Limb

Cool concept, bad execution. The game is not built around the main feature of the game, which was the main draw for me. I feel like this game is based on an older game with a very similar colour pallete and system, however everything this other game did was better than how this one was made. Its actually pretty easy to make this game's main feature actually function as a fun gimmick. First of all, make more things make sound! Once of the biggest disadvantages about this sound gimmick is that once you are forced to go silent, you are blind, completely. This is a really big problem when the bad guy is nearby, since you don't know where it is or your surrounding terrain. Since you can hear the enemy move around, why not let it make noise with each footstep like you do? Also throwables like mugs or plates would make everything so much easier, especially since the enemy will target the latest sound made. An added bonus would be to make the single bad guy not lock onto you after you make too much noise nearby him, either make him sprint to the last heard sound, or keep him locked onto you as long as you make noise or when you are in his sound radius or something. Currently the gimm…

Limb is very scary but it definitely needs a tutorial level to tell you the main selling point. How to echo locate in the game. I eventually did figure out how to echolocate but i couldn't figure out what to do and kept dying to the monster. scary experience but hard to figure out what to do 6/10

While I do have some negative points regarding the game as of right now, I LOVE the concept. Once you get your mic calibrated (it's not as easy as one would think, but some trial and error goes a long way until a better mechanism is introduced) you can control your voice to either see down a whole hallway or all the way down to basically being invisible. The whole point, escape this... umm... building? So... onto the not so great stuff: -You have to find items to progress, but there's no way to figure out where they are and seemingly closets/drawers do not open. It makes the game quite monotonous as you hunt room by room, hallway by hallway, as the enemy stalks you. Perhaps make the items glow a little? At least have something in each hallway or so, that way you feel actual progression. -Instakill is pretty silly considering the enemy only has a torso and legs. Is it sweating on me? -Kinda mentioned before, but the microphone calibration is really bad. There's a slider for mic volume and "mic sensitivity" which neither were doing much for me until I restarted the game. I think it would be good to set up a tutorial where you can test out your voice looking down a hallway and a s…

Really wanted to try the game but it just won't pick up my mic well enough, I tried a bunch of different settings but no matter what it just won't pick up my mic unless I scream while eating it.
