Feedback:
Graphics- no idea why the graphics are half-3D. There is no apparent need for 3D models in this game. Moreover, since the models are terrible and the animations worse, the contrast with the nice 2D graphics is striking and hurting the game badly. Should have been a strictly 2D game, like all classic point and click adventure games. The development team does not seem to have the resources needed to work in 3D.
Voice acting is mediocre at best. Jackie's is way too high-pitched and hurt my ears. The "Hollywood talents" don't seem to contribute anything to the experience, I wonder who made the decision to spend money on this and not on more important aspects of the game.
Story is OK, though neither really funny nor really interesting. Lines get repeated often ("There's a Vampire in my house"). Many times, the choices in the chat menu don't really matter, it's actually all the same.
No real puzzles, most are quite obvious and the puzzles that are there not always make much sense. Bugs creep around unchecked.
Game is waaaaaay too short, both in time and geography. Even if it was any good, the going rates for 1 hour of indie gaming is about 2-3$, no more. But 13$ (the rate in shekels)? I can get the full Hal-Life pack from steam for that....
Game is in English- why? What is supposed to be the audience, american teenagers who have never heard of Pizza Morgana or its creator, Uri Fink? Fink is well known in Israel, this game should have been in Hebrew.
Not sure what the business model is here, who is supposed to buy the game?
In All, I can't say I see a lot of work done here. Apart from the voice acting, the whole game seems like something that could have been created by a single, inexperienced individual, in about a month or so.
