history
Okay so I completed the three first levels.

I'm a bit conflicted about this map. It has a cool defined brutalist visual approach, it has procedural level generation, cool ass models, custom monster behavior... Overall highly technical stuff!

But the core of gameplay... It didn't click for me.
First, the atmosphere feels very empty without ambiance sounds or particles. The main gameplay of just running around in looong corridors gets stale very quickly. Maybe it gets better later, but first 3 levels have to convince me... In your dev video you play an ambiance in the background. That would instantly create a mood in game!

The encounters with the monsters (i got crawler thing, shy guy, tall creepy man & the children) felt a bit underwhelming... In this setup, you just randomly encounter them (sometimes they litterally spawn behind you) without any anticipation...
What I believe would work great is having hints about their presence first, and clues about how to survive scattered in said level. Add a story to the levels. What happened there ?

Having a portal send you to a level without even naming a place and just telling me to 'do this' doesn't really put me in a story... Really, where am I ? Your creatures are amazing, so having levels happening in very distinctive parts of a complex would have worked amazingly ; like a level in a hospital maternity for the children for instance. Right now, the levels (at least the first 3) felt like an excuse to encounter some creatures, when it should be the opposite. The procedural aspect too makes the levels very undistinguishable, and even in the 3 first levels I felt a deja-vu multiple times.

Last thing, the lobby. With that immense space, you could have had all the entrances to the future levels there, that only open after the previous level has been completed. Also why is the shop hidden like that ? lol

In short, I think the map has a very unique cool dinstinctive visual idea, and a great list of monsters to encounter. But the barren level design and lack of story or anticipation doesn't allow me to really resonate with what I'm doing.
Anyway, If you ever happen to make another project, I'd love to help with playtests or even doing sound design, which is crucial for horror to me. Cheers

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. I absolutely agree that the lack of sound design is a big shortcoming of this project. The mob spawning mechanics are also very janky, as they're based around armour stands that are randomly positioned in the map. There is probably a much more efficient way I could've coded that, however that is development for future games.

As for storyline, there is a series of journal entries you can find around the map, usually located close to your goals, which tells the story of the inhumane experiments that happened there, which led to the monsters that you now face. There is also some text in the lobby explaining why the player is there.

The lobby shop is poorly placed I agree however it felt like the right spot to put it in, nestled away down by the train tracks. However from a gameplay perspective I completely understand how that could be frustrating.

I think I put too much emphasis on the procedural generation of the levels, when in reality I should've preconstructed them manually to be more user friendly to the player and to give each level a distinct theme.

thank you again for the feedback, it's rare to hear what people actually think of the maps I make :)

When you say Maze, is that actually what the gameplay is based around ? I generally don't enjoy mazes..

the gameplay is based around finding things hidden in a maze-like structure whilst avoiding monsters. The mazes start off easy like a confusing building layout but then become harder as the levels progress.

Seriously, this game is so cool! I'm wondering though, is it a game mechanic or a bug that after completing a level, your vision is bright until you die? Also I want to know what the radio does?
