When you step on a bear trap you have to mash the jump button to get out.

Maybe also make it so you have to hold down a button to disarm a bear trap.

no..

#

they are as annoying as it gets already

it’s to easy

#

Harder = challenging
Challenging = rewarding

we were originally supposed to spam the e button to get out
that went unused/scrapped though

Hn players when there's a possibility of the game not holding your hand

bro bear traps are useless rn

#

this actually makes them useful cause now you have to pay attention and disarm them while sneaking

I honestly totally agree

#

It should make a loud sound, attracting the neighbor. Just like in the first game

#

Some kind of short speed and limping animation would also be a fair and cinamatic consequence.

it’s crappy that they completely scrapped this mechanic. it was probably the only enjoyable thing from HN1: ted would respond to you breaking his windows, (not omitting the fact that the man is legally deaf and cant hear footsteps) but now he just doesnt care at all.

The game is to easy we need harder bear trap

jade gazelle
#

yes

gloomy hinge
#

I want them to be used more

That wouldn't really make it any fun

#

They could do something where all the ai's can place them

#

But only in specific parts

#

Or they could make specific traps for each house, so the bakery would some sort of trap, but the police house would have something different

I agree with this, getting caught in a bear trap is not at all punishing in the slightest, and it would make bear traps an actual threat instead of, ‘oh noo! I gotta hit E!!’

progression systems of ai aggression should match yours, otherwise it becomes extremely one sided

#

give a human action, expect a human reaction

jade gazelle
#

they also should start adding traps to frequent escape areas

#

and the ai will start to frequently head there if you escape them

keen tiger
#

should be the first area it’ll patrol in case it thinks you’re inside

Reviving this post

Hes got the worst puzzle in the game too with those damn bore heads

#

That are timed based ntm

So yea I think making it harder would just be less fun

#

And its got the most annoying puzzle ever adding onto the difficulty

#

Cuz of the close areas. Small house

Plus the dude has a gun

#

I recommend looking into the bakery or the mayors house if u want the game to be harder/challenging

#

Cuz making otto harder would be more of a pain especially cuz of that gun of his

#

Yea theres a few moments u can get stuck

#

But compare the game to hn1. Its way better at giving hints

velvet ferry
#

And you know how those puzzles are

#

But most puzzles are good

glacial bridge
#

Otto doesn't need it

#

Cuz if u get trapped

He can shoot u and catch u

Then u lose an item and cuz of how cramped his house is. Its pretty hard to get into it sometimes so its already annoying to sometimes get the item back

#

The traps add some tension

#

The only thing i coulf agree on and hate myself for saying it is if otto can go through the broken windows

velvet ferry
#

The main intention of this post is for the traps to add a real sense of danger because the bear traps really suck in this game and they need a buff

#

It’s also meant to cut off the player because escaping is very easy because there is a exit on every corner.
