That would be a good a idea. Difficulty is one of the hardest thing to make when developing a game, as you either end up making a game impossible to beat or a game too easy that doesn't give a sense of accomplishment to the player
Mr. Bob was right, the house was designed to torture me. I've been trying to navigate through the maze for like 30 minutes or more and keep dying because I keep going to the wrong directions even tho there's a pile of skeleton bones guiding me.
But hey, I finally managed to beat the game. Its was so fun totally did not rage and broke my keyboard while playing it (:
By the way, I can't help but mention how incredible Alesa's cake was. It's a true masterpiece of artistry. I even had the thought of printing a picture of it and framing it as a funny souvenir.
I love how Alesa runs<3 I love how Mr. Bob run over the content warning<3 Buttcheeks clappingiu8ifteqgifgbfgqifgqeifeiuqwgui<3 Bunny Alesa returns<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
Nah, they are just decoration to show that, indeed, that is the insanity hall for a reason hahaha. Actually, Alesa was supposed to say something related to the stairs but it seems I forgot to activate it. She just said somethin like "why are there stairs in the middle of the room? They don't lead anywhere though..."
oh, and I definitely messed up my file by triggering the mother chase too early so I'm excited to get back in and start a new game where I can make progress again! Lol
I played it ASAP and I was surprised in multiple ways with this game, as a standalone experience as well as a sequel to the original.
The game has many MANY twists and turns and it's fun to be unraveling the story with the new pieces of lore about the family and interactions with the characters, is definitely an enchantment from the first one.
The game has a more comedic tone, no doubt about it, and although I enjoyed 99% (Not a fan of fart jokes sorry) of the jokes and that amazing introduction scene, I feel my expectations got crushed since I was expecting pure horror just as the first game, this is of course a personal preference and it doesn't make or break the game in any significant way. Actually it may help people that have trouble with horror to deal with the game better.But it indeed affected my first impressions.
I was a little worried by how fast the sequel was developed but everything looks and sounds even better, I have no idea how you do it! Alesa is lovely as ever and the new monsters are all really quirky and fun to interact with. and some new enemy designs as well as endings are REALLY GOOD.
Not gonna spoil anything about the endings but I love that we get a lot more endings and outcomes, albeit a little simpler than the original game endings but I rather have the freedom to decide my own unique outcome like in this one. The romance is also fun.
Great way of implementing the trigger warnings, and I don't know if I missed something but I didn't see anything resembling Thalassophobia?
I also liked how the game embraced Alesa's cake but sometimes it feels a little bit too focused into that, and even tough it makes for some amazing jokes (I lost it at the Mannequin ass cheeks clap) it took me out of the horror.
It indeed remind me of some horror movies sense of humor, the inspirations are clear and very well implemented, specially I feel the cosmic horror addition was a great thing, it makes the whole Mr.bob thing a lot more complicated and hard to understand (This is a good thing).
So, even if I did not enjoy the comedy 100% I am still OK with it and respect your creative decision to include it, I am not asking for anything to change (except maybe the mirror sound effect that almost sacrificed my sense of hearing haha).
I hope I can be here to keep enjoying your future games sorry about the long review.
Hikiyami! Thank you so much! I watched the whole video (almost 3 hours hahaha) and I really appreciate all the feedback. There are definitely many aspects that could have been better and I understand the tone shift from pure horror to dark comedy horror might not be everyone's cup of tea (and the fart jokes are too much), but as you mentioned, there's the risk of making the exact same game again (and then you get accused of making the same game) and sometimes it's hard live up to the previous version. I took a gamble and I guess people will be divided regarding the jokes and the tone shift. I'll definitely go back to pure horror for my next project. Nevertheless, your feedback is really valuable and I will certainly keep it in mind for future projects! And I will certainly never use that mirror sound effect again hahahaha
Here are some clarifications:
-the paintings are not references to anyone, I was just messing around with paint and came up with whatever crossed my mind, but I guess they could be family members who lived in another house -the hat not disappearing is actually a bug, but it could also be that the puppet forgot to take it -the lamp in the basement is a reference to the lamp ending from the first game -the ghostly clock was needed so that the worshipper tells you the time (12:30), so then you tell that number to cousin Marietta. But you solved the puzzle earlier than expected hahaha -Greta is not a floating head hahaha, she's just wearing a pitch black dress. At times, you can see her arms and hands -Thalassophobia was supposed to be represented in the mermaid's cave, but I guess it didn't work as intended -the mini bobs and rotten Alesas are not real enemies, they said random things. The rotten Alesa creature is supposed to represent what Alesa will become if she marries Mr. Bob
I'm probably forgetting something but anyway
Thanks again for the playthrough and your feedback! I really enjoyed the video!
Alright, I finished the game and got all the endings! Overall, I can see substantial improvement and it's a great game! I'm not sure how well the more comedic direction will be received by others, but I didn't mind it.
Mr. Bob himself was a bit disappointing though. He used to be scarier in the first game I think.

