Well this is interesting. I found the original Turtle Head last week and when I finished, I thought to myself "Well that sucked." Imagine my surprise when I see this game trending. I gave it a try just to see how much of a change from the original there was and to be honest, my expectations were low.
I was blown away.
This game is a massive improvement over the original. The sprites look fantastic, the chase sequences were improved (the original game's chases were way too unforgiving), the characters were heavily fleshed out more, especially Emma and Marina, new fun puzzles, and the addition of more endings was a great touch.
I was expecting Emma's scenario to just to be about the same as Harriet's with just some changes in dialogue, but it was it's own game with much different puzzles and a much different story. Seeing her breakdown slowly was a neat difference from Harriet and I wish there was this much depth to Harriet in her scenario as I can only speculate so much about her issues with what I'm given. It was great to see the other characters from the perspective of both Harriet and Emma to help make the world feel alive, although I wish I could see what Simon and Mason were like back then too.
Overall I'd say everyone who worked on this did a great job in turning what I saw as a generic horror into something that stands out. Even if I don't find it scary (hard to do with rpgmaker), the characters and puzzles easily make up for that. Hope to see more from this team.
I'm in the middle of playing Em's mode but I LOVE this game! It's hard to find good, new RPG horrors that are longer than an hour or so but here we go this is just awesome and 9 endings only make it better <3 Also I found a little bug when you play Em's version you can kinda climb on wall on the right from cafeteria doors
I finished the game and all 9 endings. I loved to see this game remade with more gameplay. When I watched gameplay of the original a few years ago I thought that was it for this amazing game. Until Like 6 months ago I thought hey why don't I play this for myself and I did and I found this remake of the game and I thought this was the coolest thing. It really brought this game back. I thought the game would be cooler if the map was bigger and turtle head would roam around the school but then noticed there's only a certain amount people can do. The game was good and I was sad when I got all the endings because This might be the last time I hear of this game other then other people playing it on YouTube. This game was good and I decided to play it at least once every year to remember how good it was and the people that made it. This was a very good game I know I said that like five times but it's true. I will always remember this game as one of those games I feel great that I completed. My friend is a major simp for Mason and also says Mason is hot. This game is great and I hope I get to see future projects.
It seems like... there are 9 endings to this game. Is there a guide to find them all? LOL I found 3 and the truth ending. Will go back to look for them all!
I've been playing this for the past two days and finding it really enjoyable! The care and attention to detail that has been put into the environments, animations, sound design, everything really, is very impressive. It's been rewarding to explore and poke around in every corner to try to find everything. Also, I appreciate the numerous save slots, it helps with unlocking all the endings. :D
I have played the original turtle head and I have to say this is great. At first I didn't like how the characters looked when walking around but as I was playing I started to like it a lot. When I saw Turtle head I was surprised how good it looked. I also think the the plushies to save are a good idea to remind the player to save. The school remodel looks great as I said earlier the characters look like they fit in with the map. In general the demo is great and I would love to see the whole game.
Hmm, I haven't played the original yet so I can't say to much in comparison. But I'll play it later because you'all seems to very recommending it (threatening actually).
The game is good, I definitely get the Ao Oni feeling here. The story driven plot are also clear, it is quite easy for me to figure what to do next which is nice. The art too, they're adorable to look. The sound are also nice, I especially love the sound the Turtle Head made when we're hiding in the wardrobe/closet. But the problem lies in the BGM, as you can heard in my video it's quite 'empty' because the lack of the BGM. Other than that everything's good.
thank you so much for the comment! We’ll keep in mind the problem with the BGM and try to polish it up before the final release. Also we really appreciate the video you made, we all actually got super excited to see someone made something for our little game :)
