Project Sakura

I know, I know. Early access stuff. Even then, most EA games I've played were better than this. Unfortunately, there's too many cons in this game for me to recommend. Pros: - Free costumes/accessories (no need to finish the game) Cons: - The aim mechanic is horrible, there's so much sway that it makes you want to just close in and shoot the body instead of the head. Even a toddler with a toy gun can aim better. Sometimes, the shots don't even hit even though you're aiming straight at a zombie. - Melee is bad. At least let us have the option of using right click to ready the weapon and left click to swing. - FPS Optimization needs a ton of work. I can play graphic-demanding games on high, but somehow this game can't even reach 60fps even on low. - Can't rebind keys. Who the hell decided that BACKSPACE should be how you access the pause menu, and arrow keys to change weapons/use items? - The animations are very rough, the MC moves and runs like a dude on steroids - The stamina bar reminds me of phasmophobia's run stamina, Non-existent. - The puzzles need a rework or a complete overhaul. I had to look up walkthroughs just because the order of numbers do not correspond to the clues…

the meiee combat is horrible fortunatly there's no need to use it, and at the end the weapon wouldnt work at all, watch @ 48mins40secs to see. FULL GAME SPOILER https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFM9D--OO-E Most of the trailer on the steam page that made the game look amazing is NOT included in this chapter. So when is the next chaper available and will we have to pay for it ? I did like the game but it needs some updates. Also it could use a mouse sensitivity slider and making the trailer mostly a chaper you don't get was deceiving

I think game has potential! I think it just needs more time in the oven as its a bit janky and needs optimized really badly. With my specs I can barely reach 50-55 FPS. I'll come back to it next year and see how far the dev has come.

Game has some major framerate issues. voice acting is meh the combat is bad but overall its in early access so i am looking forward to see the future of the game

I am really looking forward to future developments. Meow :3

Not Recommended (for now) - Early Access, played through Chapter 1 Project Sakura has a genuinely good idea buried in it. The "zombies" here aren't dead: the Kagebito are people whose good emotions were erased while their intelligence stayed intact. That's a great horror premise, and in a few moments the game actually lands it. The unsent love letter on a dead man's phone in the convenience store parking lot, the woman's phone across the lot that answers it, and a phone call to your best friend picked up by someone who calmly says "Yuna is fine" - those scenes stuck with me more than anything else in the chapter. The problem is everything around those moments. - Performance. The FPS was rough for me, and it drags everything down. This game can look beautiful - cherry trees, rainy neon alleys, the sunset streets - but it's hard to enjoy any of it when it doesn't run smoothly. - The cutscenes just weren't it. They should be where the story hits hardest, but they felt stiff and choppy, and the big moments lost their weight. - The subtitles sit in a huge black bar across the screen that covers a big chunk of the view during dialogue. On top of that, objective banners ("GO TO…
