As the stupid chud I am I would have instantly dismissed this game if it were not for the fact that its fucked up bruh, having your leg blown smoove off by a mine to then be launched from the explosion into the soundblact from a soundcannon to then slowly freeze and drown to death in a pool of oil while wearing a life support pump is kinda nutty, this game cant be properly surmissed in a simple review so I plan to make a video on it but I give you my congratulations for making this and I actually look foward to its updates.
Someone helped me with it but considering documenting some stuff from the game... just remind yourself to take breaks... don't get burned out... Or perhaps enjoy the thrill of the unknown, it is in the new name... May the exe show you
Both are very fun depending on how you like the game
this is a very, very good concept that i am going to follow, but i have some constructive criticism to offer from the perspective of someone familiar with this sort of gameplay experience.
1) the world generation is veeery rough at the moment. call it a skill issue but i can't even get through the gravel pits because of the alternating unpredictable chasms of death and impenetrably-thick walls. it's so, so easy to put yourself into a pit too wide to walljump out of where the only way out is to dig, dig, dig, fast forward to rest, repeat. not fun at all, especially with no quick method of restarting a run. this isn't even mentioning loot that's effectively totally inaccessible due to worldgen.
2) it is far, far, FAR too dark. i know what you're trying to go for by making light sources necessary, but it's literally impossible to see anything that isn't already surrounded by glowplants or holes in the wall. this combined with the eye-searing bloom of light sources makes visual clarity suffer greatly, to the point that even in lit places i'll walk into shade crawlers that i can't see through the VFX. i think giving the glowfruits a slightly wider radius, lowering the bloom, and making them spawn a little more spread out would do some good, as would lowering the overall blackness. having the caves start off relatively well-lit and THEN progress into pitch-dark would probably improve the experience as well and keep players actually searching for sources of light as they progress instead of harvesting dozens of glowfruits to throw like flares from minute one.
3) back to "no quick method of restarting a run," an actual pause menu with options other than 'main menu' is probably the absolute most necessary thing right now. ending up in a pool of dirty water going into shock repeatedly from blood loss and pain effectively ends the run and with no way to start a new one other than going all the way back to the menu, it makes failing early on or with good loot FAR more irritating than it should be. a settings tab to adjust things like max framerate and/or the bloom and gamma would also be deeply appreciated by many.
TL;DR -- excellent concept and framework, but ultimately too player-hostile at the moment to be easily approachable. and this is coming from a noita/baro/zomboid/dayZ/tarkov/rust player. that said, i'm INCREDIBLY excited to see where this goes and i'm going to keep trying it out on and off to see if any of these issues are simply a me problem. thank you for sharing your work, and keep at it.
Hi everyone, before I say anything I just wanted to say this game is 1000000000000/10 the person behind this did an amazing job they should be proud of themselves.
I Just had a brutal death yesterday probably one of my most, I just spawned wondered around for a little, I jumped down off a cliff to what I thought was a trap free area but no I was very wrong there was a spike trap, I Landed right on top of it went off and went clean through my head, my neck was destroyed, my jaw pulverized and my brain was half gone somehow I was still alive and was able to stand up unsurprisingly like 30 seconds later or less I died.
Btw this all happened in a span of like 5 minutes (quickest death I've had)
Also sorry for the long and possibly confusing comment I'm horrible at communicating what I mean sometimes.
I've done a few rounds of this now, on one run I somehow opened up a chatbox that gave me access to admin commands, couldn't figure out how to close it and started messing around with it cause while its open I cant move, discovered the explode command and heal command, free pass down to toxic wastes while spamming explosions and heals,fell into cave system and my head hit a ledge in such a way it ripped my head off, no healing that apparently. Now I can't figure out how the hell I opened that chatbox up, do love that I can make him say things tho. Also found a jetpack on one run, very fun and easy to use and quite powerful cause you can even use it while ragdolled
