| Summary | 0028736: Provide some early context about time flow / consequences in order to avoid overload/panic | ||||
| Description | After the first choice is made, and player leaves the lab, it is very easy to panic - there is a whole city out there, vehicles are driving all around, and it's unclear what are your relationships with time there - is game turn-based? is it realtime? do I need to hurry? will something happen if I take it too long to read everything on screen? Am I missing out? First instinct of a player in such context is to press SPACE to pause the game and look around - but in this case it does the exact opposite of setting things on pause - it advances the game. Then you look for a PAUSE button on screen - there doesn't seem to be any. It would be great to calm player down early and explain that he can take his time (if he can), and that time only flows if X (or will start flowing only later on). Screen to illustrate the early point I'm talking about: | ||||

Thanks! * When you first start the game, after the chapter message goes by it now pops up a brief explanation that this is a turn-based game and a mix of genres, and invites the player to do a brief ui tour to orient themselves. ** It also explains quickly that the things moving in the background are just scenery. |
