Phantasma Occulus - Autumn Hearts

@susan - they work fine for me, maybe they just need a reload or something...

Played the game. Here's my rundown for it.

 

Story

• Constant back story being revealed by talking to the villagers is good.
  

 


Audio

• There is only one music track that plays in the game. It is a good track by itself, but since it doesn't change, it becomes drawn out and repetitive.
  

 


Gameplay

• The game uses a good note system to keep track of clues you find.
  
• The location of people change depending on the day and time, which is good.
  
• There isn't much to do at night.
  
• While during Day 1 and Day 2 it has the novelty and makes the player want to explore the town, by Day 3 the gameplay becomes repetitive. It becomes more of a chore to check every single thing and do the same thing five times.
  

 

Setting

• Some maps like the town square look bland and symmetrical.
  
• Some maps like the Marf Inn are unnecessarily large.
  

 

Quirks

• I cannot go to the second floor of Leila's house despite there being a staircase.
  
• I cannot go further down the path at the Lake.
  
• Hammering animations on stones that derail focus and serve no gameplay.
  
• Mushrooms block your way.
  

 

 

Bugs

• If you stand in front of a door and press the action button without facing the door, you will still be transported inside the door
  
• Knocking on Rio's room at night will give you a message saying "SHE is sleeping" (unless implying Rio is a girl)

Yes, I can see the images now. Thanks! Looks like it's going to be a good game.

There are actually two... You might just not be noticing them.

• I cannot go to the second floor of Leila's house despite there being a staircase.
• I cannot go further down the path at the Lake.
• Hammering animations on stones that derail focus and serve no gameplay.
• Mushrooms block your way

1) Yes, you cannot


2) Yes, you cannot


3) Is it really that bothering? That was actually some kind of prep for some things that I was thinking to add.


4) Well, yeah.

If you stand in front of a door and press the action button without facing the door, you will still be transported inside the door


Knocking on Rio's room at night will give you a message saying "SHE is sleeping" (unless implying Rio is a girl)

1) All doors?


2) Yes, she is a girl, in case the sprite isn't clear.


Thanks for playing it.
