NECROMATICDANCER'S PROFILE

I wait with baited breath for the finished game <3 Loved the demo

1. What do you think of the game so far?

I loved it. Very different from Ib, Mad Father, and The Witches House, but it carries on a similar theme. I also love the lack of jumpscares although one or two would be nice. I loved the storyline, Even though we only get a glimpse of it from the demo. I also loved the ambiance of the entire thing, although on some parts, such as The Princess's, Towards the end the music should probably be a little more darker, or frantic, maybe like a twisted music box?


2. Who are generally your favorite characters, and why?
Typically the ones who are dark and secretive, or have a hidden intent for good reasons. I also tend to like the strong willed and brave kind.


3. What are some questions you want answered the most in the full game?

1. What happened in their pasts? What did the Princess do? What happened to Mikas parents and how did she end up being tortured and imprisoned? What caused Emphy to die? Where were her parents? What happened to Lenne... What is the 'Goddess', how is her heir chosen? Also, shouldn't the "Can't kill Humans' rule not apply if said human is trying to kill you? So many questions.

4. What do you predict are answers to these questions?

Er. I have a feeling the princess ended up having to actually kill people to protect herself or someone. Uhm, its alluded that Mika's dad committed suicide to be with her Mother, but I'm going to assume that her mother was taken and eventually killed by the same people who captured Mika, or she died from an illness, or from breaking the rule.

I'll also assume that Emphy got killed by the 'things'. And other then that I don't know.


5. Which characters do you find the most curious or interesting? (Can overlap with #1)

I can't choose actually. This game and the characters all interest me. It's a hard one, but I think I liked all three of them equally, but if I had to choose, I think Its a Tie between the Princess, due to her personality, and Mika, due to her bravery.


6. What do you generally think of the story so far?
It's very, very interesting and unlike most games I've seen approached this way and It really hooks you and pulls you in. While on the surface all appears well, there are underlying plots and dark, morbid tones that people tend to miss or overlook and are lured into a false sense of "oh hey this wont be so bad" Before the true nature comes out. And I love it, because while it twists and turns from one to the other, its done perfectly in sync. Not too much gore, or the typical Horror approach, but very psychological Horror.

7. What particular scene(s) did you like in the demo?
Uhm, I didn't have a particular favorite scene, but If I must choose, probably the very beginning where Mika and her mother are talking and then after that, probably in the Princess's chapter where she reads Lennes journal and their little talk after that. It was cute.

8. Favorite chapter and protagonist?
Either chapter 1, or chapter 3, and The Princess or Mika. I like them both.

9. … Pairings/Ships, do you have any?

If there must be a ship, probably Princess / Lennie, or Lennie / Euphy and Mika / Dai. I can't really say for sure lol.

10. Was it scary?
In the sense of "Did this scare you", No, not really as I don't get easily scared. Maybe if the music was different in some parts, to give ambiance. But, at the same time this game is very terrifying. Not because of the gameplay but because it does make a lot of sense if you look at some themes in the game vs the real world. The overzelot religious nutjobs for example, and also because, human beings can wear a friendly face but stab you in the back within seconds. It's also a bit of an eye-opener with the whole 'Ignorance is Bliss' theme, because we tend to see what we want to see rather then the bad things that happen.

I don't know if that was the intent, but thats probably the best explanation I can think of in answer to the question.

11. What’s your favourite part to play through?
Hmm, probably the Pricess's chapter so far, considering how quickly it goes from light and happy to dark and morbid.

12. Take a random screenshot!

Sadly my printscreen button stopped working or I would. Instead I'll leave a parting comment.

While, this game isn't scary in the whole "Jumpscare/Gruesome/really freaks you out" area yet, the finished product may meet that criteria. However, I think this game has a more Psychological Horror theme to it then the typical straight out scary horror so many games try to give off, (Some failing to do so, some succeeding), but to me, it does fit in perfectly with the Ib/Mad Father / The Witches House theme. Honestly, I'd even say something like this could be a squeal to the witches house, but others may not agree. In the end, I love it, and I'm looking forward to the full game and I'd love to feature a let's play of it. I also love the direction it's taken in the theme of Horror, but consider adding darker or more 'ambient' music in some places, something that gives you chills or apprehension, that makes you think something really bad is about to pop out or happen, maybe even have the music pop out in totally random places where nothing bad will happen to give a false sense of alarm? Either way, I defiantly am looking forward to the full game.

<3 I loved this demo, when it comes out in full I'd like to do a let's Play of it if I may :3
