What a wonderful game! Thank you so much for it!
Hey this is a great game, thanks
Hello @bcullen,
First of all, thank you so much for making this demo and contributing it to the community free of charge for all of us users to enjoy!
This demo is fantastic and should definitely be made into a full game. I am a huge fan of old still top down adventure games (A Link to the Past is still #1 in my book) and I anticipate that this one will not disappoint.
What I liked
Opening – the opening that you chose to go with is insanely entertaining and immediately hooked my and I am sure others into wanting to play the game.
Environment – Simple yet elegant layout of the rooms and house as a whole made getting into the game a lot smoother of an experience. Hey these are the controls, by the way there are some things you can interact with and you have an inventory with item slots. Quick, efficient, with no too much needing to be focused on at once.
Dark and very realistic undertones – While the premise of this game is supposed to be that the main character Jack is a super human, but doesn’t know it, the real interest to me was Jack’s relationship to his family. The way he interacts with them is reminiscent of family troubles that I had in the past with my mother so that alone makes we want to play the full version.
Again, thank you so much for making this demo. I made a short review video that summarizes my points and is spoiler free.
I wish you the best of luck in all your future endeavors!

Overview. Mayhem in Single Valley (MSV) is a thoughtful top-down action adventure. Its focus on family and everyday struggles mixed with its combat and puzzles provides an action-packed but emotional gameplay experience.
