6.9/10 - A demo that's a throwback to the PS1 era that needs to be expanded on, (30 mins), this is an interesting game with a lot of solid concepts but the game slightly feels all over the place with some of it's ideas. It has potential in every aspect whether it's the story or the gameplay. But it doesn't push any boundaries such as the original Resident evil 1/2 or the original Metal Gear Solid. It feels like a good game but is missing elements for me. Obviously the story and game is incomplete so the 2 sections in the game feel slightly jarring as they bounce from a game on a water station to a strange dream like world (but I presume these two worlds will make more sense in the full game).
The visuals and audio is great in this game as the lighting and locations are very pretty and well done. The controls are a throwback to the PS1 tank controls and there is a modern control setting which I prefer myself and although they both work great, the controls sometimes were a bit glitchy in combination with the camera which became slightly annoying against the monsters.
In relation to the monsters, I enjoyed the enemies in the game as they were a good balance of difficulty and fun, and i'm interested to see what other enemies I will see in the game. I also thought that the boss fight was a good challenge but I do wish there was more feedback when fighting the boss as I was unsure if I did damage the boss so adding a louder sound or showing a damage effect to the boss would benefit the fight.
Overall this is a good demo and it shows the potential of this game, but I'm hoping a lot of this game will be expended on as it does feel messy at times. But i'm interested to see where this whole project goes!
This is really awesome but for the love of god remove the fixed camera tank controls, the resident evil inspiration is awesome and that series is incredible but there is a reason they don't use those controls anymore and it is one of the main things that keeps the early resident evil games impossible to enjoy for most modern audiences. I still think that this is an amazing game with lots of potential but my point still stands.
Just started playing and this is already one of my recent favorites. The art direction, atmosphere, inventory, controls and especially cinematography are phenominal. Hopefully this is on-track to becoming a full title because what's here is frankly beautiful.
I do have some minor criticisms in that enemies will sometimes block your path completely instead of providing the classic survival horror, "inch to escape." If you decide to run away from enemies to save resources, it's no good for a hitbox to block you into a gauranteed game over, especially when you're surrounded. Your own mistakes are supposed to be what gets you.
Otherwise, the game is incredibly fun as-is and I sincerely hope a full release comes of it, as this game presents a potent mix of style and gameplay that seriously stands its ground.
Bloody Fantastic Game AND I NEED MORE, loved the ps1 style and the gameplay heavily reminded me of Resident evil 1 which I absolutely love - I made a video On the game but I think I missed a bit or 2 however I would play a full game for sure of this.
A fun game..The puzzles waas hard for me lol. So i had to looked them up. Besides for that; I liked it. Beautiful music, art style, & everything in between.
Man! You are doing a great job! This deserves to be a complete game =)!! I love it every element in the game <3!! I tried on Steam Deck, and works very well on it :).
Please, can someone help with an advice? Do i need to learn c++, or blueprints would be enough if I'm trying to create a survival horror game like this?
This game does a superb job emulating the style of 90's classics like Silent Hill & Resident Evil while simultaneously feeling original. From the graphics to the Voice Acting, this game feels incredibly authentic & if you had shown me this without prior knowledge then I might've been fooled into thinking this was a genuine PS1 game that I'd somehow never heard of 😅
Overall this is a fantastic demo & I sincerly urge anyone reading this to give it a go for themselves. I really hope this game gets further updates cuz I would love to see a full game based around this concept 😁
A very cool game & a great alternative to classic survival horror games. Will look forward to future updates of this one. Its one of the best of its kind that i have played in a while.
I would once again like to present my submission to contribute to the writing of this game in any way possible. Let me know if you are taking submissions.
I don't comment a lot on games I find on here but... wow, you guys are seriously talented! There wasn't a whole lot of material here to play through but I didn't see a lot wrong with what you have going on. Great music, graphics are killer, and plot is interesting. Looking forward to seeing more from this!
i loved the game, but could not fnish the demo cause in the "disc 2" part the game becomes laggy. Dunno why, but i think it's just my pc. Still i think this game has great potential
it's laggy for me too there, however the boss is easy. you can hide behind the first column of the third point of view from the last door and shoot when it shows up in the second or third position from the furthest left.
well what i mean to say is i managed to defeat it but it was laggy for me too. constant 1 second delay for every movement at that stage which i wouldn't expect given the graphics.
For those that enjoy fixed-camera survival horror, this game is excellent. Although brief as it is a demo, it's a nice quick little throwback to some simple classic survival horror.
I wish the developer comes back to this and turns it into a full complete game. So much potential here. Great dialogue, great graphics, perfect enemy challenge (not over the top like some other developers of survival horror); this game is just amazing.
Great demo for a very promising project. Yes you have definitely nailed a 90s aesthetic in all aspects. Man, what's that word for nostalgia towards things that never existed? Will stay tuned.
I don't have much to say that hasn't been said in the comments before, great work, loved it, quick turn could be better, cutscenes that can't be skippedn wonky auto aim (or I'm just bad). I'm just sad that it goes into sci-fi/psychological horror stuff because I'm a moron and I like b-movie horror like Dino Crisis rather than say, Silent Hill. But that's just a personal preference and I would still love to financially support a full project, good luck going forward!
This game is great! I for sure would like to see where the project goes. I uploaded my Twitch Highlight of me playing it to YouTube. I also donated, hoping that helps. Keep up the great work!
The setting & environment really appealed to me as I love underwater sci-fi stuff. In particular the lighting (caustics and reflections from the water etc.) was top notch! There were a few visual bugs with character models clipping and enemy ragdolls glitching, but that didn't take away from the experience too much. I also really liked the surreal/otherworldly feeling to the ending and the pre-rendered backgrounds looked really nice.
What I would say is that the quick turn could be implemented a little better I think. Currently you hold down on the analogue stick and press the sprint button, similar to Resident Evil 4. However, since I hold down the sprint button all the time in these kind of games, I would end up accidentally quick turning when trying to back away from an enemy. I then would have to turn back around again which usually meant I wound up taking damage. Perhaps the A button could be used to initiate the quick turn instead of the X button.
Additionally, I think the gun sounds could be more impactful and the enemy death sounds more gruesome. Even though you want to deter the player from using their guns too much, I think having more intense & scary sounds when they do have to would still add to the tension and fear factor.
Overall though, a great classic-style survival horror game and I'm excited to see how the two parts of the demo will connect! 4/5
Hello dear dev, you probably don't remember me anymore, i'm one of the very first people that played your game on Youtube (and i also posted some screenshots about it at the time), well i'm here now with some fresh ones, again you did a good job, i look forward to the full game :P

