Jack is a strong name - just look at the powerhouses of Jack Nicholson, Jack Reacher, Jack Palance and Jack(ie) Chan.
I enjoyed the premise of Dead Faces, with the chapters of the four characters located in the rooms of the apartment. Attention to detail with being able to pick up pretty much every item was noted, and could have spent an hour just looking at the books in the bookshelf for some hidden easter eggs. (Metallica!) Intrigued to find out more about Jack and how he has (maybe) hurt the other four characters in the game. Got caught with a jump scare in the above play-though, but thought the Tall Man was a little goofy and felt like he wanted to give me some cookies or just play with me. Looking forward to the full release - just saw the update so roll on February!
Pros:
Great atmosphere and left me wanting to find out more
Attention to detail with all the objects in the game and how you can interact with them is impressive. Bar above most games of this genre.
Sound design/foley work is eerie and keeps the player listening for clues, etc.
Cons:
Could just be for this prologue demo, but thought the amount of jump scares was starting to be thrown around a little willy nilly.
Seems to be a lot of time of being stuck in the rooms with the forcefields without anything happening - would reduce the time for pacing/flow issues.
Would make the Tall Man a little more threatening...
I made an account just to say I really like this demo and it’s very creepy! I would love to know the song that you use on your title screen, it’s really good C:
This was a really scary game to play ngl. Can't wait for the full game to be released because it seems like you have a really interesting story cooking. Great game, incredible work.
In itself, the game is very good (although I only played the demo), graphically very acceptable; but a few details: The sensitivity, even if I set it to the minimum, remains excessively high, not low, and the fisheye (or wide angle) effect is very noticeable, and if we add both, they make me dizzy and hurt my eyes; Maybe this only happens to me, or because I play the demo, but it is worth keeping in mind.
Going into a pretty good direction! There are some space for improvement, but for a demo it's pretty good! I made a short review of it at minute 23 if you're interested =)
I super big enjoyed it. Very scary. I did find a bug, not sure if you caught it yet. Got stuck on the sink in the bathroom. Thanks for the game and looking forward to the full version(s)!
This was a very nice experience to do. I was confused at times so maybe an indicator after a player is lost for a few minutes would be nice but it was cool and scary to explore!
This was one hell of a good demo (despite me taking far too long to figure out what I had to do hahah). And I applaud you for making a body cam game that doesn't induce motion sickness, great job on that aspect. Can't wait to see a full release of this so keep up the good work! Your games starts at 16:17 on my video if you want to check out the embarrassingly long time it took me to progress in the game XD
Dead Faces: Los días parecen mezclarse a medida que poco a poco te olvidas del mundo fuera de tu apartamento, las visiones de personas que has conocido comienzan a atormentarte a través de alucinaciones cada vez peores, enfréntate a tu pasado a medida que pierdes gradualmente la cordura intentando recuperar tus recuerdos, muchas gracias por crear el juego, saludos a todos!!!!
I find it hard to wrap my mind around the fact of losing everything and everybody. Here in Japan, a man lost his entire family during a January 1st [2024] earthquake. After playing this game I think I know a little bit more about how devastating such a fact must be. As you stagger from one room to the next, while discovering more and more about your past, an ugly picture emerges of a history soaked in blood, faded memories and death. A companion we can all live and do without, but one that will visit you and me [one day] nonetheless. Playing this game will give you some idea of what that will look like, and believe you me, it ain't pretty...
I didn't run into any bugs, hiccups or other snags, so kudos to all involved, and thanks for making this great, great game!
