I bought the game yesterday and beat it today. I have to say that I really enjoyed the game, lots. Different style in gameplay with the realistic physics in dragging stuff around, creepy ass music, and eerie situations. This game actually made my back freeze over when a dog chases me. Not many games make me do that. =P But I do have my inputs on how you can improve for episode 2.
- Needs a map system. I know there may be map layouts all over the mines, but a map function would be very useful and you can create bigger area's then the ones you created.
- Random music and sfx placements. This will basically enhance the tension for the player if different music and sfx pops up out of no where. Will make the player abit jumpy.
- Creatures coming outta no where. Remember the ventilation ducts? Have random creatures like Wolves bust outta them to scare the living hell outta the player. And make it change everytime the player starts a new game to keep anyone on their toes.
- Better A.I system. When you attack a wolf it runs away and then makes believe it never saw you in the first place. The wolf does go and alert other wolves to your position but that happened rarely. The wolf should go and gather other wolves then coming running after you without the intention of running away again.
- Better stealth antics. There wasn't an option to slow down your movement. The wolves should be able to hear your footsteps as well when in prone position. Made it feel very unrealistic sometimes.
- More weapons. Melee weapons anyway. And if you choose to, only supply a normal handgun since the game is more of a thinker rather then a fighting game.
- Doors should have like Padlocks or bolts on the doors to make an easy escape from enemies. But at the same time the enemies should be able to burst down the door if the player doesn't act quick enough.
- Better character development. The story is good, but has a lack of character development. And every save point gives alittle bit of a clue about Phillips father. Which should have been a cinematic with pictures like in the intro to explain things a bit more better.
And thats my input. I will give more later if I have any more idea's. Good luck on Episode 2! I'm gonna buy it! =D
