Umbral Soul

No problem. I'm enjoying it quite a bit overall, mostly for the story and not the gameplay.

Umbral Soul

So I played it for about an hour. It's pretty good, but I think it could be better. I think you could develop Luke and Pandora's relationship a bit more, perhaps with some gameplay elements, and you'd have a much more effective "fall". It feels rushed as it is, mainly because it's part of an abridged prologue. Exploration could be encouraged/rewarded a bit more, mapping could be improved significantly, the music selection is inconsistent both in tone and quality, there are no shops or healing items in the first area, and there are some spelling/punctuation errors.

With that said, the game has a ton of positives. Pandora is quite interesting. I can feel your enthusiasm in the writing, down the very last NPC in the towns. I love the open-ended world map. Combat is overall pretty good, but the balancing seems a bit off at points. I'll finish it and write a detailed review when I get a chance.

My first impression is 3.5 stars, but it's very intriguing and I'm gonna keep playing: I hear it gets better.

9 5-star reviews. Wow! I'm gonna have to play and review this and see how it holds up.

lol you forgot the "review drama" level.

I miss those days tbh

The windows are fine. The carpet autotiles are kind of annoying, I agree, and should probably be changed to fill up the entire tile space.

Also, I think we'll need to edit the wall torches at some point. Hmm.

CHECK YOUR STAGES

how are things going
