- “In the realm of indie horror, Suite 776 stands out with its chilling atmosphere and intriguing backstory.”
- “The story follows Marcy, an obsessed architect who created her masterpiece, Suite 776, before hanging herself.”
- “Not only that, but the story is very intriguing and engaging as you have to piece it together as you progress throughout the game by reading notes found around the house and your notebook.”
- “The story was also very mediocre in this one, as it explains just enough to normalize the actions the character does to push the plot forward, regardless of how nonsensical they are.”
- “The only aspect I could really bash Suite 776 for is the story itself, which just seems to be missing something, leaving you with that weird feeling of disappointment.”
- “Yeah, the story is a little bare-bones, the textures and level design have a bit of that copy/paste feel to them, and the sole enemy in the game (a ghostly woman named Marcy) moves a little awkwardly and isn't all that scary when you get a good look at her.”