Created a Account just to talk about this game just to say that the many ways to die are hella brutal. The many different afflictions your damned-to-die canine can get are endless.
Some of The many different ways Experiment can suffer is:
-breaking your jaw, or your ribs, or your spine
- Accidentally stepping on broken glass
-Literal Brain damage
-Shock from Agonizing pain
- Getting blood into your lungs leading to Hypoxia
- "Accidently" overdosing on Heroin
-Accidently mixing sleeping pills with other drugs, leading to respiratory arrest
-Opioid Addiction
- Getting permanent hearing loss (Probably, but it would be funny to add.)
-And, my favorite one, getting Traumatized, leading to depression.
(Dont forget that you can permanently lose some body parts, like your jaw(I don't think you can lose any actual limbs, i hope.))
This game actually legitimately made me sick to my stomach. watching this little guy die slowly and agonizingly. This game, in all of its pixelated glory, is literally not for the faint of heart. You will die, as there is no end, and unless you go back to menu (Couldn't blame you), you can only do nothing but watch as that red circle showing your brain's final moments makes its one and only slow revolution as those afflictions at the bottom bob up and down, taunting you as Experiment's final death rattle finally takes its soul out of its mortal plane. And you can only see the corpse, one of literally thousands of others strewn about on this forsaken planet, waiting for another poor soul to encounter your dead body, and loot what you had when you died.
Also this game has a dope soundtrack plz listen to ittttttttttttttttt
This game goes hard, I got dejawed from falling on a spike funny.
The hurt sounds actually got me feeling bad the first few hard falls.
I love how the character is constantly talking about things, and how sometimes your character seemingly directly calls you out (wonder the implications of that), because of that the consequences really hit me when I used mindwipe.
Soooo, I made it to the toxic wastes for the first time
>be Expie >lvl 1 EZ >lvl 2 EZ >Desert for the first time >OH GOD WTF IS THAT FLESH BLOB >irl scream >reflexively jump of cliff >second irl scream >bush MLG >eat cactus coz hungry, thirsty and hawt >make it to *safe* space >depressed nap >get down to ASAP to cycle back to first lvl >oh wait, lvl 4: toxic wastes >okay, just keep going >nap, wake up coughing >keep going down quickly >fall, hard >try to bandage self >Subject shows signs of resistance >get high on painkillers >bandage self >sonic cannon. >fuck. >at least Expie too dumb to be sad >keep going down at breakneck speed >reach end, but exhausted >find "safe" space >floor covered in oil >fuck. >too tired to move >too tired to dig >take nap in oil
Sweet dreams, Expie. May the afterlife be graced with your soul.
My first run lasted all of 30 seconds. I dropped in, tried to say hello to the nearby drop pod inhabitant because friend, and then got evaporated by a trap i didnt even see.
Finally... a game that makes me feel 1% of the suffering I feel with WarThunder.
Addictive and very unforgiving. One second I was rolling, the next, I rolled off of a cliff, causes internal bleeding, and now I am breathing with blood in my lungs. Highly recommend
good evening everyone, in my experience i have played this game, and what happened was i fell down a hole i drowned and after i tried to get out a cave tick bit my head and i started bleeding half of the game after that i put a bandage on my head and when i tried to walk somewhere i tripped or fainted somewhere hit my head on some concrete i fell down and hit my head again causing it to bleed and give me scizophrenia and made me rethink my life choices for 10 hours and then when i came back i started playing again and i saw my character that fell so hard to the point my screen just went black with a |....!| thingy yknow but i played the game again i found fentanyl i overdosed i fell into some water, couldt get out drowned, tried again and after i tried again, i died, thanks for looking at my story i love you.
Good day today, found this game. played it, got every possible broken bone and several traumatic head injuries, oh and drowned in oil since i kept passing out. 11/10
