- - - Thanks for the first page! - - -
(Really don't know how it got there - especially since the sound was awful yesterday...)

---

A horror game which can be played over and over since you never know where evil hide!

This is an update of the game Awe - The Beckoning.
Updates are based on the feedback from the last version.
Major updates are - "Sudden unfair death" is removed.
Describing text added.
Some tweaking of the variables...

A warning to those faint at heart - Do not play this game since it contain flickering, flashing and sudden horror events. Play on your own risk! (I just write this as a warning so that I won't be sued, not to 'hype' the game/make it seem scarier than it is!)

Feedback most appreciated:
Is it too easy?
Is it too hard?
Should the instructions on how to complete the game be more precise?

The sound is either very broken...

Or you did something wrong.

Like. R.I.P. Headphone users that was torturous ear rape. But neat game.

Sounds

I loved the game, it was well done and scary. But the noise did kill my ears, as others had said. Besides that, great job. ^^

A quick suggestion to help your ratings

Change annoying screech noise between every freaking movement with just a heartbeat echoey noise going: thump thump, thump thump. Just as scary and off-putting, infinitely less annoying.

Don't kill people with no reason or add a reaction thing so we can at least survive it with quick reflexes or something.

I Swear I've played this before...

And i remember i could never finish it cuz i kept randomly getting killed...the first time i died this time around was fair but the second i was in the attic and then hands came around me and that creepy face popped up and i died...so i would consider than an unfair death unless theres some move or time limit im unaware of.

Agree with everyone else

The sound killed it for me. The loud buzzing during each transition was very off-putting. There wasn't much clue what to do or where to go. I guess you follow the bloody hand-prints? I wandered around, finally grabbed some scissors, then got killed. No rhyme or reason other than "I took to long". Too long to do what? Free the spirits? How am I supposed to do that? I don't know. There's not enough clues lying around. I decided not to replay it.

The interface, while very artistic, was hard to determine what to click on. The cursor would disappear, then suddenly reappear, then turn into stencil arrows if I positioned them for a second or two over a door way. Sometimes some handprints would come up, but only if I scoured the screen. It was just difficult to figure out what to do, where to go, and what to interact with. The movement on the stills made it feel limiting rather than freeing. IE: I didn't feel like I was looking around a room, I felt like I was having my head held very still, and someone was just letting me move it ever so slightly in 5 degree arcs. I felt like I was wearing a neck brace.

I guess this sounds like I'm really bagging on you, but I feel it's constructive criticism. There's a good game in here some where, but most folks won't see if if they're instantly put off by the sound and interface, then later by lack of clues.
