Demo Patch v0.4.4.1
Thanks to everyone that played the demo so far! I'm really happy with the results and got a lot of good feedback so far.
I want to bring up something while the demo is still available and keep an eye on how it evolves: level length consistency.
I’ve seen different playthroughs; some where players took quite a while to find all the keys and the exit, and others where they completed both main levels in under 10 minutes.
This amount of variation between playthrough lengths was not nice so I improved a bit the algorithm placing keys and the door in Level 0 (and its sublevels) to take spacing better into account.
There are more things I want to do, also I would like to improve Level 0 puzzle further (instead of just finding 3 keys) to something more engaging, but for now this improvement should help.
There were many changes to difficulty and how it changes gameplay to list them, but there is a new difficulty selector when you start a new game so you can read all the details there.
Added:
Improved consistency of Level 0 (and sublevels) keys and exit spacing.
Difficulty rework
Added Difficulty selector to starting new game flows
Fixes and tweaks:
Revive hints, lowered revive time, improved player kill seen post processing effect
Phone ring now attracts entitiies
Added subtle sound cue to hidden Level 0 exit.
Various small bug fixes and stability improvements
Remember that the demo will be available until November 25th, a day before the game releases in Early Access.
