits were really nice too, and it was well thought that you could write them down to check them later.
Some feedback:
It was a really nice demo! It has a lot of potential to become a cool Lovecraft inspired game. Looking forward for more updates!
Thanks for playing! And actually, you won't need to wait too much for the full game.
