Its a amazing desinged game i love it for being a demo it a very complete game. Your doing it awsome it has loads of extra stuff to do the game even more complete. The mecanics are wonderful and the movment in general its very well made and the variety of ways to damage a opponent are simply incredible. I cant wait to see the full game¡
I love playing movement games, and this one pretty much has the others beat. So many different combat and movement techniques. My favorite thing to do however is break out of bounds with this movement tech.
don't know if this is intentional or not, but sometimes when I would grab a guy to get ammo, and I threw him and he didn't hit a wall, he would get up and attack me but stay orange?
currently it has partial controller support as in: you can rebind keybinds to your controller in the settings menu.
I’ll try my best to make controller support better over time, but just know it’s always been designed for mouse+keyboard primarily. Some actions will feel weird on the controller
I am really not good at this, but I started getting the hang of it, now I find myself thinking about this game, I dont know but I feel like putting time getting decent at this would be rewarding like..quake or darksouls lmao Great work!
Hey! I played this in the Spectral Mall Demo Disc and included it in my roundup video. Starts around 0:54 (if you only want to see this game). Best of luck with the development!
As long as everything goes well I expect to be able to coordinate a GOG release when the game is complete (meaning out of Early Access).
I still have not decided whether I will want to have the game available here on itch during all of Early Access, but at the very least when it goes out of Early Access, yes it will be up to date with what’s on Steam.
Absolutely wonderful, one of the best designed games that I've played in a while, a lot of indie games shoot for Super Metroid / Dark Souls I don't think I've played one yet that nails the gameplay design of those quite as well as this.
What's great
Nothing exists in a vacuum, EVERYTHING the player does has consequence, and it nails that mini metrovania / dark souls "skillful" level up feeling perfectly. The game doesn't get easier, you just understand it better. The game does a great job staying consistent with it's internal ruleset and rewarding you for understanding it better.
You memorize optimal bullet / whip / throw combos for low level enemies, you make decisions about whether you're going to quickly finish off an enemy with a quick shot or take a slightly more risky approach to harvest some ammo, later you might learn that you can do cool shit like take the time to harvest one enemy for ammo and use them to kill another enemy to more efficiently get more ammo.
Small niggle
I might just kind of suck but I wish that there was more unique markers of where you were. Obviously a full blown map would sacrifice a lot of the good feeling of exploration that the game has and discourage keeping a mental map of surroundings, but I think that if you're going for Dark Souls it would be nice if areas were named and there was a little area on the HUD that displayed the name of the current area / room that you're in.
This I think would be
1) pretty easy to implement (other than coming up with thematic / creative names for rooms)
2) Help players draw physical maps or keep better mental maps
3) Let frustrated players ask their friends if they get lost / stuck or check online and get good instructions / advice instead of just quitting for good or having to describe where they are stuck in very subjective terms
Thank you for the feedback it really means a lot! It’s always great to read what people think about the game.
I completely agree with your suggestion, I think it may have been an oversight that I didn’t add in some kind of unique name system for different checkpoints at the very least.
I understand feeling like that, I hope to make the game a bit more accessible in the full release using everyone’s feedback. That and I will eventually add some difficulty options!

Great job man.

this is simply amazing, the design gadam
Amazing! The movement, combat and level design are so good!!!
really addicting & good game when you have nothing else to do with your life.
10/10 recommended to play until your legs start cramping
I can tell this one will be a giant skill check for me, but I had a lot of fun with your demo!
I played it through the Spectral Mall, thus the thumbnail
The game is very cool but i would really like a endless horde mode , not tryna be a karen but i think it would add more to the game than just a story
Amazing game. I would love to see a combo meter
ultrakill.
Very cool Game
does it work with controller?
currently it has partial controller support as in: you can rebind keybinds to your controller in the settings menu.

Looks fu
Haunted PS1 version. I would bring here after made all HPS1 games. But this one deserves to 1st impression (in portuguese, sorry).
Would it becomes a sort of "new" BLOOD game version? Tap in this video and feel it.

Is there any plans to attempt a release on GOG? If not, I see you will fully release it on itch.io, will you also be updating it here alongside Steam?

thanks so much for uploading the latest demo! I cant wait to give it a go
neat.
Really enjoyed the demo. This is tons of fun. Is the full release coming to Itch.io?
Thanks! and yes it most likely will be on Itch.io for full release. Not sure yet for Early Access though
Great! Really looking forward to it.
This is a master piece, I hope the launch of the game on steam goes well for you :)
Thank you it means a lot!

Love that the game rewards you on exploring
