LOL the fact they did not indicate your character had a gun at the beginning of the fight was both hilarious and almost a fatal omission. I like the general combat system, though increasing the size of the card actions would definitely benefit. I hope more indie devs try their hand at this type of game.

@CoolSs 11 месяцев назад

i actually think not telling you that you had a gun to be a brilliant move. we all joke about why don't just pull a gun in games and he literally did. not only the enemy didn't it expect but you too.

I love how between punching a fool in the kidney, fingering your book and a gun, my man really went for the gun last.

@roninghostgaming7240 11 месяцев назад

Many countries in Europe at the turn of the century had a dueling culture. German officers for instance sported huge and horrific facial scars during WWI they’d gained from duels in social situations and wore them as badges of honor. Often gained from frenemy rivals and social acquaintances at drinking establishments and social clubs. Always a good time watching you play these games Cat. Thanks

@yotuel9064 11 месяцев назад

Yeah, people didn't know how to spend their free time before tv.

@paulie-g 11 месяцев назад

Yes, but that was the aristocracy and fairly regimented (ie not in pubs). You have to remember - this is before penicillin, any wound had a chance of killing you. Therefore the commoners would engage in fisticuffs, but no more. The game also misrepresents Cossacks - their fights were plain fist only, wall on wall. But I'm sure this is just some Polish Russophobia thing given this is set in Warsaw in 1905 and the devs are Polish.

@Robluex 10 месяцев назад

@@yotuel9064 It's more like they hadn't had social medias to vent their frustrations and spew their ideologies online. The place to have such discussions was always a pub and the pub was always frequented by people of various backgrounds, ideologies and quite surely hot headed. Those people are now just angry online, telling people to 'meet them in person', threatening over DMs etc.

@DEVOTIO33 7 месяцев назад

In the German case many of the scars were self inflected, the dueling clubs were popular among elite universities and people that wanted to look upper class would often cut themselves with a razorblade to simulate the scars of mensure. Hitler also banned it but mostly as part of his attack on old German aristocracy.

@MarkDeSade100 11 месяцев назад

One thing I have to wonder about after seeing the first fight: can the enemies actually see the demons you summon? It kind of seemed like they couldn't. But either way, their reactions should have been a lot different. If they can see them, they should be saying, "Holy shit! That guy just summoned a big creepy demon and now it's attacking me!" And if they can't see them, they should be very concerned about how they're getting sliced by an invisible sword or mauled with invisible claws. People not reacting at all to ghastly apparitions makes no sense.

@PotionSmeller 11 месяцев назад

My best guess about the playfighting situation is that the devs made weapon-wielding enemies first and didn't have assets for bareknuckled brawlers. Doesn't really explain them being perfectly fine after being mauled by literal demons and shot by guns though.

@Robluex 10 месяцев назад

While the 'getting shot at to solve a banter' seems a bit too much, it is not that far from the reality of the age. As someone else mentioned here; the dueling culture was big at that time and visible scars were like badges.

@l0rf 10 месяцев назад

@Robluex I know German students of the 19th century would slash at each other's faces to get a scar called a 'Schmiss' as it was fashionable. I just think they'd maybe not go as far as pulling out a Webley or Nagant and stapling their friends liver to the nearest wall with it or rip through the veil between worlds to send the spirits off beyond after them...

Strange beginning, get's shot and sliced repeatedly (but punches people barely pulling out his own gun), then after being shot and sliced then we all laugh and are buddies... weird. Wondering if the spirit with the hat and cane isn't his deceased father.

@zandydandy4642 11 месяцев назад

Yeah like this is a great opening to explain the basic time system. But I would cut the use of demons and weapons here. Very strange for a narrative focused game. You can always have thugs jump you in the back alley or something, maybe bandits raid the bar, so you can show demon mechanics then add weapons back into the mix.

@ScottRKrol 11 месяцев назад

Rough and janky, but the setting/concept is promising. Something I've never understood is why there are so few horror RPGs. Even the OG, Call of Cthulhu, has never had a true CRPG, just some point and click games and semi-action games.

Check out Stygian: Reign of the Old Ones. It's a little rough around the edges but it nails the lovecraftian horror atmosphere. And it is a bonafide RPG, with turn based combat, superb writing, exploration, branching dialogue options, party building and everything else you'd expect from the genre.

@yakovalhall 11 месяцев назад

Always a pleasure watching your videos, Splatter. I expected more from the game, though. I like the visual, but too much dialogue right at the start and a nonsense fight with swords, guns and demons that ended in the most awkward way's possible; laughing and drinking? I also agree with you about that scan thing, you start using that all the time in order not to miss anything, which ends up breaking your immersion in the game. The demons were super cool.

@Vrona89 11 месяцев назад

Starting from a brawl, trough drinking, to ending in a friendship is a very Slavic thing. Believe me, I'm a Pole, and I really understand this concept. XD It's not a nonsense, it's really Slavic mentality. By the way, the game is full of polish and historical easter eggs.

You need to be Polish (or slav) to understand that it's quite normal to go fistfight and break some tooth, spill blood and end up drinking just after that and behave as be BFF. not so long ago, I had alteration with someone in house I used to live, chairs broken on back and 5 mins latter we where sharing smoke and laughing about that.

@Muenni 11 месяцев назад

I don't think that's such a strange concept... but shooting each other, slashing with swords, unleashing demons torturing their minds - that's quite a different level than a fistfight to end in drinking together. Which they didn't really do either, but rather separately. Well, maybe slashing each other with sabers (without an intent to kill, and both sides having blades) might not be completely unusual in some drinking circles, but shooting each other? Did the vodka magically heal the bullet wound? Or was that an invisible demon gun he pulled out of the ether and only inflicted pain?

@TheRealXartaX 11 месяцев назад

Need to work on the lipsyncing. In addition my main criticism from what I see is that what the character says doesn't really line up with the dialogue option you select. That's a real killer in RPG's and makes you feel like you don't have any agency. Storywise it also seems really odd that you'd be kidnapped and have a bag put over your head and just immediately help out your attacker when he's in trouble instead of joining in with the attackers, lol. The story beats in general seem really weird, like it's written by someone who don't understand basic human interactions. Concept seems interesting, though. Hope they work on it.

@DrBunnyMedicinal 11 месяцев назад

It kinda feels like the emotional whiplash of the threats, the fight and the post-fight reaction felt deliberate though, and the player was meant to be left with that reaction, or that life around Abaurcy is just Like That.
