I would also appreciate if you could give an opinion on our latest game. Game devs advice is precious because we know better what it takes to make something work. It's called "Backdoor Shifts".
Really well made game! Can't wait for the full release. The concept of this game seems unique, the puzzles are great and the puppets are scary! So far this game seems promising.
Absolutely have been looking forward to this since I auditioned for this VO! Everything has turned out GREAT- It kinda reminds me of Resident Evil 2. I did record my play-through if you’d like to see!
I can't wait for the full game to come out, this game is so much fun!!!!!. I love the puzzles and the puppets scared me so much and the stuff they say also, made me pause so much. I just can't wait for this game!!!!!
Great game. Very reminiscence of the classic Resident Evil gameplay. Just finished playing it and wished list it on steam. Good luck on your game development journey.
The Demo is great, I cannot wait to play the full game. I did regret taping up the puppets, it may save bullets, but it was cathartic being able to silence them. I would believe anyone who became trapped there would soon be driven insane by the incessant babble.
I am looking forward to what the game is going to be like on release, it feels to me it is swinging closer to Bioshock. I am really curious to what way the story is going to go, because the gameplay and environment is looking amazing.
LOVED the demo! I got the ending with one of the elevators, but I think i'm going to come back to it again and check out the other secrets! Additionally, love the replay-ability to this demo. I thoroughly enjoyed the theme for the game, there's a lot of mystery involved and I like that about the story. I also love the voice-acting in the demo, really well done! If you are curious on my reaction, I uploaded a video on my YouTube channel!
Even if "Children's Media but Scary" is happening a lot lately, as a massive muppet fan, I can't say no to the premise behind My Friendly Neighborhood - definitely not when it was developed by the same folks behind Charlotte's Exile, one of my favorite segments of Dread X Collection 2.
So, I will say a few things about this demo that put me off a bit
- A so far total lack of context for the fact that you are shooting letters at these puppets and how it works. Absolutely leave some mystery for the main game, but still - just some acknowledgement of it woulda been nice.
- I was able to sequence break at the start, and go somewhere where the tutorial messages of how to tape up puppets didn't appear at all - meaning I had no idea why enemies weren't staying down when I shot them. Funny, sure, but frustrating.
- The puppet chatter. It's funny, it's charming, it makes total sense for the game so I certainly don't wanna be without it, but it needs to be turned down at least a little .it's hard to get into the spooky atmosphere when three puppets in the same room are endlessly jabbering about mail, and very loudly to boot.
That aside - I REALLY enjoyed this. The puppet designs are lovely, the game flows nicely and makes a certain amount of sense once you get into the Sesame Street-ness of it and it spuzzles ,and I am definitely curious as to how things work around here. And a few scares are fairly clever, like a puppet storage, inert puppets suddenly being alive when you return to a room way later, things like that. I'll definitely be playing the full game and likely enjoying the hell out of it. Great job so far!
John Szymanski and the DreadXP team do NOT disappoint. Don't even hesitate getting this demo and 10000% go wishlist this immediately on Steam. This is going to be a special one. And if anyone would care to watch my playthrough, I made a vid on the game here below!
DreadXP, I found the game idea very good and very interesting, I wanted to know two things about the game, the first thing is if there will be a mobile version for the game in the Google Play Store, the second thing is if the game will also have on steam?

Puppets and Survival Horror is quite the funny combo, can't wait for the full game.
