atmosphere9 positive mentions
gameplay3 negative mentions
  • Impressive accomplishment for a very young solo developer, showing potential and dedication.
  • Good atmosphere and creepy vibe with appealing monster design and visually decent graphics.
  • Free to play with a short but engaging horror experience that some found genuinely scary or spooky.
  • Game is very short with minimal plot depth and an abrupt ending, feeling more like a demo than a full game.
  • Technical issues including poor optimization, camera problems, high mouse sensitivity without options, and occasional bugs affecting gameplay.
  • Lack of sound design and gameplay depth, with simple walking simulator mechanics and limited interactivity, reducing scare impact.
  • atmosphere
    14 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is consistently praised for its creepy, immersive, and suspenseful qualities, enhanced by effective lighting, sound ambience, and detailed environments. While the monster design and overall horror vibe are well-received, some note a lack of strong scare moments and occasionally mismatched music that slightly detracts from the experience. Overall, the atmosphere significantly contributes to the game's tension and engagement despite its simplicity.

    • “It has immense atmosphere, believable environment with a lot of props without being laggy.”
    • “Very good and creepy atmosphere, good monster design and good enough story for a short game like this.”
    • “All around, atmospheric lighting helps evoke a sense of dreaded suspense as shocking scenes of barbarism, mutilation, brutality, and bloodshed paint a harrowing picture, issuing frightening reminders of the demonic monster's horrific malevolence.”
    • “Both horror and atmosphere are there; however, it lacks the scare factor and the only thing keeping you from uncovering the story is your will to push on, regardless of how 'low budget' people say has been put into the game.”
    • “The monster only appears at the end and plays royalty-free chase music that does not fit the atmosphere.”
    • “Well... what I did like is the dark atmosphere.”
  • story
    11 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story is generally seen as lacking depth and coherence, with some finding it nonsensical or underdeveloped, while others appreciate the atmospheric and eerie elements that complement the narrative. Though the plot may feel abrupt or simplistic, it is considered sufficient for a short, horror-themed walking simulator. Overall, the storytelling could benefit from improvements to enhance engagement and clarity.

    • “Both horror and atmosphere are there; however, it lacks the scare factor, and the only thing keeping you from uncovering the story is your will to push on, regardless of how 'low budget' people say has been put into the game.”
    • “Very good and creepy atmosphere, good monster design, and good enough story for a short game like this.”
    • “Its spine-chilling atmosphere, intricate storytelling, and skillfully designed gameplay combine to create an experience that will have you on the edge of your seat from start to finish.”
  • graphics
    9 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics are generally praised for their quality and effective lighting, contributing well to the atmosphere, especially in the horror setting. However, some users find the options basic and note issues like motion blur. Overall, the visuals are considered good and enhance the game's mood despite a few minor drawbacks.

    • “It's horror and it's short, the lighting was on point as well as the graphics in general.”
    • “Graphics are awesome, atmosphere and sound ambience is great.”
    • “It's cheap and the graphics were pretty good.”
    • “Motion blur is terrible.”
  • gameplay
    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is minimal and short, primarily consisting of walking with little interactivity or optimization. It serves more as a visual showcase than a traditional game experience, lasting around 30 minutes and offering limited engagement beyond exploration.

    • “I couldn't say if the gameplay is great, since it's not a very long game, but I can say it's good.”
    • “In general, walking simulators can be quite fun, especially if the atmosphere, the VHS effect (that is quite popular these days), high quality assets, and gameplay story compensate for the simplicity of basically doing nothing.”
    • “There's no optimisation, there's little to no actual gameplay, this really is a showcase of other people's unreal assets.”
    • “The whole thing wraps up in 30 minutes max, and there’s not much in the way of actual gameplay.”
    • “The setting is generic, and the gameplay is walking around doing nothing.”
  • optimization
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's optimization is currently poor, with performance issues such as low FPS and underutilized GPU even on high-end hardware. Controls are reported as clunky, and while no major bugs are noted, the overall experience feels generic and under-optimized. However, the developer is responsive to feedback and appears committed to improving performance.

    • “It's not a masterpiece by any means but I didn't encounter any bugs or optimization issues.”
    • “Game looks promising but requires optimization; it runs below 10fps on medium settings on RTX 3060 and Ryzen 9 5900HX, with GPU usage below 30% most of the time, indicating potential for further optimization.”
    • “The controls are clunky and the optimization at the time I played it left a lot to be desired; that being said, the developer is very receptive to criticism and seems to genuinely want to make a game people like.”
    • “Game looks promising but requires optimization; the game runs below 10fps on medium settings on RTX 3060 and Ryzen 9 5900HX, with GPU usage below 30% most of the time, indicating possibility of further optimization.”
    • “Bad performance, barely sounds, feeling very generic.”
  • music
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is considered lackluster and mismatched with the game's atmosphere, with some users opting to mute it entirely. The use of generic royalty-free chase music, especially during key moments, detracts from the overall experience.

    • “The atmosphere is good but needs better music to bring it out more.”
    • “The monster only appears at the end, and plays royalty-free chase music that does not fit the atmosphere.”
    • “I muted the music.”
    • “The monster only appears at the end and plays royalty-free chase music that does not fit the atmosphere.”
