Reviews for Purgatory Dreams - Theatre of Shadows

I liked the pixelated, vintage, old video game theme and sound effects.

But,
It needs better animation or more of it.
The lipsync was fine.

I'd do without the "pokemon" attack option box, and actually animate the fight scenes.
I know that you were trying to make this feel more like an old video game, but it's like you took the easy way out with the "attack option box".

The story was horribly depressing (especially at the end), with no point or hope for any of the main characters at any point during the story.

ClockworkPixel responds:

"no point or hope for any of the main characters at any point" you mean, almost like a horror story? or indeed life itself?

in all seriousness animating better fight scenes is something I wanna do in the future, Golden Sun esc battles is something i wanna start on

it seemed uncool because of all these allusions to game interface. But the twist at the end made it well)

ClockworkPixel responds:

thank you

You never dissapoint, you really have a knack for this, the way you blend the horror, the minimal storytelling and the things suggested, pixelart, videogames, animation... it's really something else.

ClockworkPixel responds:

thank you so much
