I actually enjoyed this. It wasn't too difficult but not overly simplistic. A good time passer.
Reviews for "The Gatekeeper"
Really impressive! You can tell a lot of hard work and love went into this game!
The narration is amazing, and I love that you had every little thing being read out loud! But, the voice acting, especially the main charecter, needs some work. You can ell they're reading off a script, and you can't feel the emotion connect to what they're saying. Not to mention, some of the lines themselves are written a little... off. The details are very well don and in depth, but with some of the dialogue, it seems very... like a regular conversation, when it's clearly not. Like when the hotel manager calls the grandmother, and they're both like,
"So, like, my hotel is haunted and I need it fixed."
"Ok."
When, in reality, even if they did talk about this every day, they would still sound like they're taking it seriously, not like they're narrating a book. Same with Matt seeing his dead Gramma.
Also, I assume this Grandmother was old, and therefore fragile and weak, especially since she died.So.... How old is she? How did she die? Was she my mom's mom or my dad's mom?
Another thing, not too big a deal, but why would a demon huntr have books like Dracula and the Shining? Wouldn't she have to deal with even worse, unimaginable, horrors when fighting Demons? Wouldn't she have more practical books, like hand-written journals about demons and their weaknesses or her own accounts, or maybe even the Bible?
And with granny's diary, she would most likely not write it as a 'How-To' guide, she'd probably just say, "Simple Ghost Trap." and list materials and steps.
Why does granny have a black-light lamp in her living room?
Wait, people were BURIED in the hotel basement? That's not normal, and why would he just leave them there?
Why can't the lost and found box just be a regular box with stuff, why an out of place hidden object game?
Unfortunately, my back is killing me from sitting at my computer, but I'll continue this review later, in a different segment. But, I have to say, the sound design is very well done!
Nice game
The game is decent the cliffhanger is interesting but keeps one interested much more medals would be nice, And making these games longer would be a plus for all to enjoy, this was pretty dazzling and entertaining of a game but wouldnt mind a longer version
~X~
man, I WANT to like this. but it's not scary. everything fits except the vocals. they just... don't. work. They're tonally off, and have no relevance to the mood whatsoever. WHYYYYY?
I was going to say you got better, and you did but this is still a waste of time
Stop doing so many cliffhangers and leaving the game shorter than it makes the player expect to be, you could just put more cases in the game or at least give the opportunity to enter to the room
I hate this, I could say you got better just that the ghost looked to cartoonish so it wasn't at all creepy and it loses the seriousness of the situation
3, just because you got better and I didn't like the other ones, I like this one but it piss off and is a bummer how this ends
