Dead Content [Full Game]A letter from Room 13
- Thread starter Xilef
- Start date
Dead content awaiting restoration.
I like it, short suspense filled games are always the best. But I have a few issues with it, please dont take these as offence:
For a small hotel, the rooms sure are freakin huge, combined with the walk speed, it was a bit frustrating.
From the start off, I wasn't sure which room was room 13, you need to make it stand out from the others, cobwebs, boxes piled up, a big '13' on the door, anything.
Anyway, Im goin to try and get all the different endings out of this game, and I really wanna know what that goramm switch behind the boxes does!

Yeah, or at least add a "faster speed or run button." It makes the suspense lesser when I'm bothered by a slow walk IMHO. :please:

Thx, but i understood it 2sec's after, so i shouldn't have post that post. 
And i really don't understand the end..
I've tryed both "Yes, and No".
But I really like this game. xD It gived me a real RMXP experience! :thumb:
Maybe i should try to come to that switch, but how? O_o :D

My one qualm with this is the walk speed. A lot of times you don't quite know where to go, and the main character's leisurely pace doesn't do much to help you there. Also, the hotel's theme is a little too overtly scary. With the soundtrack being what it was, I expected the hotel to be full of dead people.
Aside from that, I really like this game. It seems heavily influenced by Hotel Dusk, but that game is really good, and besides, I've been yearning for it ever since it was stolen with my DS.
Keep up the good work, dude!
EDIT: Alright, I "beat" the game (I just realized that it WAS the ending) and now I can give you my two cents.
With the way things are set up, you cannot, I repeat, CANNOT, have things set so that the ending sucks unless you search the place on your own beyond what's necessary to make the plot move forward. The player moves at a crawl. Halfway through the game, I was already hoping it would end. I understand the slow move speed's supposed to add realism and a touch of suspense, but it goes past that point and takes it roughly three miles too far. As it is, it seems like nothing but a shameless attempt to lengthen gameplay, and I know you didn't intend it like that.
My rambling point is that exploring the hotel is incredibly dull and slow-paced, and needing to explore every nook and cranny in hopes of finding the secret ending just makes things into a long slog that you'll wish would just end.
The storytelling is another thing I'd like to bring up; but I'll do so in spoilers.
And for goodness sakes, bump the move speed up half a notch! There's walking speed and then there's leisurely strolls down the boulevard; I doubt our hero's in the mood for the latter. XD
In addition, the choice box that comes up and prompts you to check an object is unnecessary and really annoying when you just want to look at something. If you're going to have choices, you're just blowing steam if those choices are just "do x" and "cancel." The choice box is only needed if you can do multiple things with a piece of terrain.
You've got about seven minutes of gameplay if you take out all the slow wandering; you should strive to make those the best seven minutes possible, you know?

The revelation is way too abrupt. The moment you realize something IS goin on beyond the usual murder-in-a-hotel spiel, the story's practically over. A skilled storyteller would reveal the bit about ghosts a little more gradually, y'know? Like, have diary pages scattered around... And read them verbatim! It's better for suspense if you read the actual entry instead of the general gist. Here's an example:
"'Oct. 22/07
The investigation is over; whatever they've decided, they've decided to leave things here well enough alone. Maybe they were a little spooked. I just hope they don't try and take the hotel away from me. It's all -- '
The rest of the entry has been torn off."
Like tat. Just reveal one or two details at a time, it'll hopefully motivate people to keep playing.
