Until Dawn

I wrote my previous post before getting to the gear platforming, but wow. The thing I mentioned about activating the fall animation when running up or down slopes made that incredibly difficult. There also appears to be a glitch where there's a very good chance the character will run by itself, without input, after recovering from a fall on one of the gears, or even just after jumping onto the slope of one. This made the jump onto that single small gear impossible. Any other game with clean platforming this might take me a couple tries, but I've died at lead 40 times trying to get past here and none of them feel like my fault; I can't express to you how annoying it is to clearly make the jump onto the small gear and just have her fly into the air and run right off without any input on my end, forcing me to kill myself and start over. This is game breaking.

Quite a bit of fun but the controls are extremely touchy and occasionally sticky. I made it to the fountain and found myself running over and over without touching neither Q nor shift. All in all though it will be fun once ironed out.

I like the art and style (though the title screen doesn't show this at all and almost made me avoid this game). I love the gameplay and narrative (especially the guard complaining about the boiler and having the conversation fade as you move), but the animation can take me out of it at some points (the climbing animation isn't smooth and can't be cancelled) and some specific combination of mechanics can be annoying (running up stairs and stopping abruptly makes the character fly up and trip when they land, one time when I turned around while running up stairs I fell to my death... running down stairs also often results in stumbling as if from a fall). There are some glitchy bits, like the guard dog's animation stuck in the sitting position while running, making him sit-slide backwards when he turned around, but playing this game was a better experience than the top-rated knockoff games on the front page - it was fun. Well done.

Avoided all arrows just for a fall to death...

Magnificent game
