Hmm, well I started playing this today and I have to say, the atmosphere is awesome. I really like how it's looking so far. However, I feel a little amateurish saying this, but I keep dying in the park in the very beginning after Ellie and Chris leave you, right when that monster shows up simply because I can't find out where to go. I tried examining the wall that Alexis said was irregular, and I explored the rest of the map, and didn't find anything. I must be missing something... maybe I should just turn up the brightness on my screen?

EDIT: Never mind, I found out where I was supposed to go. The sewer was awfully fucking elusive. But in the meantime, I found that you can completely avoid that monster just by walking along the bottom of the wall. Was that intentional, or did I catch a bug?

Thank you, I'm glad that I was able to accomplish what I set out for.

Hm. I'll take that into consideration. Perhaps I should make the player run right for a few steps?

Wow. I was not aware of that bug. I'll definitely have to check that out. That's ... really really weird. o_o

Arcanum, use spoilers when you're talking about parts of the game like that :P I've just got round to downloading it now. I must say, it's putting me of even trying to finish some of my my games upto now. You work so fast and effectively!

I think for the time being ill stick with my "supplying others with resources" mode.

Awesome work though, man. Really!

Thank you, but Crepusculum wasn't created very quickly at all ... Haha. It took a long time, and was put into a lot of extra development time in order to make it work well with the sequel. (Please take a look at the thread I just made sometime ...) I hope you enjoy it! It's something I've worked very, very hard on.

To everyone who has completed the game: I really want to know your opinion on the storyline. Of course, many of you may be very confused, and its entirely possible to play through the entire game and not understand half of what has happened. But I'd like to know, what do you think?
 
I know I missed something at the park. It felt like the story moved too fast. One minute your running from monsters and next your trying to save a girl you just met.
 
If you were in a situation where there were only monsters in the town, but you come upon another human would you try to save them? I would. Who knows what they're useful for. (Realistic side of me.)

The story, I honestly liked it. Haven't beaten the last boss yet so I can't say anything past that yet. I like story book though. Of course you know that it isn't a children's book.

If you suddenly came across a small child, all alone and seperated from her family, would you try to save her? Alexis' first inclination is to get out of there, she's not really looking for Ellie, she's looking for a way out of the park. But after she comes across her in the sewers she realizes its her duty to protect the girl.

That's good, but you should definitely try and defeat the final boss! And yes, it is not a children's book. I've edited it so Alexis comes to the conclusion herself after attaining the final page.

I would have more to say about this game If I was able to get through the first part... :(

Need help?
 
Ratty may be referring to this...:

This is where my game froze, and it won't go any further... I'm guessing you missed my edited post earlier CERU.

If not, then I have no idea why Ratty can't get further. But I'm certainly having that problem... it may be related to the weird bug with me completely avoiding that monster in the park, but I doubt it.

How strange. I'm going to playtest it personally now and see what seems to be the problem because that shouldn't be happening.

Did you download ver 1.3?
 
I assume version 1.3 is the link in your first post that was there yesterday... if so, yes I did. I downloaded this yesterday. This is very weird for sure.

I'm going to test play right now, thank you for informing me.
 
Hehe! I'll get there! I just seem to enjoy replaying everything up to that part. I'm determined to try and get through the game (waiting for the new version) without using any herbs.

I've just fixed the error. You now have to run to the door yourself. So new version coming soon. Lol. (it seems that just when I release a version a new problem pops up ugh).

The game does not punish you if you use less than three herbs. So try to get through using two herbs. And different types of herbs have different types of icons. There are only three. One heals about twice as much as another.

Good, btw the part I'm stuck on is just figuring out how to get out of that apartment, it's a game-stuck more than an bug-stuck. I might figure it out eventually.

*grins* I'll keep that in mind. I want to get that grade A ending!

Lol I want you to too! Also, I've added another secret note. So if you can unlock a certain cutscene, you can get the note as well.
