While the game doesn't look too engaging, the challenge of figuring out the correct path under a time pressure is certainly exhilarating. And watching Trance flip the switch from casual playthrough to speedrun mode was quite funny.

[@Ch1l1C0nCarnag3]

I mean, a lot of people are shitting on this, but what did they expect? It's a game that challenges you to beat it in under 2 hours, were they expecting some masterpiece 10/10 game? Because I was expecting some rage game designed to waste as much time as possible, and that's exactly what it was.

[@soundrogue4472]

Just because something is shit on purpose doesn't mean you can't judge it. By that same logic you shouldn't get mad at environments for gluing themselves to road because, "they're trying to make you rage" Steam has enough shit on the platform; as someone who wants to make a game, I don't want to be burred under literal shovel ware games.

[@armored_guy]

@@soundrogue4472 true but also it’s silly to criticize soemthing for soemthing they do on purpose in this case at least. What I mean is the game is designed to waste your time and make you rage because the goal is to beat it before 2 hours, so it’s silly to criticize the game for these exact things when that is how the game was designedz

[@UndyingZombie]

Just a fyi.. This game has a exit near the start lol. Its a slight pain but its there. It kind of reminds me of some Mario maker games as well as a few other games that places hidden wins/exits at the start as a "dev exit". Most of the rest of it is just to waste your time.

would be fun to have a speedrun community of 15 ish $ games that go to charity and are refundable and you get 5$, 5$ charity and 5$ for the game company

[@AlxndrHQ]

[@CritHit]

Honestly- that'd be sort of neat, for very small Indie companies- and help to mitigate losses for just having your games torn through and functioning at a pure loss.

[@glurb69]

that’s a great idea. idk if it would work but it would be pretty cool to have a few achievements and then if a speed runner could 100% and refund the $15 would be matched by whoever the organizer was

[@Moose1207]

I was lucky because I am in the eastern US. start time for me was 10am. It was funny to watch him struggle with the basic tips (like marking your path which stay after death) - because he kept skipping the "strongly advised" tutorial. He finally did the tutorial later, and it took something like 30 seconds to a minute lol.

[@rizen3467]

intro screen: playing the tutorial is strongly advised uhtrance: im going to pretend i didnt see that

[@Raymondmadden]

TBH steam should put an adaptive system in place. IE the refund is adaptive to the average it takes for the game to finish normally (starting at 2 hours and goes up or down depending) if the game is 10+ hours it should not allow a refund after the 2. IE 20% of play time. If the game takes an hour. it should give the player like half an hour to refund the game instead of 2. There are alot of games that can be finished before 2 hours. and its just not fair to the devs

[@mrcheesemunch]

Yeah 2 hours is kind of BS, some games have tutorials longer than that. It's almost never long enough to really figure it out. I don't have a lot of money for games so I often find myself panic refunding if I'm just not quite sure the game is for me. Maybe some kind of a tiered system where if you play it for X amount of time you get 75% of your money back, then 50%, then 25% then nothing.

[@ligokleftis]

i’m pretty sure if a game gets refunded, the devs don’t lose that money. i’d bet that steam eats that loss since it’s written into their terms and not the game’s.

[@Shanespeed2000]

@@ligokleftis The devs lose that money. Steam holds your earnings and it's up to the developers to choose "pay me" and then Steam will pay you your earnings (minimum of $100 if I recall correctly). So if a player refunds a game it gets subtracted from your earnings, and thus your eventual pay

Fun fact a dead end in german is a "sackgasse" which means a sack alley which in turns means an alley with sacs so... in a way an alley that ends with trash is a "sackgasse" which directly translates to dead end... fun fact

[@spiridiums]

I looked it up, and apparently this was a message by the developer to Steam for it's *extremely* liberal refund policy. Definitely an interesting premise, a good message, but not the best execution imo? But still, props to you for taking the challenge. I would've given up and asked for a refund anyway, I'm fine with being a coward 😂

There seems to be very little "game" to this game. Sometimes a programmers make a thing and it gets mislabeled as a game when in all actuality it is indeed a frustration machine. "Too dark to see how jank the mechanics are" is not a feature.

[@blizyon30fps86]

What did you expect? It’s a game meant to be beat under 2 hours ofc there isn’t much “game.” and is probably made by 1 dude in his basement. It’s also a sage game, it’s meant to be a “frustration machine.” You’re being a stickler about little things that would only matter if this was some big corp triple A game that’s meant to be replayed hundreds of times and by millions of people

[@skylarkblue1]

yeah this is such a dumb game. Barely any actual game design and basically just an asset flip to just ride along on a trend. It's not a game with any challenge, it's just "hope you pick the correct path". This idea for a game, being able to refund it, is a good idea, but not with this kind of game.

[@uhTrance]

It was kind of hard for me to edit the video. I found it difficult to come up with a story because there is nothing really in the game. But at the same time that is kind of the point

[@AnglosArentHuman]

Game's not trying to market itself as anything more than baby's first shite horror game, costs $4 and has pushed out 9 patches in under a week. If this is where you draw the line you clearly haven't delved deep enough into the cesspit that is the Horror tag on Steam.

[@skylarkblue1]

@@AnglosArentHuman nah man there's way better first time horror games out there. It is not hard to create some basic tension and basic game design is something you need if you want to make anything. This game is just an asset flip to cash in on the trend. It is clear the devs had no intention of making a decent game, or even a "babies first horror game".

[@CreamAle]

seeing the start my honest thought was.. go the opposite way the game says or just wait in the start for an hour and 50 mins. neat concept but just youtuber bait as advertising for it. also, once you see it there's 0 point in buying and trying yourself. quite the confusing sales tactic.

[@nme-xchris4019]

Love this Videos, thank you so much and keep up the great content ❤🤙

[@DTronicsUK]

I dont think you know how VPN's work. lets say i want to play on a game server thats based in the US from here in the UK my ping is 120ms when connecting to the US based server. i then proceed to connect to a vpn server based in the US as close to the US game server as possible. The game reports a ping of 15ms (and this is what you will see) But my actual ping is 135ms Hang on, going via a vpn has made the connection worse, how come? Well... Yes your ping between the vpn server and game server is 15ms, however YOU still have to connect to a server in the US, you would be connecting at roughly the same ping as if you connected directly BUT now you have to factor in the ping from the VPN to the game server. So... You to VPN = 120ms VPN to Game Server = 15ms Total Ping = 135ms

[@NOPerative]

Feels like S.T.A.L.K.E.R. for speed runners. Game looks surprisingly good for being a gimmick title; am impressed.

[@Moose1207]

It's still pretty much of a gimmick of a game, he kept getting stuck on ledges, the jump height isn't that good, and that god awful jump scare shriek lol.

[@NOPerative]

@@Moose1207 The dev(s) put little things in the game like the inadequate jump hight pretty consistently - it seems like the game has booby traps to enhance the game further to raise tension and test the player's ability to focus. Despite everything going on, the game is still win-able without any stupid tricks or glitching. Looks as though the dev(s) put some thought into the game; maybe the dev(s) are inspired by or secretly speed runners themselves. It could happen...
