Hey friends, so we recently launched our new horror/survival game, and I was hoping to get some feedback from fellow developers on how we’re looking.
Here’s a link to the game if anyone is interested in checking it out:
Thanks so much, I appreciate it. 
The gameplay, UI, sound design, grapchic, and others are awesome! This is very cool, but I didn’t finish the game, too scared haha xD , well done!
Love it! Everything is perfect from what I noticed, here are the very few issues I found.
Overall, great game! I got extremely scared to the point where I spammed alt+f4 to get out of the game! This is definitely going to make it big, literally mark my words i’m not joking.
Wow, great game for beta. If you don’t mind telling, what day/time was it released and did you put any robux/time into ads?
Thanks so much for the feedback. The short black screen is actually intentional, because I hate how despite preloading the logo it still takes a short second before it loads in, so the black screen was there in hopes of making that transition a bit smoother.
Also, I’ll definitely adjust the tutorial tweens so it’s more responsive. Appreciate you!
Thanks so much man. So we officially launched it today, around 4 PM eastern time. We put in I believe 30-40k (enough to get like 30 ad credits) to see analytically how the game is doing.
So after playing a full match, I’ve got a ton of feedback. First I just have to say, I’m putting this feedback together because I genuinely enjoyed the game a ton. I think this is the first time a roblox game got me scared AND has a fun objective. A lot of games do either or, but yours is officially the first I’ve found to have both, and I really don’t like horror games too much as they’re very repetitive. Props to you and your team, very bright future.
The pros:
Engaging visuals/SFX: The visuals match the game very well and the sound design is again, one of the best on roblox. I eventually figured out that we could hear the monsters steps nearby, but not our teammates which is a huge plus, and on top of this my own footsteps overshadowed the monsters? This is amazing game design if it was intended or not, because to listen to the monsters steps I had to stop moving giving me an extra decision to make during the game and really ups the fun.
Options: I first jumped straight into a game without looking at the menu, but after finishing I looked through the menu and found out there are items, perks, and pets? The fact there is all of this in a first release beta is pretty impressive. I also noticed the in-game robux purchases, which weren’t shoved down our throats, but placed well and don’t feel forced. Also figured out theres harder difficulties and potentially more maps in the future? Having a ton of options is pretty crucial for horror games because like I said, they’re fairly repetitive, I did not unlock any items or perks but I hope your items are “class-catered” in the way they are built. What I mean by this is that some items work well in some maps or in pair with some perks, but also work poorly with others. In my opinion this is the best way to create items in games like these.
There are many smaller pros of course but these are the clear things that your team did very well on.
The cons:
Game length: My first match was 40 minutes and simply put, this is probably not what you want for a roblox game. Any other platform this is fine but the player base on roblox is generally in the 10-16 age group. The attention span of most kids this age just won’t last this long. Granted we had 1 rose left for about 10 minutes and it was in an open drawer someone opened but missed the rose? Even with that I estimate a game will be on average 25-30 minutes for most people’s first match. The main problem was the map was very vast and the rooms were very similar. I got lost plenty of times. Lots of ways to fix this such as an ingame time limit, but the first thing that came to my head was a map. Not a typical map but, in my mind finding scraps of paper that are each a piece of the map and slowly building it is a nice engaging way to have it. And of course, you should not be shown where you are on the map, but have to deduce it by your surroundings. This ties with the next con,
Item content: I only played one match, so maybe I didn’t find everything, but the only items I had found were self revive kits, keys, notes and roses. This game is just released and in beta so it isn’t a huge deal now, but it should probably be the first thing you work on. Things like the map scrap I mentioned, small consumables, things to help you hide or traverse the map, or anything your mind comes up with. The item pickups don’t even have to be all that good. Walking into each room I’m not expecting to find a rose in each one of course, but I should be finding something to interact with every 3-4 rooms, where in this case once you get a self revive kit, I didnt find anything in almost all rooms.
Again, lots of small improvements to make but these are the only major ones.
Some other small feedback:
All in all this game is very very well made and I can see it getting tons of CCU! I hope it doesn’t end up as one of those chronically “underrated” games and makes it to the front page consistently, good luck! Also joined your group I will be there following your journey in silence haha
Thank you so much for the thorough feedback and kind words! I really appreciate it! You’ve given me a ton to think about moving forward.
That’s a fantastic game! As a horror fan, I really love it. Keep up the great work! 
i mainly play horror games outside roblox and i have to say
even if this game uses the generic formula of horror games (a maze where you find keys), and it looks like granny, is pretty original and the new visibility meter is also a new feature i wanted to see in roblox games.
the games ambience is well done, i like both sounds and the assets in this game
the difficulty is well balanced for all the modes, and the enemy speed is neither too fast or too slow, giving you enough time to run but not forever (unlike the 99% of roblox games, where the monster launches towards you beyond light speed)
the mansion is giant, and the rooms are not repetitive, and is not hard to get lost, personally i find this game map well done
however, there are some things i also didn’t like:
this game is way too repetitive, the only objective is to find keys, unlock things with the keys and find roses, thats it.
the drawers are too empty for a messed house like this, maybe add books, papers, or something related to that specific room (like in bedroom, you can find drawers with socks or whatever)
the monster is not scary at all, but the VA has done a good job
even if the IA is done much better than other games, has some bugs (for example, if i stay in a closet and the enemy goes out of the room, if i open the closet while she is too close the entrance of the room, she will start bugging by coming in and out of the room)
the game lighting is old gen, now i dont know if is intentional or not but i personally dont like it.
even if the enemy is not scary, or uncanny, i found the jumpscare pretty scary so well done with that
I’m gonna bump this thread because we made some changes to make the game much easier to finish (on easy difficulty.) For some reason, the ratio of plays to players finishing a match is unbelievably low.
Would love to get anyone’s feedback if there are specific reasons for why this might be. Thanks so much
