GRAVEN

The oldschool Aesthetic is great and I love that there is no hand holding. You have to figure out what to do with only the journal entries to guide you, not even a map. Combat is the perfect amount of retro jank and can be challenging (playing on hard). The big issue though, the game breaks. If you complete part of a quest and sign out, when you sign back in the game may not recognize you completed the first part. Or when you go up an elevator and then sign out, when you sign back in you show up in town, and when you go back to said elevator, the level doesnt work anymore. I think the game assumes its still in the up position. Requested a refund for the time being. Will rebuy and update review if gamebreaking bugs are fixed. Edit - Refund was denied, so I made a new character and restarted. Managed to avoid bug in act 1. Barely avoided a potentially gamebreaking bug in act 2, and my game broke entirely in act 3. NEVER return to main menu or halway done quests break every time.

4 hours in and I realized I would have to start my game over. When you put the fuel canisters into the lighthouse, make sure you do them together. I put one in early and later when I came back with the second one I found that the first one had disappeared. Game didn't recognize it as having been placed and also didn't put it back into the world so I could pick it up again. Couldn't start up the lighthouse. My game came to a stop. Lots of fun until that happened.

Requested refund. Elevator stuck..cant go forward. Uninstalled and played over from begining, no luck. Really liked the game, but cant continue. Maybe if fixed Ill retry.

So, when you select new game at the main menu, it will open a brown window with the difficulty list on the left, and the proceed/start button sorta-centered at the bottom on the right. Scrolling up and down highlights whatever difficulty you're hovering over, and selecting a difficulty highlights your selection in yellow. Here's your problem: You cant press/scroll right to select the start button. You actually have to scroll all the way down the difficulty list to select start. It behaves as though the Start/Proceed button is at the "bottom" of the difficulty list, even though the button is visually off to the right, seemingly in it's own selection window or list. Posting this because my dumb self couldn't figure this out and almost refunded and missed out on a pretty good time

Was really enjoying it.......Until Act 3 Elevator Key is Gone and enemies wont attack. Its a shame I cannot finish It it was really charming like Castlevania meets Systemshock. Please fix Devs.
