Feel in love with the art style immediately. The story is intriguing cant wait to play the full game! There is only one critics that I can give is the lack of sound effects. For example when it said the door slams behind me as soon as I entered the house, feels empty without sounds to emphasize it. But that is just my opinion the game is still amazing! Thanks for the Demo!
Ahh thank you so much for playing! I also appreciate your feedback! I had limited resources for the demo, but i'll deff be trying to add more sound effects where I can so the game can be a more immersive! ^_^
good art and interesting premise, but I feel that it truly would have been better if the main character were human, the main character actually being a wolf or dog or whatever doesn't really add to the horror, in fact I would go so far as to say it takes away from it. some of the best horror is good because our mind can find something to relate to or latch on to, so if we feel that we as a human are being treated like dogs we feel mistreated or demeaned, but if we feel that we ARE dogs and are being treated as such we feel prideful, also just the fact that the MC is a dog could be a good artistic choice, but only for like an intro, and don't make it seem like a fanfic, this is a horror game and shouldn't be taken so lightly. the monster design was great btw.
I should also say that I'm not trying to be mean, I think you are very talented and this has huge potential, also not saying you need to rewrite your whole game or anything, just trying to give some pointers if you're open to them.
Perhaps, after you've played the full game in the future, you will think differently about my choice to have a vulnerable, small creature surrounded by horrors he knows almost nothing about. Try expanding your ideas on horror a little, because unfortunately, the story is not about you putting your feet in Basil's paws. This is his and Dove's story, and there is still so much to unravel beyond the demo. I don't expect the main character's position to be everyone's cup of tea, but I quite disagree that it adds nothing to the horror.
Thank you for your compliments, horror is quite a passion of mine, but the point of it is not always to make you terrified. Thank you for taking the time to play my demo and share your thoughts! Also i've read fanfics better that printed novels, so please don't look down on them.
I'm gonna replay your game again real fast, I remember not really being able to deal with it for very long which at the time I thought was because of the main character choice, but I think may have been more about the overall feel to the story, which was distinctly lacking in horror for me and felt more like a tragedy
Congrats on getting featured! So well deserved. I've always admired your art from afar and this gothic lil' tale is so very, very striking. Really enjoyed it!! :) <3
YOO thank you so much i really appreciate that coming from you!! I'm over the moon you enjoyed the demo!! I've been wanting to check out poetry in purgatory for so long I can't wait to play it! :D
Well of course I did!! :D And AWW that's awesome to hear, I hope you'll enjoy it! Would love to hear what you think when/if you get a chance to try it out. :) <3
that was beautiful the art and story left me craving more the colour palate of grey and red really highlight the difference of the white ghost while the red still ties her in and while dove is the same colour she is outlined in black so she fits in but she still appears important. Amazing work!!!
This demo is suuuuupeeer awesome so far I'm in love with hand drawn art style. All the ghosts are delightfully creepy and cool, and I'm super interested in all the secrets and mystery of Dove and the house she's in. Really great stuff, can't wait for more!!
This was an amazing experience, incredibly moody and atmospheric, I was drawn in from the first minutes. What a gorgeous art style and character designs, too!!
Very much looking forward to the finished game, whenever it may come!
I finally got the chance to play the extended demo and I am in love!! Dove is such a compelling character, and I'm completely enthralled by your monster designs (and the art in general my god??). So excited to see what comes next!
Seriously speaking, the artwork and setting is incredible! The raw emotion behind the story is great and I was on the edge of my seat for the entire game. I'm excited to see where this tale goes ^^
