Manor Gaulion DEMO RELEASED SCREENIES

[SkyeGU]

Spoiler below!

Oh man, you have the land water monster problem. Or at least it happened to me. After leaving the water and ascending the stairs to the door with the switch beside it in the Dungeon, I suddenly freaked out as I realized that the water monster was splashing through the air, up the stairs, and right behind me to kill me. It continued doing this even into the room with the water flowing down the wall (with the hole in the bricks). The only way to make it go away was to die and respawn without it.

Also, in the room with the giant ale keg (in the water in the Dungeon) you can climb the box in the water, jump on the shelves, jump on the keg, and jump over the wall. You get trapped, of course, but you can jump out of the level. And that's bad.

You had a nice creepy atmosphere going with the first two areas (especially the wardrobe that flies open. Freaked me out), but I think that the water monster detracts from that. It's unexplained, short, and a little bit frustrating because the water is just deep enough that boxes bob in it and occasionally make the water monster attack you. There is no permanent safety. Too volatile. But perhaps i'm being too critical; wait to see what others say.

The only comment I have about the first area is regarding a scare script that puts a skull in the hallway. This triggered and put the skull behind me as I was heading for the exit door. Was it supposed to happen before I got to it? I had to turn around and go "Oh, woah. Skull." Certainly interesting either way.
