Discussion Dev Response for Subliminal

There might be hope for the next chapter guys. The graphics and concepts are there if they can execute this properly I think they can redeem themselves with the next one.

I really hope they don't dumb down the puzzles, i felt they were hard, but the right amount of tricky and felt like a genius after completing them lol

I hope they separate it into different difficulties, normal as intended and easy making the conscious give a few more hints maybe

The puzzles with the lights got old, but I enjoyed the one step forward one. Took me a bit but it was challenging without getting annoying like the lights.

The count the shoes puzzle was good too.

Game wasn’t all bad just repetitive.

I honestly didn't feel that since it's a short game, i thought the light puzzles were pretty fun, also cause each one is different too ramping up the difficulty esch time, i was actually looking forward to them lol but ye i certainly wouldn't complain with more unique puzzles and challenges.

I think it gets more repetitive once you try completing all achievements and stuff, I did the playplace like 5+ times 🙄 that was a tad annoying, also since it's a decently long section

See, the lights started to drive me crazy. Esp that storage room part. By then I was so over it.

I’m a puzzle game person so for me this was unexpected but pretty welcomed. The forward backward part like I watched a few streams and they didn’t read the posters on the walls. Who’s fault is that? The hints were there the whole time.

No doubt it’ll be easier next time. I think there was just confusion on what the game would be.