Excluding the old droppod loading screen being replaced (you probably had a good reason). I absolutely LOVE the new update.. If I had money I'd throw some at you I love this so much i genuinely sob as I realise that I cant save my character anymore. I feel awful for quitting and abandoning them, I love their months opening and the little sounds they make.
Also when they seemingly directly address me I feel like they're my little babies and any time I hurt them I want to curl into a ball and cry because they dont deserve this all...
also LOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE I love it all
In short, lovely attention to detail, lovely game. I got to 1000 and a bit meters first run then died due to lack of infection cures. 10/10, I love your game so much please take as much time between updates as you need too I know it'll be good idc if I have to wait longer to get more amazing stuff like this
PS: if its any note to how much I love your game, I've started making my own personal list of every item, note, object, terrain or whatever when I remember to open notepad. Genuinely love Having a list of my own of every item creature, plant, so o
only played until the second layer, but man is this game horrifying, out of everything it does well i can say the atmosphere is the biggest one, you can almost feel the panic your character is feeling when he starts vomiting blood or breaks a bone, best part being how due to how you can recover from almost fatal injuries it can leave you in suspension wondering if you'll make it or not.
also, damn if that spider nest wasn't the most horrifying thing i found, left me bledding from every body part and got me infected in 2 limbs, really was a panicked scramble to run away.
I love the update to the main menu tentacle! Really ominous when you first notice it, and very fun to play around with now that it has a better mesh
Very glad for the fluids update. You cannot - well, Orsoniks definitely can - imagine how many times I died from lack of water. I also love the way the experiments shake themselves when they're wet lol. SO CUTE! ^w^
So, internal bleeding is now more lethal. That's nice, that's nice. Bled out in a survivor's "hut". He gave me an old rag, so I just kinda decided to rest there, with the survivor. Bad idea. Died slowly.
I don't like the new CGs. I liked the old ones more. You know, the game-over screens? The game beginning screens? Yeah, I loved the old ones. Sad that they were replaced :(
So, I found some heroin, again. It would've saved my life if I hadn't fallen in a pit of water and drowned pathetically. I wonder why you didn't make a CG for drowning, though I guess making CGs for every way to die would get out of hand really quickly, huh?
TL;DR: Game still great. Like update. Like main menu tentacle. Don't like new game-over screens, keep old ones.
Keep being awesome, Orsoniks! Still waiting for that Gunsaw update lol
Found an odd bug easy to recreate. It requires you to get knocked out by a box, this can be done by having one fall on top of you or jumping under one. The bug is after waking up you can no longer use your arms to do anything (dig, attack enemies, break boxes, ect).
getting a similar bug, when i download on web it straight up doesn't let me download because it says "virus detected" and the download isn't compatible with the itch launcher I could probably disable a ton of security features and whatnot, but... I don't wanna do all that for a problem that might get fixed soon... so yeah
EDIT: dont know what i did differently but it worked now. i dont think anything updated so.. thats cool,, will update again if anything goes wrong
update was so good! infact, it crashed my pc into a blue screen which shut down everything yay. also now i cant even play the game because it turned into an audio file for some reason..
Dawg you trippin and tweakin :skull: tf you mean your game became an audio file? I think your computer might actually be tweakin. I do NOT want what it's on.
Okay, enough with the cookin of 25, just factory reset your computer and try again. Because I am 99% sure that will fix your issues. Well, if you're not joking.
Or, do my favorite word in the world of technology, have you tried turning it off and on again?
This game is a work of art every run im learning new things and new mechanics, reminds me alot of Decaying Winter with how brutally the game will fuck you over in more ways than one.

