What is the game about?

You are a slightly crazy person, you collect masks from dead people, dead because of you, if anything.

Your task - find targets with the masks you need and the only method you understand. Be careful, the police know about your actions and will try to arrest you image.png

The "Press F to Kill" seems broken, so can't really experience the game beyond walking around, but looks interesting!

EDIT: It does appear to work, however the in-game instructions do not mention anything about a highlighted person (it simply says "F - kill") which makes it very unclear who you're supposed to search for.

Главная механика игры вообще не работает. Графика необычная, красивая. Полиция арестует даже когда ты ничего не сделал и в первые же секунды игры

The mechanics of killing ARE WORKING. It's just that you don't have to kill everyone, but rather UNIQUE targets (as written in the training). Please do not mislead each other and read the instructions carefully.

Механика убийства РАБОТАЕТ. Просто убивать надо не всех подряд, а УНИКАЛЬНЫЕ цели (как написано в обучении). Пожалуйста, не вводите друг друга в заблуждение и внимательно читайте инструкцию.

Игра супер, но есть несколько басящих моментов: (БЕЗ НЕГАТИВА)

Кривая колизия - через некоторые объекты я проходил насквозь (не знаю как у вас это реализовано, но можно было просто в объект сунуть куб и просто сделать его невидимым)

Охрана очень быстро ходит (особенно бесит когда ты её не видишь из-за статичной камеры)

А так то игра с изюминкой, не хватает какого-нибудь саунд трека на фоне и шакального фильтра локации (я уже мечтаю, но было бы прикольно сделать какойто эффект как у слендера при приближении охранника)

Если честно вообще непонятно кого убивать, но игра выглядит интересно. Мне понравились арты и сам геймплей

@kiselle Большое спасибо за отзыв!

Хотела чуть прояснить по поводу коллизии. Есть объекты по типу деревьев, у которых мы убрали коллизию для того, чтобы она не мешала камере и дала игроку чуть больше пространства для передвижения. А есть объекты по типу лавочек, которые пришлось полностью закрыть т.к. "полицейские" застревали в них, а делать их прозрачными не хотелось.

i really like the main idea and the visuals of the game but i think it would be better if u made it darker. like it would make lights stand out more and add more atmosphere to the game cause now it looks a lil bland. overall great job😶‍🌫️

Loved it! Didn't have it in me to finish the game, because i kept getting caught in the 3rd level, and speedrunning back to that point just frustrated me too much at this point... Art was really good in-game and still pictures were cool!

Idea of you collecting faces from your victims is awesome! Cheers 🥂

I really like the concept of collecting faces! I struggled a bit to find the right target, but it was pretty fun. The atmosphere of the game, with the rain and that eerie static noise, is really cool

@maksim-shalaev Thanks for the feedback!

You can`t attack NPCs, you can only attack a specific target that is highlighted. There are 3 objectives in the game, one for each level. Have a good game!

Unfortunately, I couldn’t find where to download the game — I don’t see a link on Itch.io :(

Простенькая игра, но в целом молодцы. Тут можно миллион QoL фичей ещё добавить/улучшить, но что уже есть, то есть + некоторые из них уже были озвучены выше.

Cool game! Spooky. Not having camera controls made playing a bit difficult.

Really cool concept and art style! The mood as you search the streets for your target with just the radio static informing you of the nearby ops is great. Like others have said, the fixed camera angle can be both a cool stylistic choice but also a bit limiting in the sense of ops being able to run into you off camera from the south side of the screen. Really nice work!

Concept is good overall is pretty good, need to polish a bit and fix collisions. But its really a good platform to expand.
