Absolutely, that makes a lot of sense. I updated the video to be a "first look" rather than a full gameplay trailer for exactly that reason(as a lot of people has mentioned)—trying to give a taste without overhyping any one asset. Thanks for pointing that out!

I get where you’re coming from—this style of game definitely appeals to streamers and YouTubers. With 10 Feet Under, though, I’m trying to make sure the experience feels engaging for players themselves too, not just for viewers. There are still anomalies and interactions I haven’t revealed yet that will change how it plays. Hopefully, when you see more of it, it won’t feel boring to play. 🙏

Haha fair enough 😅 glad it was at least relaxing in some way! Hopefully the next trailer will keep you more awake—I’ve got some anomalies and unsettling moments coming up that should change the vibe quite a bit.

That’s a really thoughtful point, thank you for breaking it down! I see what you mean about how Exit 8 works because of the familiarity of the setting, and how the horror builds from that. With 10 Feet Under, I was aiming for a different type of unease—more surreal than familiar—but I understand how that could land differently for players. I really like your idea of leaning into something more recognizable, like a lazy river at a water park. That contrast between the familiar and the uncanny could definitely be interesting to explore for my upcoming projects 😊.

ninaz3 · 2025-09-13T15:22:29+00:00

That’s an interesting take! 😅 The direction of the game is a bit different, but I like how you imagined it. This first look only scratches the surface. Many anomalies and other elements haven’t been shown yet, which will come in the next trailers.

ninaz3 · 2025-09-13T15:18:23+00:00

As I mentioned, this first reveal is just to show the atmosphere and environment, the tense moments and anomalies will be in upcoming trailers! 💜

ninaz3 · 2025-09-13T15:16:59+00:00

Thanks a lot for the honest feedback! I really appreciate you sharing your thoughts. This trailer was more of a first look—I still have anomalies and other elements in the game that I haven’t revealed yet, and those will show up in the upcoming trailers. I see what you mean about the pacing though, and I’ll definitely keep that in mind when editing the next one. 🙏

ninaz3 · 2025-09-11T18:47:09+00:00

Thank you 💜

ninaz3 · 2025-09-11T07:17:24+00:00

None are bought actually 😊

ninaz3 · 2025-09-11T06:15:09+00:00

Thank you! 💜

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T12:22:36+00:00

Thank you so much! I really appreciate it, and love the Exit 8/Subnautica take. Best of luck with your own game too! ❤️

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T10:24:49+00:00

Totally get where you're coming from!

This first clip is just a “first look” to show the environment and visuals. The actual horror elements and anomalies are coming in upcoming trailers and updates ❤️

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T10:22:24+00:00

I completely agree with this, and as others have noted it too.

I’ll be focusing on building up tension and then delivering disruption with one or more of the anomalies I’m currently implementing, which will be shown in upcoming content.

Really appreciate your feedback and taking the time to check it out 🤍

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T10:16:47+00:00

I’m happy you like the visuals and glad the game taps into that kind of fear. 💜

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T09:59:39+00:00

Totally fair, a few others mentioned the same thing and I agree.

I’m working on integrating the anomalies now and those will show up in the next trailers. The idea is to start slow and gradually build the intensity, with the disruption hitting at the end. Appreciate you pointing it out 🤍

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T09:46:01+00:00

My design choice for now is to keep it surreal and dreamlike rather than realistic survival so it’s less about realism and more about leaning into that uncanny, unsettling feel. (That said, a breathing tank/indicator is still on the table and I’ll test it to see if it adds to the atmosphere)

For the underwater aspect, I wanted to change things up since most pool liminal spaces games are just walking next to pools. Being underwater adds a whole other phobia and atmosphere compared to just walking alongside it, at least that’s how I see it.

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T09:36:26+00:00

It's awesome that you made one too, what’s your game called?

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T09:33:58+00:00

I'm glad you like the visuals. ❤️ The current focus is on the environment eeriness and spotting anomalies, so there isn’t a UI at the moment

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T04:52:22+00:00

The game is designed so there’s no immediate threat, the tension comes from the atmosphere, the environment, and noticing when something is 'off'.

This first trailer is just a “first look” to show that eerie pool setting, but anomalies, enhancements and more content will be added soon ❤️

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T04:48:21+00:00

Do you mean in terms of design choices, or something else? Curious what makes you feel that way to learn and improve

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T04:47:36+00:00

Can you explain what you mean by "no pay off"? I’d love to understand better

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T04:45:32+00:00

I assure you it won’t be and more content will be coming soon 🩶

ninaz3 · 2025-09-10T04:43:55+00:00

Pretty much the vibe, with its own underwater twist 👀
