Earthquake: Margarita School - Definitive Edition

⠀

There's a lot of genuinely good stuff here. The game's atmosphere is great, the graphics and textures are decent and the story is intriguing. And for a single person making this, it's certainly impressive! That being said, there are some issues that need to be fixed. This is, according to it's description, a 1,5 hour long game. But it took me almost 5 hours, over three seperate runs, to complete simply because a needed key early during the game did not spawn in correctly. The puzzles where alright for the most part, though difficult and confusing at times. The game also suffers from certain soundeffects being overtly loud. The Jumpscares feel random and most of them have no proper build-up. Depending on you, they may actually come off as comedic. The Monster(s)... they are barely used? I like what they do with the [Spoiler] "Bookhead Monster"[/spoiler] , but there's another entity that only appears once - with seemingly no connection to the story or explaination whatsoever - and is never seen again after. Likewise, the story isn't really complete. It's incoherent at best and there's a lot of questions remaining unanswered, especially about the actual ongoings we're supposed to…

Good with some good jumpscares. The puzzles can be a little tricky to figure it out but you need to play attention to figure how to solve them.

great
