Only thing maybe worth changing is making the people run a little slower when they're running away - since they run the same speed\/faster than the player it's pretty much pointless to chase them, where as I think encouraging that final chase through the halls would be fun (maybe even make speed proportional to health?)"},{"author_name":"Oreganik","author_uid":"12485","time":"Dec 18, 2012 @ 10:25pm","epoch":1355869200,"text":"I like the vision mechanic, even if the villain moves a bit slowly, and the music was absolutely PERFECT. I also liked the fact there weren't one-hit kills: you sort of had to "buy-in" to the evil act.

The whole thing felt incredibly sinister, the field of vision fed into that really well too, I felt like a genuine serial killer lurking in alleyways waiting to strike. I think you've got a lot right with this game, well done"},{"author_name":"Spotlightor Gao","author_uid":"3035","time":"Dec 19, 2012 @ 7:28am","epoch":1355901780,"text":"Great concept.
