No , it's not just you. I was annoyed by that as well. I love to "get lost" / explore in a game but not at the expense of death. Then again who does? Heh. I totally agree that there should've been some clues.Also, it may save the players a bit of frustration if visual or audio clues were given as to which turns would lead to danger spots. It may just be me, but getting zapped for wanting to explore every turn in the building kinda felt like a cheap shot.
The sound was also effectively atmospheric. The rain room, for example, would have been boring without the sound, but worked excellently with it. The characters seem cool, both the narrator, his computer, and the other characters. The amount of spelling and grammar mistakes really bugged and frustrated me, but I'm more attuned to that kind of thing than most people Also, it may save the players a bit of frustration if visual or audio clues were given as to which turns would lead to danger spots.

Starting with this. Yes, just random, run into danger scenes was kinda a cheap shot. I see that now. But this idea was not the main focus of this labyrinth. What I wanted to show more than anything was my life force system. That 3 bar thing in the right connor of the screen. I didn't really think anyone wanted to explore the whole thing even though I left some rooms with small side story's.No , it's not just you. I was annoyed by that as well.

And yes, this is why I left it on. Since I left out the complete ending and made it a complete mystery to which room was a trap, I just let you roll back so you can get to or continue on with the story. I'll most likely fix this in the final.(Of course, the damage system and the password problems are both killed by rollback. You really might want to disable rollback and use readback in its place, because otherwise the user can effectively cheat at these sections with no effort.)
That was the point. You wasn't suppose to know. Plus I wasn't about to draw several different labyrinths for a game that was dew in one month. I would of never finished. Even though I could have changed the color of them or something, the idea of the location was a secret. You want to throw the visitor off of any suspicious actions happening. So you make every room similar. This is at least how I see it.The whole "labyrinth" part is just a mess; all rooms look the same and you have no way of knowing where to go to
Hum.......I'm sorry you got the wrong idea for this game. It was meant to tell a story with a little player interaction here and there.(take a look at planetarian ~the reverie of a little planet~, that where my game idea was inspired from) Where I really wouldn't have a problem with reply in a game that would focus on the more traditional, come to so and so location, meet a bunch of characters of the opposite sex, and try to end up with them before the game ends, I here, again, wanted to tell this story I thought up. And I'll admit, in some areas of the game, I really didn't set the elements up too well, but I was on a time limit. It was tuff as it is.The password is essentially the only "choice" that matters for it determines between ending 1 and 2 (besides the "game overs"), and really, that's not too much. After so much atmosphere, so little story and no resolution whatsoever? Not my cup of tea, and I'm a big sci-fi fan. More replay value would have been great - look at "Garden Society Kykuit" and "When I Rule The World" for a change.
Ahh....I know I won't get em all by the final release, so any, on their free time, could post/pm/e-mail me a list of the error, that would be great.The amount of spelling and grammar mistakes really bugged and frustrated me, but I'm more attuned to that kind of thing than most people
