Half of the fourth act almost completed

After a decade of deep demotivation I've managed a big step to the dark future of The Gray Man. Well what's new and what features are there? It's a tricky one, but here I stand with repentance to all of you (still I'm mostly talking to 1 viewer of the game - myself).

As the game is composed of fourth acts (each chapter offers a new visual style, mechanics and narrative points) all with the idea that the spectator becomes a player and can decide the direction of the game. Imagine being captive by inner voice and do exactly as the voice says, and later on you as a conscience is trying to break out of his captivity. So yeah, the experience from the beginning will be a little more like walking autoplay simulator, but don't worry about that. 

The main point of devlog is what's new. Since some narrative spoilers alert, I'm not gonna tell you what is going on. However, Anthony already understood that he was under the guidance of an inner voice. It gives the player more room to make decisions in the game, where what choice to make depends on the situation the player is in. Let's imagine that Anthony, after recharging his consciousness, doesn't have the strength to keep hurting others, so he tries to take his own life. I address the situation with different game mechanics to make it unreplicable in such a limited genre as point & click offers, all in first person view. 

But one thing is sure, playing time is already over 3 hours, which scares even me. The release day is still a big unknown, but I can imagine by the middle of 2022. While I'm finishing the final act, there are some stuff such as state examinations and bachelor thesis. In all the demotivation, however, I realized that it was time to finally finish the game and start marketing it. You can follow some game screenshots and other stuff on my Instagram profile over here Darko_purno! Keep your fingers crossed, and most importantly, thanks for your time! Have a nice day and of course, Happy New Year!
