Personally, I always found the main menu to be quite strange.
Thankfully, EGS updated it recently in Patch 7 I believe, where the background became animated - which looks great and matches the game’s atmosphere perfectly. But one thing has remained static ever since the beta.
The journal on the left hand side is boring, and it makes the whole menu feel sort of bland and uninspired. I have some ideas to fix this.
1.) One idea to make the menu more interesting is by making the book 3D. I’m not sure if this would work? But it would be really cool to see a 3D animated book that maybe even has an opening animation when you open the settings. If making it 3D isn’t possible, making it animated in general would be really cool.
2.) The font doesn’t match the game at all, let alone the LOGO of the game. I feel like considering the text is on a journal, the font should look like Quentin’s handwriting, while also being clean and easy to read. I feel like even just this could help the menu a lot more.
3.) And finally, PLEASE give us a chapter selection and save and load system. These features were present in the first game, and I understand a chapter selection might be kind of awkward considering there aren’t acts, but maybe you can select the house to start in. But multiple save files would be really helpful.
That’s about it, let me know what you think!
