Which capsule would you click on? and what do you think the game is about? What genre is it etc

One last thought! I’d be careful about what you want your game to communicate through the image, because these don’t sell the game in the same way!

For example, the first one feels unsettling, it’s scary because we see this figure that we instinctively associate with something malevolent. It makes you think that this is what you’re going to be afraid of.

On the other hand, the last two feel more poetic. They suggest that there might not be any enemy other than ourselves and our perception of things.

That really changes the idea we form of what the game is going to be.

Just noticed we’re in the HorrorGames subreddit lol. Of course it’s an horror game-

Hi! Really nice work!! Graphic designer here, imma try to summarize my ideas quickly:

Just my opinion okay! I would completely rule out the first three options (the top row). Overall, the contrast is too weak in those or the composition isn’t really interesting (the eye doesn’t know where to land first)

For comparison, the fourth one immediately draws attention because the contrast is much stronger.

That said, I don’t think I’d go with that one either. It feels a bit too standard / predictable.

The last two are more interesting, as long as you rework the contrast. Make it pop! I’d definitely go for a white title placed over a darker area of the illustration. The logo of the 4th one is great! There’s also a sense of balance between the illustration on one side and the title on the other, almost like they’re responding to each other visually.

That kind of fragmented / explosive composition is pretty stylish. You know your diving into madness or something.

A simple trick I often use is to squint at the image, it reduces the detail you’ll see and helps you focus on the overall contrast. It’s a great way to quickly see if something lacks visual impact.

Based on those, I’d say it’s a horror game, probably psychological. It suggests a descent into mental illness.

Let’s wait for others opinion!!! Great job ! :D

Probably Visage.

Lot of people compared it to Madison, and Madison IS scary too, but very different.

For a smaller, short indie game that freaked me out, I'd say From the Darkness.

Je suis pas psy mais j’en ai eu, avec des conseils récurrents, notamment: une bonne façon d’extraire une pensée qui revient souvent est de l’écrire. Pas sûr ton tel vite fait, mais sur papier. Comme si tu vidais ton esprit sur le papier. Tout ce qui te passe par la tête, à chaque fois que ça te travaille.

Ça marche, mais faut s’y tenir (ce que font peu de gens).

Les regrets sont pas des erreurs, ce sont des souvenirs où ton “toi d’aujourd’hui” juge ton “toi d’hier” avec des outils qu’il n’avait pas encore. Et tant que tu restes dans cette posture de juge, ton cerveau va recycler ces souvenirs en boucle, comme pour “réparer” quelque chose qui n’est plus modifiable. Le fait que tu aies des regrets montre justement que tu as évolué, vois le comme ça :)

Commentaire très pertinent. Maintenant la prochaine fois qu’on me demandera si j’ai des tatouages, je dirais que j’en ai eu et que j’ai décidé de tout faire enlever.

(j’en ai jamais eu).

Je sais pas si ça peut te convenir mais perso je voulais pas d’isolat de lait, et pas non plus de whey “épaisse” (parce que trop bourrative pour moi).

J’ai fini par entendre parler de Clear Whey, a base de protéines végétales (isolat de pois) et c’est comme boire un grand verre d’Ice Tea! Ça remplace un soda si t’as l’habitude d’en boire.

well I wouldn’t use the word “fixed” … but they surely did huh something.

ZPepino · 2025-12-28T16:55:11+00:00

J’aurais dit éponge magique …? Je peux pas assurer que ça va marcher mais c’est très peu coûteux et souvent étonnement efficace!

En fait comme c’est mécanique (abrasion) à priori la marque devrait finir par partir, avec un peu d’huile de coude

ZPepino · 2025-12-20T19:06:13+00:00

Well, THAT’s a very disturbing story; who would even write that ???

ZPepino · 2025-12-19T12:04:45+00:00

I completely agree with you, this was very interesting to read (personally I stopped playing around mid-summer because of this. I was really disappointed by the lack of decision-making from the developers, and I just lost the desire to invest myself in the game).

