mechmouse: Guys and Gals,
You've done an amazing job with this game, very much looking forward to the finished product.

The beginning sequence is fantastic, some great nods to Pop and cult culture. Noticed the Shell Beach postcard, and love the current hero is Arthur Hastings.

Is the broken door of the first safehouse the same door from which Arthur pulled the pipe from? If so, then there isn't enough distance between the Village and his place of work.

In terms of game play.

I feel the day-night cycle is a bit too fast, and you get tired too quickly too. I'd not even explored 1/4 of the village before having to get some sleep.

Hopefully full release will have difficult levels that can alter this too, for novice players.

Another issue my wife had, was when leaving a house (after she'd upset the owner) another NPC blocked the door stopping her from exiting and escalated the encounter into violence (which she was trying to avoid).

I can also confirm, leaving the safe house with out Mrs Smiths body you can't pick her up later.

I'll post up more info later.
