!!SPOILERS LATER IN REVIEW!! I like the idea of a live game in which you have no control of and are purely a spectator. In this case, however, there were only really like four cameras you had to cycle through, and it's not very responsive so me personally, I missed some things. in terms of achievements, aren't they basically just luck based? wasn't explained very well. lore was good, understood most of it: [spoiler]you are the director/stream representative of an organisation that puts on a live version of hide & seek in which the hider is a kidnappee and the seeker is a member. as more viewers tune in you realize they're not really there for the show, it's like having sports on a tv in a bar.[/spoiler] 7/10 good bones, get on sale if you're looking to buy, I can appreciate the idea without enjoying the execution.

Admittedly couldn't finish the game but I tried my best. Some secondary gameplay element or a faster payoff for the player's patience would do wonders for this game. It felt like there was just nothing happening on any of the camera feeds for 90% of my play-time. I do like the atmosphere but it felt like I hit a brick wall where I stopped. Nothing happened for like 3 straight minutes and I was actually getting drowsy. A good little cinematic experience might've been here if it didn't feel so insecure about being a 15 minute experience. Videos playing in 0.1x speed just isn't gripping me. Your other projects look really promising though so I hope you keep at it. Demon Stick looks pretty cool.

Gutter trash, money better spent at McDonalds on microwaved fast food.
