But sending a rat in your sleep won't be. ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ🗡🛌🏻
it definitely took some figuring out how to play it right, i wish I figured it out sooner because I'm in a loop with anger/the end and I just keep getting slaughtered.
Over all great game, I really did enjoy it. But drawing that pentagram, its just such a stupid thing to have to kill him 6 times in a row because its impossible to use the track pad on this small laptop to get it done fast enough. I have many choice, not so nice words over this.
Edit: reply: I think he may have offered me to buy after the 2nd time, but I had used my money poorly on my first play through. I had like 40 knives going into the last fight (which is completely useless) and had no money left to buy more potions. I'm starting over and trying again.
Also I wish it would save progress. I had just had my 5th campfire and the screen went black when I tried to move on; I waited but it never came out of it so I refreshed the page and it starts me back at the beginning.
HatiValcoran responds:
Question! Did Stolas not offer you a Bargain for potions and knives on your second try at the final boss?
This is a very interesting game. The tutorial at the beginning is good but it could be a bit more detailed. Maybe the huntress could have a journal or hunting log to keep track of her journey in the wood and maybe provide a bit of story, a bestiary for the monsters/animals to add a bit more atmosphere. Also given the length of the game a check point system would be helpful. All in all I find myself unnerved by the rather oppressive atmosphere and that's the type of atmosphere I expected. It might need a tweaking like with the nightmares having these distant screams or weird noises like the first mutant deer.
HatiValcoran responds:
I also wanted to make a journal-style bestiary. Sniff, you get it.
Unfortunately it would had required too much dedicated art, and Template broke out of the rubber room with rats. But on the plus side, now there is a local save system implemented! ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ❤
Man, this game really nice. Kind of super hard at the end... maybe didn't got some of the things at first, but it was nice to understand.
DAMN IT. I finished the game but didn't get the medal
HatiValcoran responds:
I've made improvements to the medal system so newground's API won't idle out people that are actively playing.
But check your notifications, I sent a little rat with a gift your way. ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ
Game looks cool, but the controls give me anxiety. I don't know where to place my fingers.
Maybe the start menu could show a picture of the mouse and keyboard to preview all the buttons?
HatiValcoran responds:
1, 2, 3 + S + Space ( + R if you finish a totem and unlock a second skill. But that would only happen a ways into the woods. )
If you have any suggestions for more finger-comfortable alternatives I would be happy to hear them! ᘛ⁐̤ᕐᐷ✎❑