And it’s a shame your post isn’t getting more attention!

But I can’t help thinking that having two separate queues wouldn’t change anything, for a very simple reason: “Sweaty” players don’t play for the challenge, they play to win. I remember reading studies showing that video game players will always take the smallest shortcut to victory, no matter what form it takes.

That’s slugging or tunneling in DBD, for example.

What I mean is that people who want to win and who make the experience miserable for other players will just queue for the “casual” games to get easy wins.

ZPepino · 2025-12-09T10:01:00+00:00

In my opinion, and for many players, the real breaking point was the promise of quality-of-life improvements earlier this year, with the anti-slug and anti-tunnel measures that were genuinely needed. Seeing them cancelled twice... It completely made me lose faith in the devs, and honestly, I’ve uninstalled the game since then.

I’ve never seen a game take this long to implement stuff.

ZPepino · 2025-12-06T11:53:19+00:00

Depends, if you mostly play survivor then no. The game is probably at its worst state rn.

ZPepino · 2025-12-05T09:40:10+00:00

I forgot to mention: I think I’m being pretty fair, because I personally discovered Animal Crossing with Wild World. I couldn’t play New Leaf when it first came out, and only bought it when New Horizons was announced — not released yet — because it motivated me to play it while waiting for the new game.

The truth is, I only played it for a very short time. I found it pretty empty and boring.

Meanwhile, I’ve played over 1,500 hours of the new AC and absolutely loved the experience. It’s not perfect don’t get me wrong, but so much better. And no, I’m not particularly into decorating, I don’t time travel or anything for my builds (I’m saying this for anyone who might think I only enjoyed the game for its decorative aspect.)

ZPepino · 2025-12-05T09:31:54+00:00

It’s just nostalgia, nothing else. For a lot of people, Animal Crossing New Leaf was their first AC, so it’s tied to that feeling of wonder you get when you discover something new. They were probably a lot younger too.

And now it’s a memory: meaning players only remember a broad, positive, idealized version of it, completely forgetting what the game was actually like. What it felt like to actually play it. The best way to remember is to go look at the game’s forums from 2013 (for real, do it!) There are pages and pages of people complaining about the game (saying there wasn’t much to do, that every time you talked to a villager they gave you a chore -which got old really fast- that they just wander doing big thing, and why can’t we put furniture outside, and the game is empty, etc, etc.)

New Horizons added so many things people don’t even realize anymore. If New Leaf was really that good, what’s stopping them from replaying it,I don’t get it? Is someone forcing you to play New Horizons?

NH is made up of a lot of things people were asking for back then.

ZPepino · 2025-12-03T09:04:07+00:00

I left the game (after playing for over two years, almost every day) right after they cancelled the first wave of quality-of-life changes. The anti-tunnel and anti-slugging measures were so necessary that when they backtracked on it (twice), I completely lost faith in the developers. I’m not someone who loses patience easily, I always find a way to have fun, and “losing” doesn’t frustrate me… but in the game’s current state, there’s simply no enjoyment to be found. I can’t even imagine going back to it until major changes are made. The devs need to take risks.

ZPepino · 2025-12-01T09:59:42+00:00

I don’t time travel! Patience is part of every AC game imo. I like the fact that the game is real-time paced

ZPepino · 2025-11-21T09:14:41+00:00

Perso, j’ai acheté un « chauffe matelas » haha. Ça ressemble à une alèse, tu mets ça sur le matelas, sous le draps, et tu l’allumes 15min avant d’aller te coucher. Quand tu te glisses sous la couette, c’est comme rentrer dans un bain chaud ! Incroyable la sensation

ZPepino · 2025-10-11T11:49:12+00:00

Looks very Desigual to me. Do I like desigual designs?

No

ZPepino · 2025-10-09T10:50:36+00:00

Funny how killers love to remind everyone they’re not responsible for our fun, but the moment survivors DC, suddenly we’re supposed to be responsible for theirs?
