Just played through and I love the foundation you guys have started. The first thing that catches my eye the most are the visuals. Very atmospheric, hopeless, dreadful. It works well with the cold environments and dim lighting. The intro text looks like it's inspired by MacReady's message from The Thing (I love it)! Other than that, I wrote up a few points of feedback I hope you find useful:
- Looks like the music on the main menu doesn't loop. - There's some overlapping with the character's light and the environment lights. You could solve this issue mostly by baking your environment lights. - Character's light illumination doesn't extend out far enough (very dim), feels more like a lighter than a flashlight. - Strange dialogue on discovering the first dismembered leg: "looks like it's missing its sister". It's feels a little out of place. Might be more impactful if the character says something like "have the [dinos] been through here?" Which eludes to an evil presence that you'll encounter soon.
- Dialogue line cutoff when outside "I won't walk away from the path, I can't risk getti-"
- Dinosaur animation is very rough (I imagine there will be more development on this). - In regards to the dinosaur concept: I'm not super sold on plain looking raptor breeds being found in an arctic climate. It's a cool concept (no pun intended), but dinosaurs that may have ever existed in that type of environment would have had feathers or fur to cover near their head, neck, and body. It might be more believable once the dinosaur enemy design is fleshed out more, or made to look more "arctic". Take a look at some images of "polar dinosaurs", they may help the design a bit.
That's all I was able to come up with. I look forward to seeing more development on the game and best of luck to you guys!
I think you need to review your comment here and not come off so patronising. You make yourself sound like an absolute fool.
Plus putting someone's else's work down when all they were doing was trying to give some constructive feedback is pretty shitty. Get some manners before you start commenting on people's reviews.

I loved it but I wish the dino movement was move random instead of moving in a line

Patronising -
"to treat in a way that is apparently kind or helpful but that betrays a feeling of superiority."
??? thats just their opinion lmao
Great game! So climatic and intense.
