Mangled Shadows (IT'S OUT NOW)

I don't think these are supposed to be here

I can see this is your first game, so I won't be too harsh. I have beaten night 5.

I'll start with the gameplay. It's fine, and not that hard. Although, the character that kills you if you look at the camera next to your office is kinda lame since it's not like the cameras are useful anyway.

The modelling is good overall, and I appreciate the animation for cutscene 4. The cameras are also quite good.

The audio design is not good. The shadow character given an ear-grating sound effect every time they move. It's really annoying, especially at later nights. There is no reason to have it, honestly. I also would have beaten night 6 if not for the ear-destroying static that plays throughout the entire night. I also must say that the static effect in the main games is very long and blinding. I also really can't support using an AI voice for the phone call, and I thought the writing was odd.

The minigames don't work well. I tried to beat the first two minigames, but I could not win no matter how hard I tried. You can also get lost in the void in some places. I'd be nice if you could skip them. I also wish you could skip the night 4 cutscene since you are forced to watch it when you replay the night.

A very big issue is that when you die and are sent to the "tips" screen, it shows for 2-3 seconds and then disappears. It'd be much better if you instead clicked a button to go back to the menu.

Overall, I'd give the game a 5/10 in its current state (which is average). It can definitely be improved a lot. I would highly encourage playtesting so a lot of issues can be ironed out and you can get good feedback before release. This is not at all to discourage you, but to give good feedback so you can learn for the future. I wish you luck with your future projects.

lmost forgot
in the third minigame, when the green girl lures you into her room, if you leave the room during the chase, she ends up going beyond the map boundaries LoL

Great game!
However, I encountered a few bugs during my playthrough:

1. When Rejector is standing by the door and you turn away from him, his jumpscare bugs the game and you can’t turn left anymore.

2. After watching the cutscenes in the Extra menu, it breaks.

3. I’m not entirely sure if this is a bug, but in Shadow Night, when you're killed by Plush Mangle, it shows that Mirk is the one killing you. Also, the hints appear way too quickly — I don’t have time to read them. It would be nice if instead of throwing you back to the menu after a few seconds, there was a choice to return to the menu or retry the night.

I think that’s all. Thanks for the game!
