"...with the tiniest of steps like we're penguins." I loved this line! The ending definitely surprised me. I think you did a great job of putting your own spin on the Resident Evil / The Thing inspiration. There were many well written parts and I wanted more by the end. I think that's a really good thing! Clara rocks, even if a little scary!
As someone who's interested in Interactive Fiction, I also liked how you stuck to the major points and didn't make any dialogue or description too long. It felt comfortable to play and more like watching a movie.
As for feedback, I only had trouble with one thing which was making sense of the navigation mechanic. It took me a few minutes to understand where I was going. After I started looking at the map, I realized my options were related to where I was. I know it must seem obvious to the developer but I really was lost!
Maybe highlighting the entire section we're currently on with a different color would help instead of the flashing icon. Also, giving a slightly different tint to the protagonist's portrait could emphasize we're Erika??
Your neocities mentions you're Korean! I'm playing this from Seoul!
Also, I'm working on Interactive Fiction content myself, if you're interested, I could keep you in the loop once I'm further along. Great game! :)
This looks great!! Would it be okay to create third-party material someone could use for this game? I didn't see a license. Regardless, it's well done! I'll definitely run it one day. :)
I'm humbled! Thank you for taking so much to write this. Shudderspeed opens a lot of doors into conceptualizing activities beyond rolling dice. I really enjoyed reading through all the expansions and alternative rules. It made my week finding something so cool. I also really appreciate the format of collective design this project has inspired in others. I think it's something that should be emulated across other projects and creators. It's brilliant.
Thank you again, the comments brought a shine to my day. :)
Thank you for making something so human and touching. It felt like holding little pages of stardust. I think when something is written from such a deep place, it has the ability to move everyone regardless of how they identify.
It's games like these that show how this media has transcended into something that is art. I hope it's enough that a few dedicated people notice you but I wish the world could too. :)
Amazing! And so personal. Thank you. I think it's incredible that this experience transcends both conceptually and visually all of our expectations. The world is a better place because you made this.
And I agree, forgiveness, forgiving ourselves and forgiving others is how we can be released of anxiety, of guilt, of hate. Such a beautiful message.
A solid collection of design ideas and unique quirks to tell a setting first-game. I really liked this. Great job! I'll try and spread the word around. I'd recommend sharing this at cons.
