This was fantastic! Great controls, VERY good atmosphere and use of camera angles!
Only complaint:
The scenes between Arthur and Sarah could be a bit shorter for me (lots of text with hardly any camera movement). I first thought "eh" in the boat scene and was blown away when arriving at the coast, seeing all the details, lights etc. But that may just be me.
Really cool game honestly, kept me intrigued with the little details like the journal and dialogue to the bigger ones like the chain and the big scare. Lovely work anyways best of luck on the full version! If you wanna see my playthrough check here -
I run the Fixed Camera Appreciation Society on Steam - please let me know if we can help promote your game in any way (eg. we'd be happy to put out an announcement to our members about your demo here on Itch).
Again, thanks for that folks. The second I touched that generator I knew I was in for a blast. =D
Nice subtle detail of more and more bodies rocking up. I knew something horrible was about to happen and I was still so unprepared when it did! Keep up the good work!
Oh this was very good, so many questions, and so much wanting to play the full version! The scares, the atmosphere, the design, the sound, all of it was fantastic! Wonderful job!
I'm a sucker for PSX styled horror games and it's great to know that the immense creative talent necessary for building a game that could rival its honorary predecessors hasn't been lost. The inspired nuances are everywhere, from sound design to character creation; fixed camera angles and stilted movement are nothing but nostalgic and very well done. You've undeniably gifted me with something positive to look forward to in 2023...
* GLITCH: when standing directly next to a door while browsing the items menu the game will have Arthur proceed through the door (via sound cue) and a black screen will appear requiring a restart to continue playing as normal.
No problem! I've just created a Discord for Fixed Multicam devs. In case you're interested in talking to like-minded developers, let me know and I'll send you an invite...!
wowowowow! I had a BLAST playing this demo! I'm 100% buying the full game when it comes out! The story is already amazing and atmosphere is perfect! I will say sometimes the controls can be weird but I willingly looked over than for such a fun experience! If you wanna see my blind reaction here's a video! i would appreciate any support!
JUST STARTING THIS AMAZING GAME AND ITS WONDERFUL THIS IS JUST PART 1 THO CAN’T wait to explore the light out and I put my previous gameplay of The Keeper in the Description so you guys can also check that out and I did an reaction of the trailer and then we Continue on playing the actual Game so please give me a like you don’t have to subscribe but if u do I will really appreciate it but all I ask is can you guys like the video other than that I say thank you guys and thank you VIDE01 for making this incredible game and taking your time we all very much appreciate you very much
really enjoyed this game! very reminiscent of silent hill and old RE games, there is still so many questions to be answered at the end of this demo, i feel like the chains weren't holding the ghouls down there in the ocean, the end of the chain looked like a collar like a BIG collar, i think that it was holding a cathulu type monster and the ghouls were something to do with it, but im sure it will all be revealed in the full game which im really excited to play!, gameplay above if you enjoy be sure to hit that sub button guys!
Great demo! I was kinda fumbling around during the 1st half, trying to figure out what to do. But damn, it gets creepy as hell in the 2nd half. Can't wait to see more! Thanks for the fun!
Just played the first 20 minutes or so and I LOVE IT! It has this old-school RE1 vibe to it I adore so much ... GREAT game, looking VERY MUCH forward to the full version!
This is soooo rad! Perfectly captures that PSX nostalgia. I loved the third-person fixed-camera angles-- even the tank controls were a nice touch. The music was superb and worked well at enhancing the already grim, disquieting atmosphere. I'd say this demo is very well put together and that bodes well for the finished project. Definitely 5 stars. Keep it up!
P.S. The only thing I'd add to the game is maybe a heartbeat/health bar in the inventory screen. Also, some of the interactable objects didn't respond the first couple of times I tried to touch them, as if their "hitboxes" were too small.
Holy i freaken loved this game man i cant wait for your guys full game to come out, Such a good story to i love these type of horror style games keep up with the good work :)
WHOA! I totally fell in love with The Pale. Love the mood, the visuals, the sound design, the story... it's so classically GOOD. You folks are amazing. The project MUST go on!!!
cant wait for the full game to be released!!! i love everything about this game. but i did run into a glitch when i was getting chased by the dead people i ran inside the light house and came out i wasnt getting chased by the dead people which i had to load the game again. amazing game thought thank you for having a blast playing the demo.
Just by witnessing the Chain 'cutscene' I was stoked to see what else the game had in store for me as a buff in the horror genre, absolutely loved the direction and ambiance the game gives off. Excited to hop back in later.
Interesting game, got climat of the Silent Hill. But during game I encountered two bugs. First when I read Pete's note, pressing E button again in different spot, triggered note again. Second, when I picked up Toolbox I couldn't leave building, needed to restart.
Hello, I played this game and it was great! I loved everything about it, the only thing which bothered me was a bug where I got stuck at the door and had to restart but aside that I had a fun time playing through this, good work :)
Thanks Stella! What door was it, if you don't mind my asking? Better still if you have a screenshot that you can share on the bugs channel (https://discord.gg/HnrjKjQ9)
I think you should have an option for reporting bugs outside of discord. Simply a link to a google form would work. Find it strange how I have to join a discord server to report bugs but hey, that's just me.
There really aren't enough new survival horror games. Overall this was really interesting. Great story...creepy atmosphere.. even some humor thrown in. I liked it a lot!
Fun Demo, it’s looking really interesting with the story, especially that we already start off with the mystery of the giant chain (Swear it’s a shackle restraining something) and the hoard of bodies wash ashore. I am getting the same mystery vibes like Silent Hill with the possible reason why you are on the island.
Only had one bug, right at the end during the bridge collapse I was walking on air. I am God now. I claim dominion over the Skinless.
Looking forward to the full release, will be watching out for it.
The game is designed to be locked at 320x240p. Do you have 3rd party software likc borderlessgaming running that manually changes the resolution of game windows?
This was...amazingly fun. I went in expecting a pretty decent experience and got blown away, 9/10 and only that because I encountered a couple of bugs.
You've nailed an atmosphere and a feeling here, and I can't wait to see this come out in full. 100% going to be supporting you in your efforts here.
This was such a blast to watch :D You won a new subscriber!
Thanks for the review and feedback. Most bugs you hit on were actually caused the day of release on my last build. Should be fixed now for anyone new downloading.

