Shepherd Among Wolves (demo)

My first question in such a situation would be: "Why am I not in a hospital?"

So why can't you ask such an OBVIOUS question?

(I would imagine someone who kidnapped you -assuming he did- would have some excuse for why that is impossible, and then have another excuse when you insist you want to go there right now.... but it should still be a choice to ask for it.

Only an idiot assumes someone who finds you after an accident and don't take you to trained professionals to ensure you're unharmed is doing it to be nice.)

Also.... Is this 'Baba' a parent or boyfriend? The game is REALLY unclear there.
It DOES sound like a boyfriend, but it's tricky to say for sure.

The whole "find the one or two objects that move the story forward" part is kinda annoying too btw.
If it was an investigation game, it might make sense, but in this game is appears as if it's a pointless thing you -have- to do to move the game forward, instead of just keep clicking.

Which is to say; It serves no real purpose, and thus it comes off as a roadblock, not a fun game.

The game seems far too short for a proper demo, so... Is this game still in development?

The artwork is nice enough, and the love interest looks good.
(There is no way to know his personality with such a short meeting, however.)

And the writing in itself shows promise, but again; Far too short to judge anything by.

I hope to see more of the game when it's out tho. The premise is interesting.

But PLEASE add the hospital call thing, and make sure he has a damned good excuse for why he didn't take you there and why he can't call them or anyone else right now.

(Whether he's weirdly religious, a hermit living off the land who don't know where the closest town is, miles away from the nearest city (but it require him to know you were lost), and he has chosen a life without electricity and therefore don't own a phone --whatever it is, it needs to be a reason, and it needs to be a GOOD reason.

...I will allow for the fact that he could say he tried but the hospital refused to take you without an ID and health insurance cuz you're in america and american doctors are assholes that way --and then have your ID papers nowhere to be found later, which he claims is because someone must have stolen them.

That would actually add a layer of intrigue and danger later in the game if you find them as one of the last pieces of the puzzle revealing he did indeed kidnap and lie to you.

If that is where this game is going.)

So far tho... The game has potential.
