Honestly, I really enjoyed this game as an adventure game but I'm really worried about its' identity. I feel that it's riding a fence between an interesting comedy adventure and an adventure horror game. Maybe it's the demo, but if the game continues without a focus instead of choosing a proper identity, it might end up being neither funny nor scary.
The game works excellently, no gameplay bugs or annoyances. There is a camera angle in the corner of the gas station where you don't see your character for a bit but that's not a big deal.
I just hope the developers choose a proper goal for their game instead of the current shotgun spread of talent.
Also, can I voice a cool homeless guy or something?
A really solid demo! Excited for the full project, great stuff
I did get stuck on collision with the trees a few times where even if I reloaded the save I was still stuck to the tree, happened on 2 different trees, im sure you prob know :)
Aaaand just like everyone else, here I am finally playing through the Demo Disc.
10 Dead Doves impresses right away. The mixture of more modern standards of cinematic composition in cutscenes with oldschool character models and slightly-too-detailed faces gives the game a lot of personality right away, especially when the more mundane hiking part is immediately preceded by something wild and surreal to keep you engaged and curious.
Our two leads are great - charming and funny. But I do feel like their dialogue gets a bit too inside-jokey on occasion at least at first. I get that this is done to assert that the two know eachother well, but it happens a lot and very fast to the point of some parts of the dialogue being near incomprehensible, at least to me,
I'd also have liked if the demo either removed the trash if it doesn't play in until later, or gave some indication of what it will be good for. I compulsively picked it all up whenever I saw it with no payoff. But that's a very, very minor nitpick.
10 Dead Doves definitely has my attention for future purchase with its quirky identity and bizarre events - keep it up, guys. Excited to see where this goes.
Hey! I played this in the Spectral Mall Demo Disc and included it in my roundup video. Starts around 12:38 (if you only want to see this game). Best of luck with the development!
The unique story, fun dialogue, and creepy atmosphere has made this a demo to remember! One of the devs also seems to have a secret affinity for gas station hotdogs…..
I had a good time with this game!!! There were many moments I had good scares, not just the jump scares but from the surroundings as well! If you're curious about my experience, then you can check out the video on my channel or watch the video I posted here! Hip Hip Hooray! Don't give up on this masterpiece!
It would be wonderful if the subtitles where more readable! Currently with the font that's used and the fact it's a white text with no background, there's many cases where it's just unreadable and unfortunatly meant I had to watch a youtube video playthrough of it instead of continuing to play it myself..
I came here with little to no expectations, and I left so damn entertained. I love seeing developers do comedy horror right, and these guys are no exception. Well done, devs. Can't wait for the full release.
Mate this game is ticking all the boxes, mystery, nostalgia, the facial animations are well original holy sh*t you're taking me back to my telltale days friend, playing this demo made my night! Look forward to replaying it again this week im sure!
Just beautiful, and I love the tone. So much different than games I have played before and I want to see more. I have wishlisted this and want it as soon as it is released (or before :P) Anyway thanks Duonix Studios for making this game demo playable and if you can share this out with your community it helps the YouTube Algorithm to share it out to other new people.
Hello, I played this game and I had a lot of fun with it! Amazing voice acting and cutscenes, and the whole setting was great, can't wait for the full game, good work :)
after playing the demo in the Spectral Mall last night i am highly highly anticipating this game. horrifically goofy and mysterious premise with a great art style among so many other great things going on here.
Great work on the dialogue. It is really entertaining seeing the main characters interact with each other. The game really gives a strange feeling of weirdness to the world, especially with the step ladder and the wanted poster. Really feels like it will be a unique quirky horror game looking forward to the full release.
