LOANSHOCK

Why do you have to click that very specific box to advance dialogue? It moves around the screen as the characters talk and having to constantly mouse back and forth can hurt your wrist. Please make it so you can just click the general screen or at least have a hotkey

Game is an giant scam right now, you only have 2 scenes right now and the game has a lot of bugs.

The game also doesn't tell you how you actually play the game and it doesn't need to explain anything since the game ends at day one.

Also the choices you made don't matter since the outcome is prettymuch the same, except for a few cutscenes which show what happend to the people that didnt get an loan.

Another thing the game lacks is the ability to make mulitble saves per game and the ability to make quicksaves. i want the ability to rollback if i screw up.

I really want to love this game, i like the idea but right now it is not even worth 3€

why are they releasing so many unpolished buggy games, the idea is nice and all and why i do think thart the price for the full version is way to high you can just play the free version, but thw game has little content and a lot of gamebreaking bugs

i recommend to anyone to first try the free Version and decide if it's too buggy and worth buying or not, the save files also often get corruped or skip encounters for some reason and the game similar to many others from this publisher hasn't been updated since a while so it may be dead

Is anyone else having a bug on the first night with the old man were text wont show

this is a strange one, it looks amazing, the story seems good so far but the gameplay is insanely hard. 

Its not hard because its simple choices, its hard because, you are not told what to do or what to expect, the money value is off, for example, how one that get 6k a month able to get 12k in three weeks? your not sure who is a good choice and who is a bad choice, the game doesn't do anything and doesn't allow you to do anything to help decide. Its a great concept with an interesting story, just have to fix how the gameplay works then it might actually be a really good game.

Even the demo is 'a tip of an iceberg' compare to what the first day holds... With that said, its really hard to recommend getting this, at least until the gameplay is more easier to understand or if the story is something the developers is wanting to focus on, maybe make it more simple.

Edit: got the 'Full' version and its only the first day with a lot more clients then the demo had. Got it because wanted to see what the results were for the three in the demo...

I had a massive disconnect with the way the game worked during the first loan. When the lady who came in said they make 6k a month and have 5k expenses, and wanted a $12,000 loan, I figured you're talking 1000 a month for 12 months at most

The thing is you ask for collateral after you decide on the amount of the loan, which is backwards. I decided to give her 10,000 instead of 12,000 and give her a little breathing room on the monthly payments. But then she only had a necklace for collateral. A 10,000 loan requires more than a necklace for collateral but that's all she had.

But what's worse, after deciding on the amount, and then deciding the collateral, you finally decide the interest rate and then lastly the term of the loan.

3 weeks was the longest I could offer her!

There's no way she's going to pay back $10,000 in three weeks! I just paid $10,000 for a necklace!

The only way you're going to play this game is with save scumming and frustration. You're going to have to make the bad deal first, figure out what the collateral and term is, and then reload to make the correct offer.

Nope.

Review of this, because it kinda obsess me a bit and I wish the best future for that game. In short: I only recommend to buy the "full" game if you LOVE the demo and want EXACTLY more of the same (including the "to be continued").
I have zero clue what the "deluxe" version give.

Pre playing review: I do LOVE the art, the concept does sounds interesting, and a certain screenshot certainly drove me in.

I love(d) this.

Demo review and feedback
- The intro is nice and enticing, and make me curious of the game story.
- the UI is OK and servicable too, the use of a calculator is a nice touch. What does the book, calendar and mirror does tho.
- The loaning process is not great. How am I supposed to know how much I lend before knowing how long they have to give back?
Why can't you ask for the collateral and ask more detail on each of these before deciding the lend value?
Plus I have zero clue on how much value have everything in the game? (that may be a lack of cultural information that the bookshelve could provide)
In short, it just feel like a game of guessing, without enough information. That may be intended, but it doesn't feel fun to play in it current state.
- Trying to see if you can roll back ; I realized the "menu" button does quit the current game and send you straight to the menu. No fine choice save, no ability to adjust the sound or UI, and most importantly ; you have to restart your current "client" from scratch

And after seeing a mysterious two silhouette, and a To Be Continued without any other form of feedback, that was the end of the first run.

Poking more at the demo, I can add the following:
- if you succeed a client, it'll show a check-mark at the end.
- depending on the choice you made, client made have "bad end". This is great, but give me the feeling than doing more run will be needed
- with two clients, re-playability is already a chore. There is no fine way to save, no way to auto skip the talk until choices ; and you only know if you "checked" a client after ending the week/going through the full demo.
It just make the game feel like guessing on what you have to pick without providing enough clue, nor enough reward for trying.
- I did give up to "ticking" the first client, not finding what may make her happy with her loaning.

Post demo: I'm thorn between liking the mood of the game, and thinking the current game loop just ruin any enjoyment I can have in it.

Fast forward some days, and with the lack of hope of having more people posting feedback here, I decided to buy the game. Opinion on it:
- The game end on a "To Be Continued" after the first week. That is NOT what i expected when buying  a "full" game. Either I am blind, or it is not stated the game is still in development on the game page.
- First week is 8 clients, in a row. Having two client before knowing if you managed to get them right or not already felt like a chore, but 8?! That's feel like too much.
- I overall enjoy the cast of character, and feel like there is an interesting underlying story.
Sadly the gameplay does not make me want to dig deeper for it.
- At least your aunt come to see you at the end of the week to provide some more story elements/clues.
- The game bugs at some place, including one that grayed out a lot of ending's section.
- even more than the demo, it feel like an early version and not a full game release (may be bad communication on the page)
- No lewd in sight, I may simply not have picked the right choices (likely), or they are in the deluxe version. I do not know yet, and am not sure I have the will to try to bruteforce a game with 8 clients.
- No gallery in the "full" version, either it's an unlock, or for the deluxe version.

Post game; The game page does not seem to advertise it correctly, so I feel like I just bought something else than what was promised, which does not feel good.
I just hope the game will be updated until that impression is replaced by the love the art and character deserve.

I hope this feedback will be useful, especially for the devs ; and to whoever stuck here to the end, thanks you for reading.

AYoo? I can see the Filipino Myth Reference. *Filipino Pride Stand Up* Well done!

yooo pinoy ba toh

Woah... manananggal? Is this set in the PH?

I feel so lost. I like the game, I just have no idea what I am doing wrong.

Sounds interesting, can't wait to play.
