Comments - Schadenfreude

In Ties That Bind, whenever I modify the FOV to a higher value than its claustrophobic default, the right side of the UI (ammunition, throwing items and flashlight) will end up off-centered. I assume that part of the UI is located at a certain amount of pixels from the left side part that's relative to the resolution.

Is there any way to modify the position of the UI so that it fits an FOV value above 1.0?

There's a readme with that info (and some other useful stuff) in the game's folder, though some controls don't match what's explained in there:

Esc - Exit
Q - Peek Left
E - Peek Right
W,A,S,D - Movement
C - Crouch
Shift - Sprint
O - See what player is thinking (this didn't work for me)
F - Flashlight
T - Slow down time (this doesn't seem to work for me either, and also this key is used to zoom out)
R (Zoom in) & T (Zoom Out) - Zoom
Enter / right click - Use/Open Doors/Check
Mouse - Look

Also you can crank the brightness up and down with "," and "."

Hmmm.... upon testing a bit, I notice that some of the controls don't match those described in the readme: "E" is indeed used to peek right (which is great) and "O" doesn't seem to be doing anything, whereas "R" and "T" are used to zoom in/out, so I wouldn't know which one would be "slow down time".

Other than that, I just started playing, but this looks *very* promising. There are a bunch of awesome ideas at work in here, and the atmosphere is creepy as hell. This kind of game gives me hope in the sadly horror-starved gaming scene of today.

Any way to customize the controls? "O" is like a million miles away from the nearest hand, really, and "E" would be much better to peek right.

Link?

I don't get a Desura link. Is that right or am I missing something?

This is beautiful and exciting and awesome and dear dog please do keep up with this!

If you accept a small criticism, you might want to dial the reflections a bit down. Other than that, I'm seven hundred kinds of pumped about the project :D

I've been sitting here on the edge of my seat for a while now; it's good to know things are happening with this little masterpiece.

Hey, while you're at awesoming up the game, pretty please do include some kind of "save" feature, yes?