ATTENTION (AND SPOILERS):
in the 2nd floor (Mr. Bob's house), in the hallway that leads to the 3rd floor, you're not supposed to outrun the mother before getting the blade of Zagaracathal, it's supposed to be a scripted event where you face her. If you did and then you saved on the 3rd floor, then that file is ruined. I'm uploading a fixed version so that you can't outrun the mother.
tl;dr: if you outrun the mother in the 2nd floor (Mr. Bob's house, near the end of the game) before getting the blade of Zagaracathal, DO NOT SAVE or you'll be screwed. I'll upload the fixed version right now (if you saved, discard that file)

game is super fun but to me it felt a little easier maybe add a hard mode if you make a part 3
So, something like how difficulty worked in TSITAM? (There's Something in the Abergast Mines)
yeah i guss.. i havent played that game though .
That would be a good a idea. Difficulty is one of the hardest thing to make when developing a game, as you either end up making a game impossible to beat or a game too easy that doesn't give a sense of accomplishment to the player
I just updated the game. That chase section can be skipped now

(how to get 8th ending?)
Hahaha I'm glad you liked it! To get ending 8, just talk to the twins and answer "yes" when asked to become their pet
oh I already did that, but forgot:)
but what about the cake - is there some secret to it?
It's just a joke item hahahaha
and the stairs in the middle of the room too? I thought they actually lead somewhere...

What a fun game! Still scary with some more humor, I can't wait to get the other endings!
oh, and I definitely messed up my file by triggering the mother chase too early so I'm excited to get back in and start a new game where I can make progress again! Lol
Wait! You don't need to start a new file!
I thought it wasn't possible to escape from her after you save in the 3rd floor. But you managed to do it! So your file is safe
OH AMAZING! I'm like a ninja 😎
When I saw you do it, I couldn't believe it hahaha. You managed to do what was supposed to be impossible! Great skills!
Thank you so much! : D I'm sorry about the frustrating deaths hahahah
Lmao they were well worth it!
Very good game
Thank you so much Blaze! That was a great playthrough!
No problem
the best game series in the world and I mean it
Woow thank you so much for your words! Fun video, it seems Mr. Bob and the mother managed to scare you, haha!
yeah they did lol keep up the great stuff

ALL HAIL ALESA'S MASSIVE CAKE
I BELIEVE IN ALESA'S CAKE SUPREMACY!
Alright, I finished the game and got all the endings! Overall, I can see substantial improvement and it's a great game! I'm not sure how well the more comedic direction will be received by others, but I didn't mind it.
Mr. Bob himself was a bit disappointing though. He used to be scarier in the first game I think.
Still, great job on the game!
Thank you so much Beregon!
-----------------------------Already corrected, ignore this--------------
CLARIFICATION: there are 9 endings, not 10. The "ending 1/10" message is a mistake (it's supposed to say 1/9)
Originally, there were supposed to be 10 endings, but one of them was too disturbing and had to be discarded
Fixed version is up now and the mother is working as intended