I'd be happy to buy this on Steam once you're ready to publish there.
As the stupid chud I am I would have instantly dismissed this game if it were not for the fact that its fucked up bruh, having your leg blown smoove off by a mine to then be launched from the explosion into the soundblact from a soundcannon to then slowly freeze and drown to death in a pool of oil while wearing a life support pump is kinda nutty, this game cant be properly surmissed in a simple review so I plan to make a video on it but I give you my congratulations for making this and I actually look foward to its updates.
Hopefully being burned alive in that pit of oil will be added eventually.
Someone helped me with it but considering documenting some stuff from the game... just remind yourself to take breaks... don't get burned out...
Or perhaps enjoy the thrill of the unknown, it is in the new name...
May the exe show you

You can actually restart the run by pressing 0, as in other games from this developer, but the game doesn't tell about it being an option
Do not play this game at 0 AM. I warned ya :> [10 Runs out of 10]

Huge Rainworld, Barotrauma, and Starbound vibes.

я хочу играть месте с другом и сохранение
мне нравится эта игра но я хочу играть вместе другом и сохранение
holy peak..
floating shade crawler
very fun game met 3 sound cannons while crawling around the wasteland layer
Addictive and very unforgiving. One second I was rolling, the next, I rolled off of a cliff, causes internal bleeding, and now I am breathing with blood in my lungs. Highly recommend
Really good, water geyser slipping into barbed wire :( so true
Anything else?
Me after "tripping" and falling down a solid 500 meters while hitting every rock face possible to "slow my fall".
you missed low stamina and opioid overdose. And depression, probably
Just short of the "How did we get here?" achievement lol
I accidentally touched barbed wire
And the next thing i see is my character turning from black to dripping yellow mess
10/10 game, i love it
Amazing game, amazing community, hope to see the game grow!
pro tip for players! drink the oil it heals you /j
thx
given this game, surprised it doesnt cause a laxitive effect.
Dang this game has improved alot splended work hope to see more updates, I really enjoyed playing Scav <3

Good day today, found this game. played it, got every possible broken bone and several traumatic head injuries, oh and drowned in oil since i kept passing out.
11/10
Then i played it the game after it downloaded.
20/10
So in your original comment, you didn't even begin playing? How does that work?
"played it" as in finally getting a chance to survive
dementia
Excluding the old droppod loading screen being replaced (you probably had a good reason). I absolutely LOVE the new update..

Did you add heroin and jetpacks to the list yet?
yeah lol

overall, pretty good.
Says no compatible downloads were found.
I love the update to the main menu tentacle! Really ominous when you first notice it, and very fun to play around with now that it has a better mesh

i cannot keep the old ones, they were inaccurate anyway
Aww, why not? TwT
Found an odd bug easy to recreate. It requires you to get knocked out by a box, this can be done by having one fall on top of you or jumping under one. The bug is after waking up you can no longer use your arms to do anything (dig, attack enemies, break boxes, ect).
before they fix liquids i was ragdoll my just a single oil that fall on my head and fall onto 2 landmines
Did you die from infection or blood loss?
Yeah that's normal. You just have to click on the more info thing, I think, and it should give you the option to run anyways.
getting a similar bug, when i download on web it straight up doesn't let me download because it says "virus detected" and the download isn't compatible with the itch launcher
I could probably disable a ton of security features and whatnot, but... I don't wanna do all that for a problem that might get fixed soon... so yeah
EDIT: dont know what i did differently but it worked now. i dont think anything updated so.. thats cool,, will update again if anything goes wrong
oh ye, just retried it again and it went through lol, didnt disable anything, all good :3
new update is amazing!! (and sound cannons are absolutely terrifying)
The sound cannons are terrific, add more!
update was so good! infact, it crashed my pc into a blue screen which shut down everything yay. also now i cant even play the game because it turned into an audio file for some reason..
???
I hate to have that problem man but, i have never laughed out loud this hard in a long time when you said the game turn it self in a audio file XD
bros on knock off linux 😭
Dawg you trippin and tweakin :skull: tf you mean your game became an audio file? I think your computer might actually be tweakin. I do NOT want what it's on.
Okay, enough with the cookin of 25, just factory reset your computer and try again. Because I am 99% sure that will fix your issues. Well, if you're not joking.
Or, do my favorite word in the world of technology, have you tried turning it off and on again?
ok here's some proof of the game being an audio file
You probably have a virus, that can't be the game lol
It's the game and playable I just need to open it using a .rar file extractor app as windows thinks it's an audio file
Yaay, update!
The mechanics are really impressive, Id love to see more like this.
This game is a work of art every run im learning new things and new mechanics, reminds me alot of Decaying Winter with how brutally the game will fuck you over in more ways than one.
10/10 would die brutally again.
