This game was very well made, the ending scared the crap out of me, did not see it coming at all. I can't wait to play the finished product, and am definitely looking forward to your future projects!
i have attempted to download this game however i came across a message saying it may put my pc at risk? i see other youtubers play this game but i just want to ask if its safe and trusted? if so, it looks like a very well developed game.
I don't know what it is you've done but this is one of the creepiest games I've ever played. Really unique, incredibly restrained. Perfect balance of mystery and psychological horror.
Super interesting idea. Are we ever going to get a full game out of this demo or is this only part of "something bigger"? On the website I see there's also another game, Pombero, currently in progress. Are they both part of the same project?
Starting out merely a bit puzzling and quickly turning very uncomfortable with very little, Sentient is definitely one of the strangest experiences I've had checking out indie horror games in a good while. At worst, I would say the adjusting the focus gets a littel cumbersome at times, and you have to stand fairly specifically to be able to read the commands asa result, but this is a minor nitpick. Very interesting experience for sure!
I have a theory about this teaser (SPOILER ALERT AHEAD)
The "Neighbor" (or the monkey) is actually your body, and we are playing as our mind/soul. As a game about a science unit studying the embodiment of "sentience", they have tested it on a monkey, taking said mind out of the body to study it. Scientist often test on monkeys, you know. The question on how we are able to move about an dpick up items is a question on its own, but Im not worrying too much about the realism.
This game was such a mental experience! Hope to see it fully fleshed out! Also if you don't wanna see the first game and came for the juicy gameplay of this game but jump right to 9:14!
I love the logic sequence about happiness and cookies about halfway through. The dynamic focus is great, but it's a bit too much when you're holding an item and trying to move around. The environment is super detailed, and I think you're doing good work. Keep it up!
This Game Was Unnerving lol im terrified to think what kinds of things you are going to do to me in the full game xD Here is my Playthrough of it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8cD3NqLOyGA
That was a great trippy experience! I’ve really enjoyed that teaser and I can’t wait for the full game to be released! Here’s my little playthrough (Polish language) Cheers!
The finished work will be a BIG DEAL, if this PT is any indication. Please do consider VR support, the prison-cell environment is made for it. If this were in VR it might be too much (which is exactly what you want!).
In my first playthrough, it was pretty surprising that my PC could run the game at optimum performance lol. This game is pretty unique, which is a good thing for a horror game (if you could class this as one?) I think I played an earlier version in my first playthrough...? Because the part where you had to circle the room 3 times got really confusing because I thought I broke the game, as that was a vague task to understand.
In my second playthrough, although, the game seems like it got updated because the wall counted how many times I circled the room. (When I watched other YouTubers, they didn't have the counting thing, so I thought I got the recent update). After all that, I was pretty nervous of breaking the process with each task because I didn't want to start all over again.
That being said, this was a fantastic experience and I am looking forward to the world you guys are creating!
Loved the psychological subservient tone to this game - and the simply dynamics of using a tennis ball to convey philosophical type questions was great.
Hope to see more of this type of mechanic in future games, or an expansion of Sentient where you (possibly) get out of the cell or meet your 'neighbour'...
The unsettling and foreboding atmosphere was really well done, although the ending felt a little anticlimactic. But I guess if the 'subject' was doing this every day, you would start to feel a little crazy...
Really cool moments but overall I felt they were too far apart. Maybe I am just too impatient but it just felt a tad bit slow for me. Other than that it was a really cool concept!

Well, this was something different. Nice to see such fresh ideas :)
I have never been more terrified in a game than I have with Sentient. I seriously CAN NOT WAIT for the full game to be completed.
this game messed up my mind but it was awesome. i hope to whoever watches this video would support my channel <3

this was amazing, so simple yet freaky in a world that i have zero insight to.
the graphics really helped add to the games overall vibe
