I tried playing this for the holiday, but in its current state is just unplayable. From one dev to another I can try and help here. As far as the programming goes I can't really help there cause I cant see the code. But the optimization is horrendous. I suggest going through all your textures files and reducing their maximum in-game size to 1024 x 1024 even 512x512 for small meshes. While 4k looks awesome unless someone has an amazing computer that can handle that many 4k textures being rendered at once it's gonna run like garbage. You really shouldn't be using 4k textures on assets unless its like a character or an Item that will be viewed very close to the player like a weapon or gun. Next, I would check the cull distance on your particle effects and make sure that aren't rendering when the player cant see them. That just wastes processing power. You could do that with meshes as well. I see this was made in Unreal so it should do this for you by default but sometimes when you use pre-bought assets some settings might be different. Last I would look through all your post-processing volumes in your level and on your cameras and disable all motion blur it's really jarring and is not doing you any favors here. I hope you take this as constructive criticism and not as an insult.
Also try and reduce the number of dynamic lights you have in your levels and use static baked shadows where ever possible. If you have a bunch of lights casting dynamic shadows that is really REALLY bad.
What a sequel! This game was amazing and terrifying! Thank you so much for letting me voice a character! Excited for the future of games these guys make.
Not only is this game one of the best Halloween games I've ever played, but one of THE BEST on the website! I did run into a couple of bugs, however I don't judge a game on the bugs unless it makes it unplayable. Truly a gem of a horror game! GREAT JOB!
Hola chicos! Hice un video donde mencioné su juego, lastimosamente no me enteré a tiempo de la segunda entrega. Pero me pasó por acá para dejarles un pequeño comentario tras jugar el juego. Quedó increíble! Doblado al español y todo! Mucha suerte en sus futuros proyectos!
Fantastic! Didn't expect this game to be so different from the first! Really enjoyed the references to the older Halloween Film and even seeing other content creators name! Here is my full play throughout, so glad i got to film n post this up n hope you enjoy too!
I haven't played it yet, but I hope to be able to bring it live as soon as the previously mentioned Bugs are resolved. But I loved the theme of the game, super appropriate for Halloween. Congratulations to the developers!
I love this! Feels like a perfect Halloween experience. I saw a few months ago that you were planning to release a game every year but i didn't know what to expect for this second instalment. I can honestly say it blew my expectations out of the park! I also recorded my experience and while I really loved the game and mechanics, the video will show some bugs. The weirdest one, was that the main elevator de spawned and I fell through the map and died!
Hello! As I said on youtube, yes, we just released it, so with every gameplay we're polishing it. In fact the version you played (1.0.1) is a slightly improveed version, one day later, of the original one :) And tomorrow those little bugs are going to be fixed with 1.0.2, and so on. Thank you for playing both games in a row!
so i really want to say that i really enjoyed this game and without all the bugs i really would of because the story is there and the concept is there but i think it definitely needs some updating before so, the ai of Michael wasn't great, there was a glitch on the stairs that kept getting me stuck, Michael could kill me through walls, and through the gate on the lift, there was this weird focus problem in the game, the performance of the game wasn't great framerate was very lagging, i entered the room where you had to speak to the receptionist and couldn't interact with her you had to walk up to the window outside which made no sense considering we had the access key and also i couldn't finish the final act of the game because after getting the baseball bat and hearing the receptionist scream i went back up and Michael completely disappeared, i know it was version 1 of this game so i understand i think when all these bugs are fixed it will be a fantastic game as it really expanded on the first one and besides the bugs was a really great game, i hope to come back in a couple weeks and check out the improvements, but yea i was pretty gutted, gameplay above though and i hope it helps!
Hi! Yeah, I already fixed it and updated the game (v. 1.0.1 is available), sorry. At first the player wasn't going to enter the reception, so the trigger to talk to her was outside, through the window. I'm gonna watch your gameplay now! Thank you for posting
Awesome! I'll go through it again tomorrow. I'm so stoked for this game. You're doing amazing, and I look forward to this game and future games you create.
i thought it was pretty good but seemed kind of janky, the fps was fluctuating at certain parts, but as usually i tend to somehow break games in my playthroughs.. anyway happy halloween, 5/5 here's some footage

Here is my video. I know it is not the best walkthrough, but it is like the creator said, it will have bugs and glitches.
Here is my second video!!!Hola chicos! Hice un video donde mencioné su juego, lastimosamente no me enteré a tiempo de la segunda entrega. Pero me pasó por acá para dejarles un pequeño comentario tras jugar el juego. Quedó increíble! Doblado al español y todo! Mucha suerte en sus futuros proyectos!
