  • Also, please don’t have 20 doors that rattle, causing the MC say, ‘It’s locked!’ when there exists no key in the game that will ever open that door.

    This results in dim bastards like me finding a key and trying it on every door I’ve encountered while dodging the charming pig man that you totally didn’t steal from another game.

    It’s irrational, but innate.

    Jumping could have absolutely no use in the story you are telling, but once I smash Space and nothing happens you have immediately earned a 4 star at best.

    Same goes for no fast walk/shift sprint.

    Don’t punish fast readers/imprison players in your narrative if you want them to finish the game.



  • I just wish developers of narrative walking simulators would put more work into showing where you can’t go. If I was walking through a haunted asylum with a demon pig man chasing me down a dingy corridor, a couple over turned office chairs and some disarrayed stationary should not block a possible path of egress.

    Give me some proper rubble, or a pool of lava, or something.

    Edit: I really told the Internet what I felt about walking simulators. Feel free to ignore the rest of this tirade. I’ve just experienced too much 'Walk from point A to Point B while you listen to the voice acting we spent 90% of our budget on.
