Sorry for the massive spoiler post, but seriously, if this sounds interesting, check out The Return of the Obra Dinn, it is phenomenal. Coupled with a randomly implemented supernatural theme while everything else is completely plausible The chase scene ruins the entire flow of the game and comes out of nowhere. There's only one mention to this ghost being possible and that's through a demonic circle being found in the first locked location, which is never mentioned in text or anything after this.
There's that and the fact that out of nowhere, a ghost appears and begins to help you, physically moving objects and eventually saving you
The chase scene is tense when it first begins, but after the third long loading screen cutting up the chase, it just feels unpolished and unfitting. After this a health bar appears out of nowhere and a badly animated lanky guy begins to chase you through several areas of the game. To further help players keep track of a system that could still be confusing we had to make sure everything was in alphabetical and chronological format.The game is a walking simulator at heart, where you go at your own pace, at the end of the game you find a cassette player where the killer just straight up confesses to the murder, and some other things. Since we had so many NPCs with their various documents that covered decades we needed a system that could get us to where we needed to be, when we wanted to be. Fortunately our programmer had a basic foundation with C# by that point, and she felt that it could be done. When we figured out that this sort of feature would be nearly necessary for players we were entering our internal beta testing. It was something that we'd wanted to have when we first designed the game, but it was dropped when we found no 'on-the-shelf' plugin that could do what we had in mind. So we decided to look back at a journal system. Although taking a photo of the pages was an option it just wasn't an ideal method when there's about a hundred documents in the game, and some of these can contain up to several pages. Some game testers complained that there were too many documents to read and to memorize. THE UNNECESSARY THAT BECAME NECESSARY The Journal System
