  • The gameplay is limited and very short, leading to a feeling of it being less polished compared to its predecessor.

  • story

    12 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    33% positive mentions, 42% neutral mentions, 25% negative mentions

    The game's story expands on the narrative established in "The Summoning," offering a mix of poetry and horror that some players found engaging, despite its goofy and confusing elements. While it reuses familiar jump scares, it provides a more fleshed-out exploration of the Helgra the Witch storyline, leaving players with a sense of sadness by the end. Overall, the storytelling is appreciated for its depth, even if it doesn't fully clarify the plot.

    • “Much like The Summoning, I did not choose to engage in the things the game told me to do, but I rather enjoyed the poetry and the story it told.”
    • “The Helgra the Witch story gets fleshed out more here.”
    • “It was good to get more of the story in a way, rather than just the experience the first game offered.”
    • “However, it does reuse the exact same jumpscares as the summoning, and the story is sort of goofy and confusing.”
    • “It didn't seem to fit with what little story there was in the previous game.”
    • “I can't say that I fully understand the story told, but I did feel saddened by the end.”

  • humor

    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The humor in the game is characterized as goofy, eliciting strong reactions from players that enhance the overall comedic experience, often leading to laughter that may feel inappropriate for the context.

    • “We all played together, and while I found it goofy, they all freaked out, which made me laugh way more than a good mother should.”
    • “The humor in this game is absolutely on point, with clever jokes and hilarious situations that kept me chuckling throughout.”
    • “I couldn't stop laughing at the witty dialogue and absurd scenarios; it really added a unique charm to the gameplay.”

    The gameplay is considered quite limited, which detracts from the overall experience, despite the writing being decent.

  • emotional

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The emotional aspect of the game is perceived as lacking depth, with some players feeling a mild sense of fear but ultimately finding it insufficient to evoke strong emotions. One user expressed disappointment, suggesting that the game failed to deliver a truly scary or immersive emotional experience.

  • atmosphere

    1 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
    100% positive mentions, 0% neutral mentions, 0% negative mentions

    The atmosphere is heavily influenced by its rich lore and historical context surrounding the summoning, enhanced by eerie poems that contribute to a sense of creepiness.

    • “It's more lore-based and opens up on the history of the summoning, and the poems are a nice bonus feature that adds a level of creepiness to the atmosphere.”
