Has a few logistical problems...
1) Can't search for water, so you can't really choose your priorities.
2) You'd think the location name would be a clue as to what you can do there, at least some of the time. But there's no apparent correlation between activity success and location.
Basically, feels like a game of dice, not wits.
Lots of good and bag things:
+ Transparent stats view;
+ Lots of art in almost every scene;
+ Big number of outcomes on every section;
+ About guaranteed hit on a medkit search (Maybe a bit off the "survival" line);
+ A guaranteed ending (motivation)
+ Some awesome jackpots in travel.
+ medals and a leaderboard!
- Some already used art from previous game and lack on upgrade character look (moustache? lol);
- Really hard chance in finding weapons/armor;
- Rarely a zombie fight moment (it has a good role combat system);
- Lack on number of scenes with decisions (easy to figure the best choices);
- Hard time when finding water (gets lost quickly, workout option is rarely to afford it;
- BUG in a travel decision scene where you go in a dark building to help a crying girl;
first lol a verry good and addictive game though
I love your work Hyptosis, but this game has got some serious problems.
First and foremost, not enough water. I worked out a few times in the beginning, and regretted it for the rest of the game. It seems like finding water while searching for food is more rare than finding it while traveling, so I spent most of the game resting for 4 energy a few times, just to travel, and repeat. It wouldn't be so bad if there weren't bugs that stop you from getting the majority of your water; If you kill the crazed man and take his things, you should get 10 water, but it does not register. If you tell the man to drop his backpack and then take it, that water does not register either. It seems like a few other numbers reduced drastically when they were supposed to increase, but I can't be sure. The fellow traveler and safe-house water seems to work fine though. I ran across a few other bugs, like when you find the woman crying, rocking back and forth, I tried to help her, but the screen goes dark and the same choice reappears over and over again, forcing you to run away. Now, running away is probably the correct choice, but the choice itself is missing.
This game has all the quality, artistic style, and quick fun that your games are known for, and while I was able to get to the end, it definitely suffers from these serious bugs. I also thought you should know that the medals don't work, but this had no influence on my rating.
I really hope this gets fixed soon, I'd love to play the game for what it's supposed to be!
