230 mentions Positive Neutral NegativeThe game's story is a blend of retro horror elements, featuring a mix of campy dialogue, intriguing character interactions, and a dark narrative that draws inspiration from 80s slasher films. While many players appreciated the atmosphere and voice acting, some found the plot to be predictable, with pacing issues and an abrupt ending that left certain elements feeling unresolved. Overall, the story is engaging for fans of the genre, but its brevity and occasional lack of depth may leave some players wanting more.
“The captivating storyline, well-crafted environments, and engaging gameplay combine to create an unforgettable adventure into the depths of fear and mystery.”
“Bloodwash is a good take on the classic PlayStation horror games and slasher films of old, providing a good array of spooks and creeps while telling the story of one woman and her fateful trip to a 24/7 laundromat.”
“I was sucked into the story immediately, the jump scares were good but not overwhelming and cheesy.”
“I think the story and ending felt unfinished, a little unsatisfied and feel like something was missing, overall still happy to have played.”
“The story was told rather awkwardly through dialogue exposition rather than through anything you find or interact with.”
“The story is predictable and spoonfeeds everything to you, the inventory system is bloated, there are no scares outside of jumpscares, and it's 8 dollars for an hour of gameplay that mostly consists of waiting for your laundry to be done in real time.”