the island of the pale favors a solidary existence fleeting from ones troubles only to encounter new mind disturbances
paths woven by twisting alcoves summon simple tasks for a determined venture
forward looking the expanding visions of a more deeply connected aphorism we flee for next summons

A very intriguing story and horror aspect. The chain part was comedy gold. A great game.

💀 THE PALE💀 -🔴Silent Hill PS1 Styled🔴 -🎮Indie Horror Game📺 (Español Argento)
Very good suspense

Really promising game.

Thanks for the feedback Snadli. I'll add them to the list.

You can check in the video it's at the 4:28 mins into the video, when I turned around and interacted with the door it didn't let me move after that.
Thanks!

This was such a creepy game. You did an amazing job at making it feel like an old school survival horror game. Great work!
Very very very good! Instead of saying how amazing it is (because it really is), let me give you constructive feedback:
Other than that I'm super excited on seeing it released! Well done :)

Any Youtube channel to follow you?
nice scary and vibes psx but think need fix.
Hey videoreview. Working on a fix for this now.
The game is designed to be locked at 320x240p. Do you have 3rd party software likc borderlessgaming running that manually changes the resolution of game windows?
Thanks.
dont know... think next version make option set video :D
Yeah, the next update contains a way to make what happened to you impossible. I'm gutted you had to play such a broken version.
no problem . i like to help dev their games better. take it easy
This lighthouse..reminds me some place in SILENT HILL 4.
This was...amazingly fun. I went in expecting a pretty decent experience and got blown away, 9/10 and only that because I encountered a couple of bugs.
