The mouse sensitivity was way too high, and it was almost impossible to play. When sensitivity was set all the way to 0, it was literally 0 and you could not move mouse. When you moved it by 1 pixel to the right, it was so high that tiny mouse movement turned the character 180 degrees. But I was still able to finish it even though the struggles! I think the fact that the wall was moving towards you while reading text was bad design choice: You gained \"edge\" for skipping dialog. Also it was very annoying, that there was volume slider but no sound! \n\nOverall still very nice game, I liked it. <3","format":"md","likes":1,"spam":"N"},{"id":1150897,"author_name":"X2SHADOW","author_uid":"x2shadow","epoch":1744624266,"text":"@martta Thank you for the detailed feedback! \nI apologize for the technical difficulties.

The game can be developed into a very addictive and story DEEP adventure game. Audio is a bit quiet and the high mouse sensitivity gets in the way. The main menu seems to have settings, but copy and drag them to a popup window (that appears by pressing esc) would probably solve these problems. Increasing the upper threshold for the audio settings would also be nice.
