    I feel like some details (e.g. what water looks like or how the boxes explode once you hit them) are a bit over the top, but overall I'd say it does capture the vibe of the old horror games and seems fun

    • @thebluescaptain
      @thebluescaptain 3 года назад +4

      There's a similar kind of indie game which length is 10 minutes and less complicated than this. The dev was pretty interactive and he said he made it in about 2 weeks. Imagine how long did they make this game. Though, depends on how many employees are there.

  • @thesidneychan
    @thesidneychan 3 года назад +39

    It emulates some of the old style well, but somehow takes most of the worst aspects of the older games. That sewer level does not look fun, the door animations are grating, and there's a lack of character commentary (no clicking on objects and reading the character's thoughts). It's just moving from one place to another without any sense of urgency or motivation.

    • @MiiNiPaa
      @MiiNiPaa 3 года назад +9

      I agree. Combat system looks unpolished: most games of that era _balanced_ game around console limitations. Here it seems that it is virtually impossible to kill a normal enemy without getting hit. Not telegraping attacks for you to evade, nothing. There are multiple games to learn from: Resident Evil trilogy, Dino Crisis 1 and Silent Hill for survival horror-style combat. Nightmare Creatures for hack-and-slash combat, Dino Crisis 2 and Parasite Eve 2 for action combat, Syphon Filter for movie shooting...
      And yes, not using character commentary to make up for limitations in enviromental storytelling. Like most classic survival horror games used. Or just use monologue and cutscenes like Soul Reaver did.
      Door opening was almost exclusively used by Capcom to hide level loading, other studios used other approaches (from simply shoving loading screen on player to preloading parts of neighbour locations to make transition smooth)
      It honestly look like a someones first game on some free game constructor would look in that era.

      ALl the box breaking also is a little too much overdone. Whats the purpose of boxes? Just have the item with an little shine to it somewhere in the level that makes sense like RE1, 2, 3 and code veronica did.

  • @muchhorrorsuchwow
    @muchhorrorsuchwow 3 года назад +31

    They clearly love the old hunters DLC, but I think a boss gauge felt a little out of place for the style of game they're going for. Maybe some notes/diaries referencing the beasts could of worked instead imo. Just a minor gripe.
    That being said Looks neat, and appreciate creators tackling more sea related horror.

    • @Irreverent_bob

      As much as I love bloodborne (favorite game ever made) I think they’re more referencing shadow over innsmouth, which I’m sure you’ve heard of especially with you being into bloodborne. Just about everything in fishing hamlet is a reference to that story

  • @slydogg9692
    @slydogg9692 3 года назад +2

    Given that the game was made (at the developer's admission) in 30 days for a gamejam (HPS1 Summer of Shivers), with the developer being a mostly solo dev as far as I can tell, I'd say he did a damn fine job given the circumstances. A few more months of work and polish could result in something greater.

    Hot damn, they actually brought back tank controls? I'm all for nostalgia, but tank controls are one of the few things I don't miss. Love the camera angles though. I think it's part of the artwork to be able to frame areas in such a way that is both atmospheric while still giving the player the view that's necessary to navigate the area.

    • @georgeofhamilton
      @georgeofhamilton 3 года назад +3

      What’s wrong with tank controls? I ask because people seem to have different ideas on what tank controls actually are. I’ve heard that they’re the only usable controls in fixed-camera third-person perspectives.

    • @SadFace201
      @SadFace201 3 года назад

      @@georgeofhamilton Oh, I just personally can't get used to them. From my understanding, tank controls are where left and right turn your character and forward and backward actually move your character, necessitating turning first before moving when changing your trajectory.
      I much prefer just using the analog stick for smoother and more rapid movements. In 3rd person fixed-camera games, the issue of perspectives changing the orientation of how you're supposed to push your analog stick can be remedied by just having the game remember the last movement even when the camera changes. I can't remember off the top of my head which game does that, but I believe it's been done before.

  • @TheHorizonRise...
    @TheHorizonRise... 2 года назад

    If you don't know how to get the good ending, let me explain to you because you got the bad ending.
    1. Equip your axe.
    2. Hit the energy ball with the axe to reflect it back at him. (He'll start to reflect it back at you though so reflect it as much as possible until it hits the boss)
    3. Once you've successfully stunned him with the energy ball, grab out any gun and start shooting him.
    4. Repeat the same method.
    NOTE: I only watched a walkthrough. please do not mistaken this as if I've played the game before.
