Brilliant game! I give my immediate comments at the end of the video but I'll put some below too, apologies if they're duplicated from the video.

If you enjoy puzzle games with a slight horror element then I fully recommend you play this game, I had a really good time

Very minor bug where I was in the clock UI when the girl spoke to me, and the menu for the clock stayed on after it also but got out of it pretty quickly.

It was a really refreshing experience playing a horror game that focuses on escape room-type puzzles (even if I wasn't very good at them). The one minor drawback I would say is that after a short period of time I was no longer scared going from room to room so in that sense the "horror" aspect had subsided, and made way for a purely puzzle feeling game.

I really can't wait to see what work you do with this game to expand on it as I'll be first in line to play it. 

Just want to say well done on your work with this game, thoroughly enjoyed.

Check out my video.

Hey Rhys

Thank you for playing and your video. Glad you liked it!

First of all, you did a good job completing the game without using any hint at all. That’s quite impressive, I must say. Many players have struggled in the past.

About the but at the clock UI glitch... Yeah, so I noticed. I’ll try to make it impossible for Elizabeth to interrupt the player while being in a puzzle.

The game used to have a player model arm like in Athemore. That way you could see if either you were using the candle or kerosene lamp. However, I’m in need of some decent animation effects. So the visuals have been disabled for the time being.

About the chess puzzle. Even though it’s optional, I give you credit for your patience in solving it. I actually never thought that the thing you mentioned about the defeated pieces should be next to the opponent. I might swap them over. Likewise I might add a snap feature which is going to trigger whenever a piece is correctly placed.

About the lack of scares when every room has been explored. That’s actually something I’ve thinked about too. So I’m going to think of something, because I want it to be unpleasant for the player. However the full game is going to be very different from the demo according to the amount of puzzles at one place and other events too. 

The “continue playing button” at the end of the credits, is made for Markiplier. He complained that he wasn’t able to continue playing, because he wanted to check out the locked basement door :)

Aces Games with the frickin soundscape haha half the time I couldn't even focus on the task at hand when people are crying and screaming in my ear! I rated this game, but with only experiencing the demo. Most likely will change when I play the version that has a price tag. Definitely had a difficult time with the puzzles, but once I completed them, I felt like an idiot because they weren't exactly crazy complex! But nonetheless, still a challenging fun experience!

Great work!

Thank you again for playing!

Good job finishing the game without using any hints. A lot of players have struggled in the past.

I just watched Markiplier's play through and I'm eager to buy the game and play through when it's finished.  I couldn't help but notice the similarities to Thief, being a Thief fan myself. The art style, the re-used sound effects, the ambient music that changes with location, the puzzles, hand written notes that fill the screen when you read them.  I just want to ask; have I suspected correctly? Are you inspired by Thief? :)

Thank you for your interest in Unaware. It really means a lot

Yes, you guessed it. I’m a Thief fan and yes, I did use some Thief SFX as placeholders, when developing the first part of Unaware. That’s including the game version Markiplier played. The SFXs in Thief are awesome, but obviously, I can’t use those any longer. I don’t have the rights.

You are right. I’m inspired by the Thief games and other good games as well.

I'm glad you're introducing this atmosphere to a new generation of gamers :)

OMG IT WAS TOUGH BEATING CHAPTER 3 WITHOUT ANY PLAYTHROUGHS I COULD'NT FIND NONE XD 

But still looking forward to other updates!!

First of all, welcome back. 

I want to thank you for taking a lot your time playing my game. It means a lot to me.

You did very good on solving all the puzzles and finishing the chapter.
I know there’s a lot of loose ends and it’s hard for the player to figure out what to do next. This will become clearer in the final release.
Cheers

Very nice game.

Thank you so much for your video. Very thorough playthrough. I like that.

Well done on completing the first chapter.

First, I want to apologize for these bugs you encountered.

Elizabeth has had several adjustments in the past, and I’m not done with her yet. She used to start patrolling again after talking to her, but then people accidently got stuck in corners instead. I will try and make her behavior more natural, when I have the time.

The books don’t describe the chess puzzle. They are only for the Clock puzzle. The purple chess pieces aren’t important. It’s because they are missing materials. I have just been too lazy to fix that 😊

I have never noticed the crowbar in the intro, so well spotted 😊

I’m hoping to catch that glitch you had in the mine. I suppose you did press “F”, for enabling the lantern?

Lastly, I want to thank you for rating my game and I’m looking forward to watch your video tomorrow.

(+1)

Thank you for the info.  Still you did very good job.     And chapter 2 is coming up as well.  


What if you put Elizabeth in a chair or something. :)


I got stuck somehow and was not able to move my mouse...then to "fix" that,  sure I pressed aaaaaaaaall the buttons. I got unstuck, but the lantern was gone and never came back. :) Also was a stupid moment, when I did not look at the crypt, so I did not get a task to open it, so later on I could not pick up the second key. Or it just was an inventory glitch. It is not dramatic, but a bit annoying that you need to follow a certain process.

