Oh! This is a game? Couldn't tell after the long non-skippable, no fast forwarding, pause whenever I click outside the screen entire first part.
Reviews for "Proxy"
Sonoshee responds:
Well yeah it's more of a movie where you control more or less its ending. But I'm pretty proud of this work since it's my first released game, even though it had some problems.
Thanks for playing and sharing your review :-)
I SOLVED THE FREEZING BUG THIS MORNING AND ADDED A FAST-FORWARDING FEATURE, IT SHOULD WORK FINE BY NOW.
Hmm, could use click-skippable dialog, maybe even a skip to the decision after the first play, and could use more choices (with the logic behind them) and endings, such as:
1. Shoot one of the dead bodies. ("It was definitely that person")
2. Shoot ALL of the dead bodies. ("Well that was easy to figure out.") (The choice I wish I had.)
3. Shoot Aleph. ("It was you all along! You almost got me!")
4. Shoot yourself. ("I could be the killer!")
5. Shoot Aleph than yourself. ("It's better to die on our terms!")
6. Shoot all the dead bodies, then shoot Aleph (or vice-versa). ("I can't trust anybody!")
7. Same as #6, also with shooting yourself. ("I have to be sure!")
8. Shoot everybody else in the leg, starting with the dead bodies ("I've caught you now!").
9. Don't shoot anybody. ("What if Proxy is lying? That nobody is possessed, and that s/he/it can kill without a body!?")
10. Same as #9, but it was all a prank (on Aleph, or the player)! ("April Fools!" Or "Happy Halloween!") (Given that it's October, the latter would be quite appropriate!)
11. Maybe a combination of any of the above.
12. After the first (correct, in your eyes) play-through, maybe have an options menu where you always make the correct choice, just for fun, maybe even throw in some dark humor.
13. The opposite of #12.
Getting back at the game, the advice I can give all of you is not to rush, you are a detective after all, take in EVERYTHING.
As it is right now, it takes too long just to get to the part where you actually make a choice and therefore "play" this game, hence the replayability will suffer, along with the people who are waiting it out, hence the low score I give it.
The potential is there, though. Make an update or remaster or even a sequel with all this in mind, and I'm sure people would like it even more.
Sonoshee responds:
Yes agree with most of the parts, but I don't think I will ever implement the choices you gave, I mean one will easily go to killing everyone including himslelf and thus figuring out Proxy, and Maxwell the detective only has a bullet in the gun meaning he could only choose one.
You need to check the new version, I added a fast-forward feature.
Thanks for playing :-)
Sorry, still freezing.
Sonoshee responds:
The "review" could have been better if you supplied more details such as who's the hostage you shot.
Other than that, can't do much about it :/ I believe I did everything I could.
this game is sooo bad.. you need have multiple decisions in a game like this. waiting until the end is lame. especially if you've already seen the movie (devil). the dialog is painful and fastforwarding takes too long, plus the game froze on me a couple times.
What the hell did i just play, wait, i mean WATCHED!!?
Seriously, THIS IS NOT A GAME!!! This is what people that justify games call A WRITTEN NOVEL!!, this should be on the movie portal, not here, because there IS NO GAMEPLAY, all this is to do is reading, yeah, READING!!, and the fact is, IT DOES NOT HELP YOU BEAT THE GAME!!, its the visuals that help, the only good thing this has is the story (which is mainly the back text), the sprites and music, the gameplay does not exist and repetition is bad also, becaue you waste seconds to go to the playable event, all I wanna know is, how the hell did this get front page? and I am serios here, HOW!?!?
