This was neat, mostly. Cool atmosphere, reminded me of the intro cutscene for Ghost Bear's Revenge a little bit to start with. Love the terrain. Using the snow to cover up the low-poly graphics was great, better art direction than some triple-As I can name.

Some bugs and feedback, though. First, that walk speed was torturously slow - on purpose, but even then, there's a limit. The mech turned godawful sluggishly - again, on purpose, again, there's a limit. My mousemat isn't exactly massive, I couldn't turn the damn thing around more than a quarter before picking up the mouse and going again. That was annoying.

The power boxes outside the relays really needed some kind of reason to interact with them, I just thought they were map objects and walked past the first one. Went through the whole available area twice in the mech, abandoned mine to closed-off side canyon, then went around the whole chain-link fence before I tried to touch the featureless metal box. I thought 'this gate is locked' meant I had to go find a key, like in the mine, maybe.

Speaking of the relays and interaction, the simon says puzzle was. Hm. Annoying. Tiny black boxes you have no reason to hover your cursor over are not good places to put your critical interactables, especially if you don't tell the player that there's anything to look for. I went over every single box in the first relay three times before I found it, because it didn't look like anything important. I kept trying to interact with the red light instead. 

The reactor instability was just irritating. Shutting down manually doesn't do anything, which I thought was the solution. If I could immediately take steps to fix it as soon as it started going wrong, that would've been nice. As it was, first time it came up I was panicking for however long it took for the vent option to come up, then the next two times I was just annoyed waiting for it. Really took me out of the - genuinely excellent so far - atmosphere. I wasn't scared, I wasn't wondering what was going on, I was impatiently waiting to get rid of the noise.

The radar seemed kinda pointless? It didn't give me a map, following it was actively counterproductive most of the time - the red dot lead me straight into a wall - and it was just kinda there. I ended up ignoring it.

At one point in the second relay, the game got suddenly brighter and stayed that way for the rest of the game. No idea why. Good luck finding that bug.

Speaking of bugs, every so often the game would randomly get much louder for like a quarter second, then reset. I was playing on about 73, 74% volume, if that helps? 

What was the dead guy on the last relay station there for? Guy just keeled over and froze, then we move on with no explanation. 

I was looking through the elevator doors as they closed when going down at the last bunker, which meant I could see the mech despawn before the doors were halfway closed. That was funny as hell.

The ending was. Uh. There was flesh all of a sudden? I guess? Cool story, bro. Meat noises were sufficiently gross to fulfil that role, which was neat, but there wasn't really any buildup, just sudden meat. And eyes. I wasn't expecting it, which is something, I suppose, but I also wasn't, like, interested in it? There's flesh now. Okay. Moving on.

Cool game, don't regret playing it. Wouldn't play it again though.

Great game really enjoyed it definitely looking forward to play more of your games 

Hi! I just posted a Let's Play video of your game. The experience of piloting an industrial mech and exploring the blizzard was so unique—it's not something you see every day, and I had an absolute blast! Both the graphics and the story are incredible. Thank you for making such an amazing game!

I like it, thank you.
Also you can check my games to!
:)

Very well done. I like the detail of the footprints in the snow matching the direction of the camera. I also like how weighty the mech feels.


I will say that finding the "on" button for the Simon says machines is a bit tricky.


Thanks, yeah I found a lot of people struggled with finding the button

I was playing the game, but I had what I think was a resolution issue? A lot of things were cut off the screen on both the top and bottom for me, which I noticed, but only became an issue with the wire screen at the start, as I couldn't complete due to the path going outside of the screen, with me unable to pass the wire through it so I got stuck at that part indefinitely, I do use a singular widescreen monitor if that matters, l adore the aesthetics though

I had the same problem, i loved the aesthetics of this game and wanted to play it through but i was unable to beat the first hacking minigame since it was cut off on the top and bottom. I have a wide screen 3440x1440 monitor, but i cant move the game to a smaller monitor it seems to resolve it on my end. Id love to play this game, so i hope this bug gets fixed at somepoint down the line!

Hey guys sorry you are having trouble with this! I will look into it and update it! Cheers!

Bug should be fixed, thanks.

Bug should be fixed, thanks.

Great experience! Good job! I was not expecting that ending at all. I am reunited.

Congratulations to all the creators of this indie game, the game is very good, good graphics, good sounds,y history I give you 5 stars, I want all the creators of this game to subscribe to my YouTube channel please, thank you, I am very excited about your subscription and support, greetings from Spain

Loved the experience! It's the kind that makes you wish for a bigger game with similar MECHanics and atmosphere.

My Gameplay

Hey. Just found the game and played it, and i think i fucked up?

every time i board the mech am slowly dying of radiation because the core is unstable.

i don't know what am suppose to do, the two paths i found are blocked off and that one tower is locked.

i went around and under that building at the start, i went in the hangar see if i missed anything and couldn't anything.


Am assuming i missed something very obvious somewhere-

Hi sorry you are having trouble, from your comment I can't really determine if it's a gameplay issue or an actual bug. If you continue using the mech with an unstable core, a ventilation panel will appear.
As for the tower, try clicking on the electrical box outside.

First time *EVER* writing a comment about a game. Absolutely mind blowing compination of elements. My only issue is that now im craving for more... Like I want to reunite one more time hehe

I really appreciate it! I am working on my next game, stay tuned!

Amazing game. Great atmosphere!

Is Null Resonance coming to Steam? 

No, no plans to. I am happy to keep it a free game here on itch.

Such a good game, made me jump twice, good story telling, little confused about the ending, overall was a good experience to play, keep it up. 

Amazing game with true exploration. Overall MECHanics work great. Audio is spectacular. The ending is surprising, even if you have expectations. Great job! Hope to see more hiqh quality projects from you!

Thank you sir, even the English dub is enjoyable. 

Epic stuff. I don't understand how is this not 3-4 dollars on steam. but what i don't understand even more is how come i can't just blind those things?

Perfect example of how less is more. The game establishes its oppressive atmosphere almost immediately, and includes so many subtle moments that deepen your immersion. Even though its relatively short, the pacing is perfect. A concise and evocative horror experience. Bravo.

What a great review, your words have made me happy. Thank you.

What can i even say. That was phenomenal man. I wont say much to not spoil the game but that one scene was insane. Amazing game I wish to see more by you!

Thanks, that means a lot to me! I will be creating more games, stay tuned.

No problem man :) Just sent through $7. doesn't  feel right to play a game of this quality for free.

Really appreciate it! really motivating for me

Thanks for playing. Glad you enjoyed.

I definitely have. The game was a treat, especially if you’re a fan of games like Void Crawler or Dead Space-y atmospheres like I am. I absolutely wish for this game to get more attention. In the pre-edit btw I was a lot more descriptive in making a recommendation, but I quickly realized that it’d be best to leave more to the imagination and let people decide for themselves on what to think.

Thank for the awesome review, I am excited for more people to play it.

i really wanted to play this cause it looks cool and i love mechs but i cant steer the mech at all, i can only look up and down with the player when im piloting

Damn sorry to hear that, honestly not sure what could be causing that. What peripherals do you have?

(1 edit)

you have to start the mech by holding E key?

yes i know i can move around but i cant turn in my mech
