Glad I played the first game before this one ! Really helped me with understanding the story ;) Although the bugs, especially in the last part with the boss, (made the game freeze) was quite annoying, this was really well done ! The end would have made me cry if I had slept that night (but that's another story :) Keep on doing games like that :D
Reviews for "Cold Memories"
Man, i love this game. The soundtrack graphics and concept are amazing. I cool with the didlogue but the sound of the letters was a bit annoying, you cold make it appear more fast too, there is no need to do it letter by letter :)
over all defenitely good... but you really need to work on a lot of things to deserve the full 5 stars:
1: the game is dialogue heavy... perfectly fine. what's not fine? having to figure out for myself the 'no dialogue on page' was the end of the dialogue for that screen... also not fine: having to constantly hit the next button on a couple of the frames. just in general, the whole thing could've been better in how it was displayed.
2: the "cutscenes" where it was just wording, -desperately- needed to have the s key be added to tell it is ok to move on... the 1st one that popped up, for example, caught me completely off guard... and I had NO idea what it had just said past the first sentence.
3: plot holes: see below (spoiler warning)
4: the gameplay had a very nice pace to it... but you really could have made it even just a tad bit more challenging... if your ever afraid of making a game to difficult... put in a difficulty setting, platforms especially are easy to do this, because the only difference between levels can be you start at minimal difficulty, then the higher the difficulty, the more things are added in.
other then these things... it's defenitely decent... especially compared to the original. just keeping working on it, and I'm sure you'll be just fine.
***spoiler alert for rest of review***
1: you imply he kills the mom and cat... and yet the door is locked preventing him from getting in... you never explain how he got inside in the first place to do it... or how they died if by other means.
2: in heat... I very clearly remember his friends name being 'Sam' ... in this game... it's suddenly 'Alex'
I'd give this 5 stars if it didn't freeze at the later stages. I loved the story. It was as interesting as it was depressing
Unfortunately I cannot READ THE STORY because the screen does not stay but goes to the next screen immediately.
