aesthetic is pretty, as the concept of the game, but the game has quite a few issues:
1. no option menu from the start menu
2. on linux [arch btw] after change of graphics there's dark screen -- minor thing
3. at the office there's orphaned light spot [place it somewhere else] -- minor thing
4. several items have issues with hitboxes [can pass through them at front, but not at the back side]
5. enemies AI [or script, dunno rly] is quite dummy
as i said, game's look and concept is overall very high, revision of my points possibly could improve the overall experience of this little gem, hope you find my thoughs worth considering
This aesthetic is absolutely lovely, both the pixel art perspective imposed over 3D models, and the background atmospheric design. I'd love to see a more polished/complete game sporting this look, and will keep an eye out for your next project. A+ on visuals and atmosphere. It's nice to see the influence of Sander Cohen live on.
When I start up the game, controls stuck at upward position and can't control the character. I've already restart the computer, and i have no other extra controller attached to my computer.
HEYY, THE GAME LOOKS AWESOMW BUT IM HAVING TROUBLE. WHEN I PLAY THE GAME ITS A BLACK SCREEN, I CAN SEE THE DIALOGUES AND INDICATIONS BUT THATS THE ONLY THING, IS THERE A WAY SOMEONE CAN HELP ME??
A very clever concept that was very cleverly delivered! The look and feel of it is pleasantly reminiscent of the Monkey Island series, with the pixelated point-and-click style.
The idea of time being an actual currency that can be used to buy things is a cracker, as well, and the ever-ticking clock above your character's head really spurs on the sense of urgency you feel in needing to get to the bottom of the case!
The gun-toting sequences were a bit clunky at times, and it was hard to navigate those particular areas. Not impossible, but a little tough. I think a switch to a first-person perspective for those scenes would've maybe made it easier (old school Dick Tracy game style!).
All in all though, when you throw in the great soundtrack, so many wonderfully designed areas and a great, thought-provoking ending this is a great experience that was well worth the... time! Get it? A time joke? So awesome.
This could truly be one of the best games currently on itch.io... As I was playing this game I got cuphead and L.A. Noire vibes Lol this was truly one amazing game and just loved everything about it. Really hope the Devs end making a part 2 that is much more longer.
Loved the Voxel-based visual art style, ala Westwood's Bladerunner, and downloaded this based on the idea. Story was well established, with scripted sequences bringing a real weight to the world created. Shooting segments were a fun distraction and liked the fact that there were a couple of different endings. Those who enjoy Bioshock/Infinite/BladeRunner will definitely enjoy this game. Looking forward to the next project!
You can make mased layers to the 2d sprite and cast shaows on it from 2d lighting you also need a diffuse material on them and then use the normal lighting in unity lik "point Light"
Hi Christopher, currently having an issue when starting the game. Its running as if the up arrow key is stuck on. The arrow key isnt actually stuck as when I click the windows button the character stops moving and stands still. But going back to the game he starts moving again. I can only use the up and down arrows. The left and right arrows will not work. Running wnidows 10, latest update. i7 4790K, GTX 1080 with latest nvidia graphics drivers, 32gb ram. I really really want to play this game, what do you think?
Disregard my above comment! Managed to find the issue and resolved it. Turns out you cant have a flight sim joystick plugged in and play the game, it starts taking inputs from the joystick! Playing now, and so far, incredible!
One of the most gorgeous games I have played to date. Can definitely feel the Bioshock vibe coming through strong which made me love it even more. Massive fan of the franchise and thanks to you, I really want go back and play it. I can't believe this is just a school project, I sincerely hope you make more awesome titles in the future. Quick one though, the gun is buggy, pretty T doesn't really shot very well. Otherwise awesome game!
This game is incredible. I had a blast playing it. The music and the atmosphere that it sets were amazing. The art style was different and refreshing. The story also has some nice twists. Excellent work! I can't wait to check out more of your games! Well worth the time for anyone on the fence about playing it!
The project definitely isn't polished, but it's a uni final project, so that's understandable. :D
But the idea is really nice, as well as the concept. The devs definitely combined film and game together to make something quite fun here.
The only part that isn't fun though, is the combat. It's buggy and shooting in a 2D way in a 3D environment doesn't work all that well, considering that you have to move on the Z axis to be able to shoot your enemies, not knowing when they will shoot. Thus the combat is a bit unfait.
Interesting idea, well executed, good graphics. Those are the things I think this game does best. A longer and more refined version would be great. The only Issue I have with it is the gun-combat.
Linux user here. Running Pop!_OS 19.10 (based on Ubuntu) on a System76 Darter Pro. 32Gb ram. Intel® Core™ i7-10510U CPU @ 1.80GHz × 8. Intel® UHD Graphics (Comet Lake 3x8 GT2). 64bit.
When running the game it first ran really slow. Restarted it and for some reason it ran faster, still slow, but fast enough to do things. Kept running into black screens. But the biggest one is when leaving the office. Black screen when trying to go outside. Not sure if the game is still running and i cant see it or it froze. Had to force quit.
But really loving the look of the game. Looking forward to actually playing the game. keep up the good work. hope the bugs can be worked out.