Thank you for your second video.

Good suggestion about Elizabeth, but I want her to walk around. She has scared some players in the past, because she sometimes had followed the player and sneaked up behind the player. I like to keep that element in the game including other behaviors as looking out the windows or playing the violin when she has it.

Again, I’m sorry about the bugs. I knew exactly what went wrong, when I saw them.

The lantern problem occurred, when you pressed E on it, while the black cursor was active. Just like when you collected the items from the Zodiac Box (I will fix it so you can use left click as well in the future to collect from the box). I have never even thought this could happen. I can easily fix this.

The key bugged on you. You don’t have to collect one at the time. That would be lame, as you already mentioned. The reason why you couldn’t pick it up at first, was because of you had a full inventory. There is a hidden counter inside the code, which should be equal to 15 if your inventory is full. And subtract by 1 when using an item. Somehow it got out of sync. I will look into that.

The box you found after using the shovel isn’t important yet. You are actually the first who managed to find it.
I will add better-quality textures to the game in the future. That would give a boost to the graphics.

I’m glad you liked my game. It means a lot to me. Again, thanks for your help. I would never have found these bugs on my own.
Take care

You are very welcome.  Thanks for giving me an opportunity to play the game.  I would love to play   more when it's done. ... so   i can find more bugs. :)  Just kidding.  It will be good I'm sure.

Thank you for the copy of the game. I really enjoyed playing it, even though it wasn't my best play through ever! Haha.

Very well made and I look forward to seeing the rest in the future.


Thanks for your long playthrough. I do actually prefer unedited videos.

Good job on finishing the game and sorry for the bugs and crashes!

I will make it, so when lighting the candlewax from the inventory automatically puts the light back on.

The chess puzzle is about setting the board up for play and it is optional.

The crash, when exiting the house is new. I think I know why it happens. I will fix it as soon as possible.

The outside level is a bit laggy, when leaving the house and also in the cutscene. I think it’s because of the water effect. I’m definitely not happy with the water effect, and how it looks. I will work on that.

The last key was in the left burial chamber to the right of the coffin. I will probably find another spot for it in the future.

You forgot to blow up the large boulders with dynamite 😉

I’m glad you find my game interesting, and I will of course add you to the credits list.

So much fun. I got spooked a couple of times. I like where the story is going. I can not wait to see this through to the end. Again thank you for thinking of me on this.

Thanks for your playthrough and feedback

Good job on finishing chapter 2 and sorry for the bugs and crashes!

I have been playing around a lot with Elizabeth’s AI, and I’m far from done. I want her behavior to become more natural. Likewise, I want her to look out the window or play the violin as well. For the moment, she just stands, which is better than blocking the player.

The crash, when exiting the house is new. I think I know why it happens. I will fix it as soon as possible.

The compass gets enabled, when you find and equip it inside the house. It’s now one of the main objectives.

In the latest version, I have disabled the possibility to enter the house, when starting in chapter 2 for the moment. Because it does just as you experienced. In the future/full game, the player has to enter the house again. By that time, the house will become very haunted.

At some point, I will replace the chapter selection option with a save / load feature instead. The chapter selection option, is meant as a shortcut for you guys
The outside level is a bit laggy, when leaving the house and also in the cutscene. I think it’s because of the water effect. I’m definitely not happy with the water effect, and how it looks. I will work on that.

I noticed a bug, when you couldn’t pick up the last plank. It’s hard for me to tell what exactly went wrong. I will add it to my bug list.

The ghost at the bridge is not complete. That’s probably why it didn’t scare you.

You did fine with the Knight’s quest. I have not finished writing the questline for it yet. That’s why you got ignored by the Knight. I need to find some ideas for the quest 😊

I’m glad you still find my game interesting and I hope you will be ready for chapter 3.

(+1)

I'm sorry I wasn't able to give it the playthrough it deserves. I feel bad that I sucked at it. I hope you still enjoy it and I would love to try out future projects.

Thanks for your feedback!

You shouldn’t feel bad. You helped me more than you know. Of cause, I enjoy watching when people succeed with the game, but it is also good for me to see how others play it. I can test it 1000 times, but usually I play it as it should be played, because I know how the game is.

About the cube puzzle – There are 3 notes total. You missed the major note on the shelf in the basement, which had two lines instead of one. I agree, I could make some of them with pictures. In fact, I did consider that, but choose the easy way with text. I might make it in the future.

The Chess Puzzle key – I’m sorry. That’s me being stupid. I forgot to disable an invisible collider blocking the table. That’s also blocking the players ability to pick things up through the collider. The reason I put it there, was to prevent the player accidentally walking on the chessboard.

I should prevent the player to enter the house again after starting directly in chapter 2, because the house will behave as you restarted in chapter 1. The player starts by the front door instead of the bedroom.

You were mentioning some pointers for help in the game. The journal is your friend here. I didn’t notice you reading in it once you got outside. That’s the problem, because it tells you what to search for.

