WE ARE SO DEAD

So I was reading through the reviews on the game, and was expecting this game to be either terrible or a hidden gem. From what I have seen from my time playing, it's not as hard as a lot of people are making it out to be. Me and my friends were goofing around alot but were still able to beat the game in about 2.5 hours. I thought that the gameplay was overall very good, I liked how the dead was able to communicate with the living and I thought that all of the ghosts were fun. Also the enhancement in difficulty throughout the floors was very enjoyable. For example, in the later stages where the ghost has to help the living find their way to the rooms and not just tell them what to grab from what room. However, there are a few things that did bother me. For example I saw a review that I agreed with saying that they wished the planchette used the whole rather then the tip of it. There are also some ghosts we just never saw like the one where you had to scream, maybe have like a karma system for ghosts that aren't showing up? I also don't know how I feel about the maps at the moment, with all the names of the room and some of the preview images I was kinda hoping for a giant house or something, maybe even different or larger houses on each floor but it just ended up being a big maze. Also some of the items will have the same names despite being different objects, for example a cap and a set of keys, I know that they look different but in the later stages when the ghost is almost always communicating it's a lot harder to quickly go back and forth to tell. (To be clear all these "complaints" are with the knowledge that it is in early access and I'm only putting so many because I enjoyed the game so much and I see the huge potential.) Leading to my next topic, there are a few suggestions I have (Please feel free to ignore these because the game is great without them). I kinda wish there was a better way for the dead to get around, like a sprint or some kind of teleport, because in the later floors the dead (at least if there is just 1) ends up having to run around a LOT. Also after floor 9 the replayability of it falls off quite a bit, I wish there was almost an infinite mode, where it would start from level 1 and keep going past floor 9 with a scaling difficulty. I think it would also be interesting if there were another mode or some kind of way to add a point system for a modified difficulty for some boons, like a spirit box with a battery. But overall this is one of the most promising games I have ever seen and I can't wait to see where this goes!

I was going to leave a good review of this game but after seeing how the dev treats people leaving suggestions I cant in good conscience leave one here.

Well, that was a shame. Of course one always looks at a game differently when in early access, so I kept my demands low and joined in with three friends. The font was difficult to read, ingame the text right in the middle of the screen, before the game starts, is hard to read due to the background of the game lobby, and it was overstimulating to decipher what written information on the hub was just too much. Communication was difficult with the ouija board, the movement was wonky and it's unclear when which ghost hunts. I couldn't care less if the dev considers this a skill issue - the game is NOT a game where "skill issue" should be their preferred reply to an early access game. This game is not built to be a skill-based game, it doesn't even offer the required gameplay freedom for that. A dev who can't take constructive criticism and rather refers to "Streamers beating the game so quickly" does NOT want to better their game. Which is a shame as the game concept is great in itself and could be something really cool and replayable. However I lost the desire to support a headbutting dev with a bruised ego.

Game is mediocre and the dev is lame.

一坨屎

fun game, we managed to complete all 9 lvls with friends as 5-6 group (it took us 6 hours). And we enjoyed it but sadly there are no more lvls. I would say that the 7lvl was hardest and from 8 to 9 were much easier cause of 'write word' demon that gave us too many time to loot items. Sadly "scream" demon were only in the end. I would w8 for more content and hope there would be woman alive characters for personalization. Also I want to make the game harder. I once got bug when i was dropped from the map

Forget it. The game itself is fun until you reach the Witness demon and then its purely RNG. If its not, it feels like it. You need to face away from the demon but somehow staring into a corner doesnt do it. Apparently, the ghost player has 5 seconds to be able to write a direction for the players to turn into. Dont buy until the developer either removes the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ demon or actually provides some explanation about how to deal with this bs.

Fun idea. The core mechanic of needing to communicate through the board is cool and can be pretty funny. Unfortunately, the level design is INCREDIBLY lazy. The screenshots on the store page don't accurately depict what the level is like. Its literally like one wood texture for the floors, walls, and ceiling. The sliding "doors" even share the same texture. Light sources are just slapped on the ceiling with no 3D model, just light coming from nothing. All the rooms look the same. The only way you know the "kitchen" is the kitchen is because theres floating text to tell you. The only difference between each room is what items are scattered on the floor. Also the game loop is very repetitive and boring after you learn how it works. The fun part was trying to figure out wtf to do, but after that its just kinda nothingburger game.
