It IS Theme Park. Your turn!

Maybe with some more?

Who recognizes this interface button?

That's Rampart. I love that one.

Yup!

Next a cropped one:

Schleichfahrt?

Depends on the kind of world and the rules you want to establish, I guess. I liked Full Throttle, because it didn't overwhelm the player with endless dialogue to establish its world, yet it still managed to convey the image of its dystopian setting just by details: the red-and-purple colour scheme, the opposition of oldschool bikers vs hover-car driving business men, the music etc.
Or The Dig. You somehow "get" the world just via the design choices.

It's the same way Ben304's games work. You might not know what the world is like, but you feel it, and that, to me, is more important.

Yes, it is.

Yes, an Asian movie. If you look closely, you might even guess the country.
The movie is listed in the IMDB Top 250.

None of them.
Next clue:

No.

It's definitely non-occidental, but it's not obscure.

Seen it like ten times. Great movie!

Next:

Looks like John Carpenter's In The Mouth Of Madness.

Played it again and now got the message. Maybe I accidentally clicked it away the first time.

I think the fighting might feel better with more hit responses. Now, when you hit the guy, he gets knocked back and grunts, which is good. Maybe a sound (or a variety of sounds) of your weapon hitting a body would feel better.

Cool! It feels great wandering around, the atmosphere is superb.

The fighting works okay, although it doesn't feel satisfying enough yet. I feel like hitting air all the time.

I wondered why the size of the screens changes so often. It's always like windowed except for the first dungeon scene, which is fullscreen.

I'm not too fond of the controls. Using the keyboard for walking, interacting and fighting works fine and feels well, but having to switch to mouse control some times is tedious, especially when the keyboard controls require both hands to play. If one could use WASD to control the character, that would be less of a problem. But I can't imagine playing with a gamepad and having to switch to mouse from time to time; that just doesn't seem right.

Inventory is too slow for my taste. The fade out and the zoom effect just take too long. When you click "inventory", it should just pop up.

When looting the first guy, I didn't get any message what I obtained.

The life bar isn't informative enough. First I thought I had very low health; the bar is small, it's red; but then I wasn't so sure anymore. It would be great to have a visual clue of how much life I have left, like a border showing the maximum health or something.

On the first screen, you can leave the screen through the top right path. However, when you choose the lower right path, Jack just walks off screen and nothing happens.

Anyways, its a promissing demo

I have played the PS3 version, which worked just fine, so I have no idea, really.
All I can say is that you should try everything to get it to work properly. That certain something had me like this game more than most games I've played in the last couple of years.

It has a strong QBasic vibe, but I have no clue what this might be.