This uses all of my GPU when I run it. I'm on windows 10 with a Geforce GTX 16 series computer.

Very good points, I agree with all/most.
The concept is awesome and could become something really special without some polish.
Still a nice game to enjoy even without. Thanks for supporting Linux~ <3
Will take this into consideration for future works. Thanks!
Loved this game and the game concept!
I have bookmarked this for later :) It looks amazing and I can't wait to play it
I chose the CAPITALISM ending!
thats very beautifull. Amazing
that is just beautiful - my 9 year old daughter when she looked over my shoulder to see what I was doing

This is very nice game but can you add camera moving?

А мне ещё далеко до разработки таких игр)
some point at the shooting part i quit lol
check out my gameplay + commentary here:
When I start up the game, controls stuck at upward position and can't control the character. I've already restart the computer, and i have no other extra controller attached to my computer.
HERES ANOTHER PIC OF MY PROBLEM, CAN SOMEONE HELP ME?? I HAVE WINDOWS
Can you try toggling between game and movie mode to see if that solves the issue?
yes i have tried that but its the same

Did a full play through and really enjoyed it! The atmosphere, setting and concept swept me away!

Beautiful game, honestly. I love the art style the concept of time as a currency was very intriguing. The music was spot on too! Amazing job :)

Check out my playthrough here:
How to create the style of "The Last Night" in unity?The sprite2D can't affect by light.
You can make mased layers to the 2d sprite and cast shaows on it from 2d lighting you also need a diffuse material on them and then use the normal lighting in unity lik "point Light"
1.Could you export package of a sample scene for me to imitate?
2.I should use 3D light or 2D light in 3D scene?
3.How to set Scriptable Render Pipeline and shader graph?
I have a problem, When i click start it suddently closes and gives me an error.
thanks
PS: I have linux
I'm also getting a segmentation fault on start up.
I'm running Mint 19.1 Cinnamon
i5-4200M CPU @ 2.50GHz

GeForce GT 730M
I can give you the command line output if that would help. Just let me know where you'd like it.
yes pls maybe send me it to my email: culogorila@gmail.com

Could you do a restart of your computer and try again? If that doesn't work, could try using the WASD keys instead?
Disregard my above comment! Managed to find the issue and resolved it. Turns out you cant have a flight sim joystick plugged in and play the game, it starts taking inputs from the joystick! Playing now, and so far, incredible!
i have a MacBook Air and when i open the file there is nothing on the screen. Only a black screen appears. Help!
Hey very sorry to hear that. Unfortunately this is a known issue with some mac models and I am still unsure of what's causing the problem.
One of the most gorgeous games I have played to date. Can definitely feel the Bioshock vibe coming through strong which made me love it even more. Massive fan of the franchise and thanks to you, I really want go back and play it. I can't believe this is just a school project, I sincerely hope you make more awesome titles in the future.

A lot better than i expected.
Good job man

Excellent work! I can't wait to check out more of your games! Well worth the time for anyone on the fence about playing it!
Thank you for playing the game, hope you enjoyed it!
I did! I'm really looking forward to more of your titles!
Wow this looks incredible!
the game just shows a white blank,but it is still possible to open the menu and settings, I'm using windows
Sorry for this. Unfortunately this is a known issue that is present for some graphics card. Can I check what's your specifications?
i dont really know much about those kind of things, but i will try lol.
i used and i was able to get to this
please hope u havent forgotten about my issue
I’m afraid I’m still unable to troubleshoot the problem. I can only suggest you to try it on another computer and see if it works.
Strong computer requirements, I have:
And some scenes get slower and slower, dialogues for example the sound goes faster than the subtitles, and playability gets also affected.
Maybe it will help if there is an option to chose an smaller resolution.
Possible bug?
I got stuck in the theatre behind a fallen column:
Incredible good graphics, with a lot of details. Very immersive experience.
Thank you :)
I liked this very much! wish it was longer..
Very good and polished game. Great Music and great artstyle. I noticed one Bug: When you shoot inside of the elevator you dont get lifted.
But still very fun to play.
The game looks absolutely gorgeous, but the shooting was a little bit wonky. But still its an awesome game
The project definitely isn't polished, but it's a uni final project, so that's understandable. :D

Great job though, do play it.
Thanks for the feedback!
