Played this yesterday with my younger brother who's in middle school. I'm someone who plays all types of games and especially love ones in this style so I enjoyed it a lot and hold a lot of love for Mallory's character. On the other hand, my brother is more of an action kind of guy but to my surprise, he also enjoyed the game a lot.
The only thing he said was that there was too much dialogue at the end but he's young and doesn't care much for plot right now so I'm not surprised. I personally love where this story is heading. I'm not sure if you're looking for feedback or not but I would like to add that I also loved the puzzles and would love to see more puzzle-like aspects incorporated into the game. Can't wait to play the final result!
I'm glad you enjoyed it! Some dialogues in chapter two could be a little more concise than they currently are, so maybe your brother has a point. And sure enough, there will be plenty of puzzles to solve in the final game! :D
Sadly am unable to run this because I get a "DX11 feature level 10.0 is requires to run the engine" error message. I have the required 10.0 support, graphics card is as updated as possible, and not even using the roundabout way to switching to highly intensive GPU mode (cause Windows decided that instead of an option on the right click menu, it's now going to be an 8 step process) and still nothing : /
Weird. I've never seen this kind of error before, even with my measly GTX 1050. Wish I had any kind of computer know-how to help! Do other Unreal Engine 4 games run on your PC? Do you have any other graphics cards in your PC that could mistakenly try to run the game?
I've not really been able to try out many UE4 games on here. As to the graphics card, it appears to be an internal one, whose details are so difficult to find out that I just never did it. Because it's just listed as "internal graphics card", or a variation thereof, it's been a bit since I went over the system detailsa again.
It's also the only one, I have on here. No idea what else to do here, as the card seems to be as updated as it will possibly get, and whatever few drivers weren't updated, I recently did update in relation to what I fault was faulty software but which just turned out to be an LG mouse I'Ve had for over 12 years finally giving up the ghost.
The fixes for this which I did look up just don't work, the only one I haven't tried is to reinstall the Runtime Environment but I just downloaded it so I don't think that'd help. Sorry with being a bit vague in spots, am not really able to double check this atm as I'm doing some work that needs to be got out of the way first.
Hello, I played this game and I really enjoyed it, the visuals were very cool and the sound effects were neat as well, I liked the puzzles, and the part near the end was interesting too, good work :)
I love this game. It's so sleek, polished looking, atmoshphere is amazing and the character super charming! The controls are a bit tight but that can be mastered. Fits the little legs anyway. Awaiting the full experience!
I really like the vibe, and the marble look is so simple but satisfying. I also got some Night in the Woods vibez but in a good way. The platforming takes some time to get used to, and I find it weird that I have to controll everything with a left hand, maybe put moving to the arrows? or allow rebinding of keys. It's a minor thing but it would be better I think.
And I really like the random pages and narrative interruptions. It could be something great! Keep up the good work, and hope you can finish it, developing it alone must be a lot!
Thank you! It's a lot of work, but also quite a lot of fun, so I don't mind. :) I'll make sure to include key rebinding in the next playable Mallory story I'll share. It seems to be a very requested feature.
Yup! This demo will be followed by a long drought of playable content (because I am indeed a one man team with a day job), but I'm glad it got people interested! Thank you :)
I love the audio that is playing on chapter 1, it is soooo soothing, btw awesome work. It looks like the style of Night in the woods but in 3D and black n white scenario. try to complete the full game as soon as possible if ya can. it is amazing well done!!
Wish I could take credit for that audio, it was just a sound I grabbed from a free library. It is a neat one though. I'll try my best to finish it, thank you! :)
I'm not sure I understand what kind of problem you're having. Do other UE4 games work fine on your PC? Do you have a VR headset plugged in, by any chance?
An marvelous and beautiful work, with some sort of "Night in the woods" vibe (maybe because of character's design) . Wish you success in development and already wish to play full game.
I can't wait to see where the story will take us next. A very intriguing and unique setting and I enjoyed the many layers of storytelling. Great work, Ivan!
What I liked most was the unique art-style and environment!
The graphics were really good, and so was the use and quality of audio.
The game mechanics were fine, but sometimes it was hard to determine depth, however you got used to it eventually!
The story was really good, although short (it is a demo after all)! although, sometimes the talking was dragged out a little and slowed the peace of the game significantly. I would whish the relationship with the cat would have been introduced a little more dynamically and fluid. My immersion slowly faded as I had to read just a little too much.
Without a doubt an excellent game. I really liked the puzzles, and the plot seems to be quite intriguing. I can't wait for the full and finished version of the game. Kudos to you.

I wish there was something I could do to help you out, but I truly do not know enough about these things to assist you with this problem :(

This is a solo project? This is awesome. I can't wait to see/hear more about this thing, it seems so neat.

The game's nice and had a great style as well. I kinda wish I could rebind my buttons. But besides that, game's really interesting.

Thank you! Key remapping is very important, and I'll make sure it's in the final release :)

I was wondering on what the audio is called if you don't mind me asking, I'm just saying this because I would place it on my games (which aren't out)
Sure! :) It's under «Drone, Void, Static 6» in the Soundly app.
Do you know when the full game will be released
In a few years, if everything goes right.
when i run the game it was still didn't run the game.can say what is the problem?
Are you running it on a 64-bit Windows system? Does it display any messages?
it still my desktop
I'm not sure I understand what kind of problem you're having. Do other UE4 games work fine on your PC? Do you have a VR headset plugged in, by any chance?
I've been looking forward to this! It's really good, I'm at a loss for words :^)
Thank you! ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

NITW is one of my all time favorite games and has been one of the main inspirations behind Mallory! Thanks for your wishes :)
Awesome concept. Love the atmosphere and the themes the story seem to be hinting at. Would love to see where this goes in a fully-fledged game.
Here's a silent playthrough of the entire demo. Cheers.
Appreciate it, thank you :)
I can't wait to see where the story will take us next. A very intriguing and unique setting and I enjoyed the many layers of storytelling. Great work, Ivan!
Thanks, Andis! :D
Good game! Love the dark atmosphere, the puzzles was fun, graphics quality are well done. It's good so far.
Thank you! :D

Thank you for the feedback! :) I'll try to address your issues in the future.

Thank you! :O And kudos for making a playthrough video. I didn't think anyone would make it so quickly, haha.
that was cool! Really like art style and writing, excited to see what happens next!
Thanks! I'm glad that you liked it! :D
