My Thoughts

• music loop is to short and the loop doesn't sound great either
• Original Idea (I like the original feel of this map)
  • Needs somthing else to make me want to play it

Final Note

This game needs some simple fixes and then it would be a great map.

• Fast pace gameplay
• Something for replay value

If there is nothing engaging about the play mechanics, one questions why bother play it.

Demon Souls and its predecessor have demanding, controller-crushing combat mechanics, an old-school difficulty curve (a vertical line), and are engaging at least insofar as they require focus and precision or you will perish.

The comparison to Dear Esther is not apt, either, since this map doesn't have the benefit of a narrative, there is no story to experience, nor does it have the quality of immersion in a beautifully rendered landscape that makes the journey to each narration-trigger node more than slog.

As an exercise, it's fine; no one leaps to accomplishment before crawling through practice. As a map, as a game, it does not merit attention. More consideration needs to be given to the design of gameplay mechanics, something involving more choice than where to move.

Thanks for commenting. I wanted to make a simple map that didn't have to be learned, it could just be played.

The games Demon Soul's and Dark Soul's inspired me to create that lonely creepy adventure feel.

If you want me to play your maps or look at something be sure to message me, I've been super active here lately and want to encourage the creative map process.

This map is pretty but the mechanics of it seem like 25% done at best

The graphical style is really cool.

Is this some sort of Dear Esther?

A point-and-click adventure game, minus puzzles, humor and narrative.

what did i just watch exactly?
