  • monetization
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The monetization strategy of the game has been criticized for being exploitative, with accusations of plagiarism and asset flipping, as the developers failed to credit original creators. Users report a pattern of fake reviews and a cash grab approach, leading to a frustrating gameplay experience rather than a challenging one. Overall, the monetization practices are viewed negatively, contributing to a perception of the game as low-quality and deceptive.

    • “The 'developers' here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets, so this is plagiarism as well as a cash grab.”
    • “They're all written in either Russian or broken English, appear at almost exactly the same time shortly after the game launched on Steam, all have a direct Steam purchase of the game, and the accounts are used consistently to write fake reviews for asset flips and other cash grabs/scams.”
    • “Avoiding the enemies happens more by luck than judgment, and that all adds up to a game experience that is more frustrating than challenging.”
  • atmosphere

    • “It does have a nice scary atmosphere when you wear headphones.”
    • “There are some things 12 Hours does right... the environment randomizing on every playthrough keeps the game fresh, and it doubtlessly has a creepy atmosphere with a decent soundtrack; however, in its current state, it is pretty unfairly balanced.”
