It looks awful.

No shit.

That type text was distracting, and the trailer didn't scare me at all.

I understand that it was a student project, but could they have done something more original?

Mental hospitals, asylums, blah blah blah... Seriously though, can we get something different some day?

The text overlays make no sense and are distracting - unless they're maybe supposed to serve some higher artistic purpose? Like, I dunno...maybe the protagonist got sucked into an old-timey silent horror movie? That would actually be kinda cool...

As for the graphics, some of the textures look pretty good, others are atrocious. I kinda like the overall style - simplistic black and white, not much detail but a lot of contrast... could work I guess. Like the whole "noir" idea.

Overall idea doesn't seem very original yet. Asylums are scary but also a bit overdone. Will have to see what the actual story is going to be.

All in all, for a student project it's okay. Their facebook site tells me that they've only been working on it since January 21, so cut 'em some slack, folks.... UDK is a quite complicated tool to get into and you can't expect miracles in only three weeks. Wink

My advice would be to not try and make fancy trailers until later in development, however.

Like what? Attics? Skyscraper? Plane? Ship? Tower? I suppose?

Judging from how low the views for the video are, I'm thinking that Gigasonic121 may be one of the devs. Might be wrong though.

If I'm right though, this is not the best way to advertise your game. You need a lot more than a line of text, and a trailer to draw people in. Give some more screenshots, tell us about some of the gameplay features, and whatnot.

Yes I am one of the Devs. Work on this has not been long so things are looking off in some places. Our team is of varied talent however.
As for the Originality, we have been given a brief and are working towards that in respect of "Publisher and Developer" relationships. This is our first game Big Grin

Thank you for the feedback though. And Ideas you guys have would be fantastic to hear!

Well...the knowledge we have about the game are a bit limited right now. Any chance you can tell us more? Like gameplay elements, premise, plot summary, or some other feature?
