We had a great time exhibiting the demo for The Vaults Below Durn: A Field Study at Gamayo! It was great to watch people play the game for the first time, and we even got to try out some awesome games ourselves. The players provided some great feedback.
Many said the tentacle grab was lacklustre.
Many people were confused about what counted as a clue and what wasn't.
Opinions on the sound design was mixed so that will require more work.
Everyone loved the aesthetic even more than we expected which was great to hear!
Based on the feedback, the latest update includes:
Clues and Signs are announced when discovered, and are displayed on the top right of the screen.
Grabby's appearance has more impact, while still not being a jumpscare.
Added extra ambience to several rooms.
Added East Button support for gamepads to go back to the previous menu.
Fixed a bug where multiple interactables could be active at once.
Thank you to everyone who has tried out the demo so far, and as always if you have any feedback we'd love to hear it!
