Cor Mechanica

I finally had a chance to play Cor Mechanica! (which means avoid watching David Wehle’s Feedback Friday video so as not to be spoiled).

It took me two sessions to beat the game, and during the first one I forgot that I could press R to find the objectives cause I’m stupid lol. But it gave me the opportunity to waste myself in this beautiful environment. There is a huge work on the atmosphere, I especially loved how lighting, models and ambiance matches with this great soundtrack.

Knowing this is Jade first game this is really promising for its future in gamedev. I can’t wait to see his next project. In less than a minute he succeeds in immersing ourselves in his universe, with a simple but effective plot and many small details that support the storytelling.

Well done!

For it being your first game, I am very surprised on the scale of environment that was developed. Usually the environment is about as big as a 1 - 2 bedroom apartment, so kudos on that. The cinematics and soundscape were pretty good, but the opening sequence was a bit laggy. My suggestion for the development of your next game is: try to focus on bringing more details (info & visuals) to the game, like individual backstory, npc, more dialogue. I say visual details because the environments felt hollowish, like more should be seen in certain areas. The little details are very important for immersion!

Great work!

Thank you for patching in inverted controls and sensitivity adjustment.

5/5 The single thing I love the most is during those first few minutes you told me everything I needed to know about the world, my objective, what to expect, and sold me on that experience with the visual story telling and music. Great story telling and overall just awesome for your first game.

I love the guards especially the effects and how you handled them as you progressed.

The Map quest item I missed for a bit as the car took my focus trying to see if I could drive it and I skipped it til the end (for anyone missing that item, it's attached to a fallen building with a glow light effect by the car)

Minor Bug:
I was playing through with X normal and Y Inverted. When the last scene loaded, the X & Y settings got "swapped" (as in menu still showed x was normal and y inverted but in game it was opposite). Once I realized that was the issue I just swapped in menu and continued on playing. Also if you ever get caught and game resets, inversion controls don't get saved but again minor quality of life.

Only been able to play about 15 minutes, but that was enough for a start! The atmosphere is eerie and well-done, and provides some legit jump-scares. Can't wait to dig in more and finish!

So immersive! The music and open art style really bring the game to life. I wish there were more player interactions though. For example, when you're escaping on the train you can't really do anything but sit and watch the terra co fail to catch up to you. I feel that something like having to parkour through the train while train cars behind you are being blown to pieces would be a bit more engaging.  Awesome game though!

hi, big thx for the game. greetings from rosti 😁

Hello, I played this game and it was pretty fun to play, the visuals, music and the environment were all great, I enjoyed it, just one thing I'd like to mention is that the mouse sensitivity was a bit too high but over all it was a neat game, good work :)

Hey man, i have a really old computer and i'm waiting for it to update before i download this, what are the system requirements? If you know..

Greetings! Is there any way to invert the mouse Y-axis and adjust the sensitivity? Really looking forward to playing but it's a bit uncontrollable for me unfortunately!

Pretty nice game. I enjoyed playing it. Thanks!

Very chill adventure, I liked it!