You missed the last level underground, which were hidden beneath the ruins.

I want to thank you again for helping me out, and I’m glad you liked the game. Even though you didn’t complete it. I’ll bet you do that next time.

🐺👍

I did my best. got hung up on three of the puzzles.

Thank you for taking your time to play my game.
First of all, I am very sorry the game crashed on you. I will look into that problem and hopefully be able to fix it.
With these lets-play requests, I’m testing the game mechanics/stability, but also the game difficulty. I want the game to be hard, but not impossible. I do however consider making a difficulty option in the beginning of the game.
If you want to give it another try, I don’t want to spoil anything. If you need help, please let me know.
I hope you will give chapter 2 a shot as well. That’s a bit easier in my opinion.

Cheers

I really enjoyed this game and would like to see it fully released. I can tell a lot of time and effort went into making it as good as it is and I would love to play the finished product.The only thing I think needs improving is the puzzles, what I mean by that is that the clues are a bit vague but overall great. The game was definitely scary and kept me on pins and needles throughout. I'll link my gameplay below if you are interested. I didn't fully finish the demo but I did my best and will be playing the rest soon.

Thank you so much for a good long playthrough. (Longest I have watched video so far)

You finished chapter 1, well done!

About the chess puzzle - You had the black knight and bishop on the top right wrong. Those should have been swapped. Don’t worry too much about this. The chess puzzle is optional.

About the violin – I have been playing around with some of the item positions, and I’m not really sure where to put all of them yet. That’s why it seemed weird for you to find the violin, before you’ve even met Elizabeth.

About the clues – Well it depends on the player, I guess. Some people have trouble and others think it’s a piece of cake. You didn’t use the hint function in the journal much. That would have helped you a lot. I do however, thinking of adding a difficulty setting at the beginning of the game.

About the wandering feeling - Many modern games are very straight forward, and not challenging enough in my opinion. Typically, you have an arrow to follow where you need to go. That’s not the kind of game I wanted to make. And because I’m an old school gamer, I wanted to build the game in a style as games were back in the day.

I am currently working on a Save/Load feature, but I am having some issues, but I am getting closer. I know it is annoying for the player to lose their progress. That’s why I made It possible to begin in chapter 2. The chapter two begins when you leave the house. I did actually make a notification screen whenever a new chapter begins. I just forgot to turn it on before I built the game, because it was annoying me as hell, when I did some testing.

I'm looking forward watching you complete the game.

Made a video for ch.2

You finished chapter 2. Well done!

There are only two puzzles in chapter 2, and they are not chained together for the moment.

I did notice some minor errors in the game during your playthrough. The compass is not meant to disappear. I guess it happened when you closed the map. Likewise, with the nails which got dupped. They should become consumed instead. I think I know why this occurred, and shouldn’t be too hard for me to fix.

The reason the trees were missing their roots on a distance, was because of the quality setting was set to low quality.

Now that you mentioned it, I do admit the bats sound a bit like seagulls. I will try and do something about that.

The last key was inside the burial chamber to the left, on the right side of the coffin.

Last, you forgot to use the dynamite, on the boulders inside the Workshop area.

Thank you again for helping me out. I hope it was worth your time.

Made a video for ch.1

Thank you for playing the first part.

You didn’t find the lantern. That’s why you couldn’t go outside.

The journal has hints. Including the one for the zodiac box. The hints have been improved a lot since the first time you played.

 The lighting in the game is not the greatest atm. You missed a couple of items because of that. I admit the candle light isn’t at its best state atm.

I am working on implementing another lighting feature within Unity, which looks a lot better. But it doesn’t work properly yet unfortunately.

 I am looking forward to chapter 2 😉

I loved Chapter 1 (Didn't play the updated but will try it later) and I loved Chapter 2, can clearly see the potential and here you added puzzles together with great atmosphere and a few jumpscares which is very great. Just one thing, loot management can be a bit better :). Anyhow great game, can't wait for more! (I wanna get into the church now lol) 

Hi Random LastStand

Thank you again for playing, and for your feedback
Hehe – You have to be patient for the church, I haven’t made the inside part yet. 😊
About the inventory. I am afraid of implementing a drop system, because the player might accidently drop an important item and wouldn’t be able to find it again.
However, I was aware of this issue and I have already made impossible to collect more equal items than needed in the current version. Likewise, the unimportant items automatically get deleted, when changing between levels or solving puzzles.
I needed to add multiple tools in the mine, because they can be hard to find, if there only was one of each.
You did well on the Knight’s quest, but the quest isn’t totally finished yet. That’s why he was rude - haha.  
I need to come up with some kind of reward for the player. Don’t exactly know what yet.

I am really glad you got hooked for more, and I will definitely let you know, when chapter 3 is ready.
Cheers

I liked the first chapter and I knew that I'd like this one too! Great job dev!

Hi Katy

Thank you so much for playing. I have replied to your Youtube channel
