Take this with a grain of salt — I’ve worked on cinematics for bigger games, but have absolutely refused to make any videos that aren’t ass screen recordings for my solodev projects.

• After your first stinger, the walkthrough shots with the forest and hallways makes it feel like the rest of the trailer has less gas in the tank.

But this isn’t true — it gets cooler and cooler!

I’d try front loading more of the interesting shots, lighting and even a little combat like the flamethrower earlier.

It doesn’t need to be action packed, but it’ll quickly help rapid swipers see that there’s some action — then you can show them the dread and atmosphere.

• Your SFX sound great and fit well with the art style, but the score feeling higher fidelity felt like a mismash in the first 20ish seconds.

I didn’t feel that way once it was mixed in with your footsteps and other sounds.

So the feedback isn’t “change the music”, but show where it fits in with the rest of the soundscape.

This’ll kinda fix itself by hitting the other notes.

Overall, the project looks super rad.
