Grounded

Finally, I can make a review for this game!! It's my first time reviewing game, so bear with it :)

Background
I didn't know why but this game' cover picture was in my facebook' home. The summary was inviting, a survival horror type of game in a hospital!! I was eager to play it. not to mention there's a doctor too!!

Graphics & Artwork : 3.5/5
The map seems clear and nice. I love the artwork of the character too!(the one in the right of the map). The lighting' effect's good too, making me thinking twice to explore the dark room. But here's a suggestion : I'll give you 5/5 if there's any change of emotion on character's artwork based on dialogue and (I know I'm very oddly perfectionist here, sorry) if the avatar appearance match the artwork ( I see that Scarlet' hair was purple on the artwork, but it was black on the avatar). Oh, some CGs will be great too! (maybe in the ending)

Background Music & Effects (Audio) : 3/5
The sounds of our footsteps is one of my favorite things on this game. It gave a scary atmosphere on its way. The ticking clock, too, it was annoying and made me want Scarlet got out as soon as possible. As the other say, I just heard 2 BGM, on the cover and on the final chase. Here's suggestion : though it's a horror game, I thought it wouldn't be hurt to add some more BGM, especially on special scenes or when there's any cut-scene ( I hope there's any in the 2.0 version), and in the end of the game. But the music itself should be picked carefully, picking the wrong BGM may ruin the scary atmosphere ( if there isn't any good BGM, then don't use it).

Story & Plot : 3.5/5
As I have said before, the summary was inviting. When I played it, and finished it one thing I wanted to say is : this game has awesome plot and twisted ending. The ending is beyond my expectation (really!!) and the 0.5 point for this part is because the ending is really fanfic-able heheheh. Here's suggestion : it'll be great if there are more choices, more ending,and more chasing! also about the hide and seek part, it'll be great if there's a punishment when player choose the wrong place to hide. Also, it will be great too if the story is longer and more complicated.

Playthrough : 3/5
Hm... I must say that the avatar movement was slow (especially on Dormitory 1). Since it's horror game, I suggest to make the avatar move quicker, especially if there will be more chasing scenes. About the puzzle, I think is simply good cause I'm already stuck in the first puzzle, and if the plot/story will be longer of course there should be more puzzle too! I struggled in most every part of chasing, since the chaser was in same speed with the character (really, it's good decision!), and the puzzle sometimes made me stuck too (like the first hint to find the vault key). Here's another suggestion : make the important things glowing and make a limit of our items, so the player should decide which items should be discarded when the items box full and the player should get a new thing

Summary
This is really great game. Remembering that this is a survival horror-type game, the players should be curious of their surrounding--since we have to get out as soon as possible but didn't have anything at beginning, yet should be aware of the danger that lurk us quietly and attack us suddenly.

Over All Scores : 3.25
Remembering it's the first game that the creator have ever made, it was totally awesome! Hope after you finished the 2.0 version, there's still a lot of interesting game that you'll make. Arigatou gozaimashita, for making this game and Ganbatte kudasai to make the 2.0 version! :D
