    Solo developer and the voice acting is on point. I’m not a fan of looping hallways or psychedelic universes. But if the game just remains in the mortuary I think it would be super cool.

      I'd like to see it set in the mortuary, but with a little more emphasis on the atmospheric horror. I think if they turned up the visual ambience with some subtle effects, like having occasional tiny, sparse dust particles floating in the air that are visible under the bright light, or a little bit of blurriness from the glare of the light, stuff like that. Not just detailed textures or reflections, but some very small touches of visual effects or filters seem like they might work out really well.

      basically that, yeah lol
      the psychologic horror part in the middle there was by far the weakest
      not that it was bad but I think the entire thing would be better if it stuck to just the demonic stuff in the mortuary; I'm sure I'm not the only one who rolled their eyes when we suddenly found ourselves in yet another psychological horror game

      The only thing I’d say is done wrong is that unembalmed corpses don’t have closed eyes or mouths. Even if they were closed at death, by the time they’re pulled from old storage the eyes will have opened (even if it’s just halfway) and the mouths almost never are closed on their own- two defining traits of a dead body are the eyes open (often one lazy eye) and mouth agape (depend on how the head is positioned for how far open). It’s a thing I think is too often ignored as a great static scare- it’s a very real thing and there’s no jumpscares or suddenness to it, it’s just there, a natural part of death but often scary for the living.

    • @Burtocd
      @Burtocd 3 ปีที่แล้ว +22

      @@samuraisharkie A fairly easy explanation for that would be that the features could've been set before rigor mortis creeped in, and the face would probably mostly hold until embalming took place. I do know that embalmers place eye caps under the eyelids and suture/wire the jaw shut, though, in order to prevent any horrifying events for the family of the deceased during the viewing.
      One thing that the dev definitely got wrong is having you place the first corpse back into cold storage, since refrigerating the body after it has been embalmed is completely unnecessary in the majority of cases, but that's just me being nitpicky.

    I really enjoy the random haunting events aspect to these kinds of games (and even the distinguishing marks on cadavers varies each time too), it makes watching multiple people's playthroughs tense because you don't know when or if they'll get the same ones. (That cabinet crouching demon is a good scare that seems to get everyone who sees it!) A great feature that's been included in a few horror games recently, and just another thing that makes this solo dev's work impressive, creating something with some technical nuance and replayability. Atmosphere, voiceacting, animations, sound design, interesting game mechanics, everything is compelling - and I've seen that the dev is really paying attention to feedback and appears to be adding things even to the demo (I think the subtitles are a recent addition since I watched a couple others earlier and they said there were none?) so very much looking forward to how the full game turns out!

      Yeah, it's beyond old hat at this point. It stopped being scary when Silent Hill 2 did it and knocked it outta the park. I'd argue that the last great psycho-horror games were both The Evil Within's, because they mixed psychological horror with visceral horror very well, while also cribbing from The Matrix and The Cell (the latter even being an inspiration for SH4). The problem is that some people just aren't scared of ghosts or demons, because they don't exist. The funny thing is- I'm an atheist, and I find the idea of ghosts or demons terrifying, so obviously, your mileage may vary.
      Final point- I find people who aren't sufferers of mental illness are the same people who find psychological horror scary, while someone like me, who is deeply mentally ill, finds it... boring.

    Oh my gosh, that first jumpscare got me so good! I think I literally blurted, 'Oh my gosh!', as I was eating, before I even realized what happened.
    I hope this game isn't one of those that looks really good in the demo but drags on in the full game. It has promise, though it may have already set up the storyline for what's going to happen. Hey, if they've got more jumpscares, creepy atmosphere, and good voice acting like we saw in the demo, I'm into it!

    I've done some embalming training and I'm actually SUPER impressed by how well researched this is. Some smaller steps and details are skipped, presumably for pacing reasons (wiring the jaw for example, which was still referenced through the equipment being there), but what was included was quite accurate. Definitely the best depiction I've seen of the practice in a work of fiction :O

    The concept is great. I thought it would be a game about a mortuary assistant that has to do her job while getting harassed/spooked/haunted by the ghost of the current deceased. Kinda like a puzzle game where you have to identify the problems and how to solve them all the while the ghost comes for you. It turned out being more... story-centered and linear than I expected than that though. I would've preferred if it was more gameplay oriented rather than story based. Great demo though, got a scare that sent chills down my spine and another that got me good (despite being on guard constantly).

    I enjoy watching your playthroughs because honestly, you are very thorough and were the only TH-camr that wasn't completely lost the whole time. I think in every other one I watched they didn't get the clipboard at the beginning or didn't use it to figure out what to do. At the same time, and possibly also the reason you don't miss as much is that you are clearly not scared most of the time. That is helpful when playing but was a bit disappointing since watching you guys get scared is mostly why we watch :) Still, great job!
