Greetings players!
A new update is out! We hope to fix some of the issues and problems you were having :).
It's been a few days since our launch and you guys and girls have given us lots of feedback. Some of it positive, some of it, less so, but important nevertheless!
What you told us:
- The game looks and feels nice but...
- It's too short, and...
- It feels like there is no backstory!
What are we doing about it?
- Well, for a start we are adding more content!
- We are adding the rest of the story which we missed before!
A longer explanation of changes:
- Finding a balance between too easy and too hard is, well, not easy, and we experimented with lots of different options. In the end we felt like we wanted to be more "generous" - it's better to think that a game was too easy than to think it's impossible to beat right? Well... it appears that we underestimated our audience. While we mainly tested our game with "escape-room goers", we apparently missed the fact that PC players are at least as much, if not more, familiar with puzzles! As a response we added a few more puzzles to the mix - and we also tried to make those puzzles a bit more inter-connecting, as most of our previous riddles were only based in one room. We are also preparing some changes in the decoration of the rooms, we feel that some parts of the game feel a bit "empty".
- The story on the other hand is another topic. While we planned and wrote the plot from an early time, we made the (obviously not ideal) decision to put storyline in a secondary role since we needed to do so much else. This really showed and while we had a plan we, well, didn't put it in the game! As soon as the first reviews came in this became obvious and we set out to add all those missing bits.
That's it for now, thank you for being here and please continue to share your thoughts and ideas, this game is meant to shine in the long run, when we are more experienced with what people like to see and there is a lot more content for you to enjoy.
