The hearts for the GF constantly lower when you're not responding to her, and the mother's room entering mechanic has no minimum cap on how many seconds there will be between entry, which means after beating the first maze (gf's hearts go down to 5) if the mother enters the room twice in a row (entirely possible and has happened to me a dozen times), you literally don't have enough time to swipe open the phone before all your hearts drain. The bugginess for unlocking the phone doesn't help either because it makes swiping the phone open even slower which, again, can make the game unbeatable. This absolutely leads to a difficulty increase due to bugs.Honestly I find all the people complaining about the "difficulty" and saying the bugs make everything harder to be hilarious. I agree that this game has a couple of bugs (perhaps the prior release was worse since there are marginally less complaints about bugs and moreso difficulty following this new patch) but if you think the bugs are making it HARDER you're just straight up wrong. So long as you can get enough hearts for the GF to send you the maze, you can literally just brute force the game into letting you finish. How? Well after playing the game for 5 minutes I noticed the game doesn't force close your phone when you lose. Yeah there's an animation on the left, but tbh I blame player ignorance when you lose to the timer on the maze, while having the maze or ANYTHING on the phone open, and you somehow just decide to hit the play again button instead of messing around. That happened ONCE to me and I said f- it why not just full send it on the maze and see what happens.
Well I did, and guess who was able to just start up the next round and immediately go to download the image and respond to more texts? You know the answer. It was that easy. You can literally just get to the point where she gives you the maze and just not even worry about the timer. I do not know if the mother's game over screen has the same bug, but that wasn't something I explored since I never failed to her unless I was making abhorrently greedy timing decisions, which was only a few times as I was learning.
I agree with anyone and everyone who says that the game really should have had more on it's initial release if the developer was going to release it. It shouldn't have such major bugs regardless of whether they help or hinder the player. But that being said, any of y'all still complaining about difficulty after the recent update when the mother gives a walking audio cue, followed by a visual light cue, and yet ANOTHER audio cue of her about to open the door, and it doesn't even game over you if you're putting the phone down as it begins to open? And if you get unfairly repeat attacked by the mom you can just get caught by the GF and brute force the maze anyway? Nah. You're buggin. Pun intended. Game's easy.
I was curious if there'd be a reward for getting to the end of the week, but I decided since I got all the images it wasn't worth the effort to check, which is another negative for the game, because as a player I should have incentive to do so.
I didn't read the rest of your essay because lol