Oh hell... I need a full game like this. I absolute loved it.

Fixed camera angles and tank controls are a staple of the genre. If you don't like those things, stick to modern games.
Just started playing and this is already one of my recent favorites. The art direction, atmosphere, inventory, controls and especially cinematography are phenominal. Hopefully this is on-track to becoming a full title because what's here is frankly beautiful.

stunning game! are you still developing this? if so I would love to see this become a full title.

Absolutely gorgeous work with a unique atmosphere, inspired by PS1 classics. A beautiful love letter. Can't wait for more!
This games is charming!
Please, can someone help with an advice? Do i need to learn c++, or blueprints would be enough if I'm trying to create a survival horror game like this?
This game was great, I absolutely cannot wait to see more!
Perfection. As great as this is now, it would have been legendary if made in the the era it's styled after. Love it!
Overall this is a fantastic demo & I sincerly urge anyone reading this to give it a go for themselves. I really hope this game gets further updates cuz I would love to see a full game based around this concept 😁

This looks beautiful.
I just tried your game. I reached up to the (first? only?) boss fight. Great demo. I hope to see the full release at some point!
I would once again like to present my submission to contribute to the writing of this game in any way possible. Let me know if you are taking submissions.
I think maybe you should link a porfolio or something, that's helped me when trying to work with someone/get writing jobs.
Underrated throwback to classical survival horror games from the 90's. Really loved the aesthetics of this and I'lll be definitely waiting for more.
I like it, though I feel like I was too hard feel of the game, but I still like it
Very good game can't wait for the full release

This is awesome, Played this during a Marathon Stream!
will this ever be on steam?
THIS GAME IS REALLY GOOD!!!

Endless Blue, I love this game!
Looks incredible!
