Bitterwood Peak (RELEASE)

[Acies]

First playthrough (jotted down thoughts/"bugs" in order of playthough):

Spoiler below!

- There's an insanity sound during the intro (the "in darkness = scratches")
- Nice snow effect
- Good idea to border the map with textures
- Ah, the house
- Nice climb idea
- Odd place for a key (how is it staying there?)
- Nice voice-acting of the recordings!
- The "S" sounds of the first recording are too strong, my ears!
- The door to the bathroom has some odd normal mapping (probably crazybump on diffuse texture)
- Nice lighting around the fireplace!
- Walk upstairs and through web
- I cannot pick up the "health item" in the drawers lying down
- Oh a dead guy in the same room
- Second look at fireplace; maybe the light shouldn't fayde to completely black - in order to keep the billboard there at all times, just varying the intensity of it
- Start second recording while in room
- Oh a dog!
- Run!
- Arrives at "kitchen of doom"; lag-fest - voice recording still going
- Leave "kitchen of doom"; Lag disappears (might be my bad computer - but smoke's second batch of models was badly optimized not sure if fixed)
- The recording hinted at going outside - I'll try that
- See's dog pass while outside (Damn I'm slow and can't jump!)
- Head back a little, realize it's only a psyche scare
- Returns but finds the way forward to be blocked
- Tries another way "to the right of a large stone"
- Falls through map
- Fin

I'll give it another go, with lower settings! Was a long time since I played anything Amnesia related :]

Might optimize stuff if it comes to that. I'll return with a review/more thoughts once I finish it.

Good work so far! Cheers
