"Very nicely done."

This game really surprised me. When I first started it, I thought to myself five minutes in "Oh damn, I have a bad feeling this is going to be cheese beyond belief". I was pretty wrong; The parts in the apartment really creeped me out, as did looking for the cubicle. It really kept you going for what was happening next.
There were some downsides, however. For one, that ridiculous fighting scene. No offense man, but it looked more like they were practicing ballet than fighting each other. Maybe next time it should be in first person, or maybe even RPG styled. The shooting portion was ridiculously hard, too.
I think the 'choose your path' parts of the game could be more challenging, as well. Granted, these types of games are unfortunately flawed to begin with, since you can do anything over that you screwed up on, but maybe cause some more consequences based on what you do.
Finally, the vocal audio got pretty shitty at times. Lots of nasty static popped in a couple times, which I suggest editing out sometime in the next installment.
Still, this is fantastic. I've kept the password for the next game down and I can't wait to try it out.
Author's Response:
ROFL at the ballet. This is so funny. As I said, I didn't have any experience at all with fight scene. It was a big challenge for me. I would be happy to collaborate with experienced coders for future episodes.
Thanks for the review. I will keep your comments in mind for future chapters.
Cheers,
JB
