Naiko's Room - Chapter 2

I haven't realized Chapter 2 was just out a week ago. Gotta play now 👍

But for real, the art and animations in this game are out of this world, I cannot stress enough, they are SO GOOD aaaaaaaaAAAAAAAAAAA.

The game itself is also pretty fun, VERY spooky and the lore it's on point, it really expands a lot on what chapter one laid; My only issue was that one of the routes was apparently bugged so I could not play the game at 100% but I played as much as I could and I loved all of it.

This game no doubt will become a classic in time (and with some elbow grease!) and it's definitely in my top 10 RPGmaker horror games ever, I am glad this is the last game I got to play before becoming a virtual ghost, 10/10 would eat a bowl of stuff again.

Keep up the good work!

I did a gameplay about this and super excited for the next chapter. I like the storyline so far and it made me curious as well. I'm looking forward to this! I hope this game will be mainstream because it deserves more recognition. This game is so awesome, really!

I love this game, and is one of the only few games that I seem to be invested to and would want to follow, i love Chapter 1 so far, i also love some minor things like the Tea minigame, i also love the design of characters they look good, i also love the minor animations in a dialog, pretty nice!

thisvgame is so good omg

help this game is so good but literallt no one knows ab it

me making my friends play it so i can be ill ab it tot hem

I absolutely loved it! since the first scenario, i was immersed in the story, the universe building is very unique and its a different setting having a character who isnt determinated, could relate a lot to her, can't wait to learn more about lucy and naiko!    it's very well written, i loved reading the books.

As a enjoyer of interacting with every object and npc, the hallway dialogues were everything to meit's very well written, also loved reading the books. The animations and the soundtrack are top tier too, they're so fit in

 kinda want a blank clock now just to stare my soul

Anyway thank you so much for making this game, had a lot of fun playing, can't wait to see next chapters! <3

Hi!

I a horror composer  and I just saw and played your game! Really interesting, I particularly like this specific theme of storytelling using very "slow-burn" like tropes, such as monotony, purposelessness, which I think your game translated very well. I'm midway to the end of  the first chapter, but here's my feedback:

- Good music, the chromatic change and dense repetition of notes works well for its purpose, although I think it's a bit repetitive, you could've enlarged the soundtracks and added more details while still maintaining the repetitiveness, the last piano track I composed I did exactly that. So, it's possible.

- Average SFX, it works, but we could certainly add a bit more detail and nuance to it (of course, maybe the project doesn't really need that, so take it with a grain of salt).

- Awesome level design and storytelling, I know it's not easy to create a compelling story and combine it well with the level design of the game, you did that well.

Made a video on Naiko's Room 

This was really great I cant wait to see more

Found this game through this video and I gotta say, I love it so much! The characters are cool and I can't wait for the next chapter to see where the story is going.

The clock may not have hands but Naiko's room sure do because this game packs a punch, first of all I have to start with the most impressive part, this game looks gorgeous, I was losing my mind every little animated cutscene, they add so much more value to the whole game and this is now my standard for RPGmaker horror games, still images are not enough anymore! (jk).

The music was good and more importantly it was properly used, I like when reading or talking the music gets lower, that is very nice immersion trick specially when using headphones.

The story is much more ironed and focused, and therefore enjoyable, I can sense some inspiration from other games and media that feel pretty original and well implemented, I very much like the changes made from the demo, this is the superior version (Although I still like the extra bits of the first one) the maps are much more detailed and are easy to navigate without looking dull. The tea minigame was a nice surprise and it's very fun, as well as the bring snacks quest, it is nice to see a dream world with other people living their own lives (dreams?) for a change.

Finally, the characters have so much more...character, I like Naiko even more, and Timmy too, Ashley is more much fleshed out (And I hate her!) as well as the whole world, can't wait for the rest of the story to come out; I would comment more about the story but I don't want to spoil people.

Now, for the not-so perfect parts, the game has some typos and grammar mistakes that are not big deal but are worth mentioning, I found at least 3 invisible walls (probably events) that blocked paths and the only bug I found was the game crashing while I tried to save at school. literally the worse time for a crash to happen.

I also wanted to mention the school chase scene that prevented me from finishing the game on video (I plan to finish it later when I get the time) I feel like that was close to the end and maybe because of that less polished but the fact that the player doesn't get a save prompt before and/or en between each is mortifying, I am all in for challenges and hard chase scenes but that feels more like a critical game design error, what if people have to stop playing for whatever reason? you don't even get to pause the game during the scene.

I could go longer about the chase itself having some design problems but this comment is already too long and I also made a video.

Overall this game is very enjoyable, even with those flaws and I say you should feel very proud of what you accomplished, this is a product of very high quality and I can't wait to see what's next on Naiko's room.

--------------------------

Update: I finished the game, I liked the rest of the lore on the girls and I am glad the ending from the demo is still there, I liked it a lot, the game still crashed one time for some reason (Probably because I am too good at games) I still feel the chase scene is kinda wonky but definitely can be completed when you are not in a rush.

The something-pedia entries are good back lore, I am personally not a big fan of that kind of stories (Mandella catalogue and SCP comes to mind) but the cosmic entities. the bigger-than-us universe and all that is something I love to see, what was the illustrations and the format of the book are of course very well done. And the pills scene was a  nice surprise, I am glad I came back to finish the game.

Keep up the good work!

Been looking foward to this, I loved this first chapter! Cant wait to see more in the future ☺️

yay<3
