The game does have the stealth element and it's somewhat broken but still quite fun! You are always spotted even if you are under disguise. That is the broken stealth mechanic IMO. But on if you crouch you won't be heard but can still be seen. You can crouch + run (which is an unusual way to move) but that is the way to be in stealth. Keep moving from hiding spot to the next one. Another way that stealth mechanic is broken is that you can see a very llimited range of area around you. You can't spot an enemy moving towards you until it's too late. You can use your "sense" but it will slow down time, not stop it. Meaning that the enemy is still moving towards you. And you would need to keep doing it almost every 2 seconds if you truly want to spot an enemy from a little distance. But what makes this broken mechanic somewhat tolerable is that you don't have any restrictions in saving the game. So you save. Move. Get spotted. Load. Repeat that over and over again for every enemy (and there are quite a lot!) I also found lots of crates that I could loot but hardly anything worth looting. It was all worthless junk except for a food item or two. That makes the looting mechanic broken as well. But the game is still quite interesting because of the story and the way the goals get updated. Overall, a fun game with broken mechanics. But you can dodge those broken mechanics with a bazzilion incessant save-reloads. Overall, still fun.
The conversations in the island need to be cut down to a fifth at least. Also, the game seems to have performance issues and slows down to a crawl sometimes.
One of the most incredible stories that I've ever come across. What a beautiful writing! I absolutely loved this game. Loved both characters a lot. The emotions felt intense and the game feels memorable. The rain in between was crazy amazing! I would love to know what happens next. I loved the gameplay as well. Although it could be a little less verbose (smaller and fewer sentences). But I loved the dialogues, the use of simple puzzle, and I feel a strong connect with the story. The graphics and music were very immersive. Can't wait for the full version to come out.
