  • Unique and appealing art style with hand-drawn and 3D visual elements that create a creepy, atmospheric experience.
  • Short, enjoyable psychological horror experience that is accessible and engaging for horror fans and achievement hunters.
  • Free to play and well-made, with some interesting narrative elements and multiple paths that encourage replayability.
  • Very short gameplay duration which leaves players wanting a longer story or more expanded content.
  • Repetitive and simplistic gameplay mechanics with some minor bugs reported, such as input and movement issues.
  • Story can be unclear or incomplete, lacking depth and character development, making it feel like an unfinished concept.

  • graphics

    20 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game features a distinctive hand-drawn, minimalist 3D art style that many players find atmospheric and visually appealing, often noted for its use of limited colors and creepy tone. While some compare its aesthetics to titles like Bendy and the Ink Machine, the graphics are generally praised for enhancing the mood despite being relatively simple and brief. Overall, the art style is considered the standout aspect, effectively contributing to the game's unique and memorable experience.

    • “Cool hand-drawn yet 3D visuals.”
    • “The art style and the choice of three colors, one of which is black and increases over time, really help create the overall creepiness of the game.”
    • “Love the hatched shading style and the art style in general, gives me Don't Starve vibes (maybe psychological horror 3D survival game in the future?).”
    • “The art style is probably the biggest draw, but it seems largely borrowed from games like Bendy and the Ink Machine. If you like that kind of art, definitely go play Bendy, it's great.”
    • “The graphics in this game are passable, but could be better.”
    • “Like the graphics style, the story surprised me at first and I'm trying hard to become fluent in owowo uwu!”

  • story

    13 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The story in this game is notably brief, quirky, and somewhat ambiguous, with many players finding it intriguing but underdeveloped. While the narrative is simple and occasionally confusing, it holds potential for deeper exploration in future titles. Overall, the story serves more as a thought-provoking backdrop rather than a fully fleshed-out plot.

    • “The whole plot does hinge around a reference to another video game, but the implications of the story are interesting.”
    • “I feel like there is more to the story and the developer could expand upon it with a bigger budget.”
    • “Beautifully atmospheric with a very unique art style and a short but thought-provoking story.”
    • “There is no passable, plausible, or sensible story.”
    • “"Ordinary Day" is a quirky "horror" game (I guess "uncomfortable" game makes more sense) where you do a little first-person adventuring in an incredibly short narrative story... you can blast through this in less than 15 minutes.”
    • “The gameplay is very simple and repetitive and I didn't fully understand the story, I feel?”

  • gameplay

    6 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is simplistic and repetitive, with minimal variation throughout the playthrough. While it contributes to the eerie atmosphere, it lacks depth and engaging mechanics, making it feel barebones compared to top-tier games. Overall, the gameplay struggles to fully capture and maintain player interest.

    • “A creepy tale that reveals itself through gameplay.”
    • “There isn't really much change in gameplay over the playthrough, but you get new dialogue each day you kill one person until you kill the last one, which is the sign that the game is near the end.”
    • “Game mechanics are barebones.”
    • “I don't think it's a ringing endorsement when the time to install and uninstall the game rivals the amount of gameplay it has.”
    • “There isn't really much change of gameplay over the playthrough but you get new dialog each day you kill one person until you kill last one which is the sign that the game is near the end.”

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The atmosphere is praised for its unique art style and beautifully immersive design, complemented by a short yet thought-provoking story that enhances the overall experience.

    • “Beautifully atmospheric with a very unique art style and a short but thought-provoking story.”

  • stability

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game is generally stable and enjoyable, though there are minor bugs such as issues with the basement stairs. Overall, stability does not significantly detract from the experience.

  • music

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music is widely praised for being catchy and enjoyable, often described as a "bop" that enhances the overall gaming experience.

    • “Music is a bop”
