SCREAM JAM 2024 gHost's Choice -
A surreal foray into warehouse logistics in which the player is tasked to find boxes throughout the warehouse and deliver them. Repetition is leveraged wonderfully here to disarm the player into a false sense of complacency, and the simple tasks begin to defy expectations at every turn. There’s plenty of scripted sequences that lead the player into scares, often due to the claustrophobic shelves of cardboard boxes. By the end, crawling through the literal bowels of the warehouse, I asked myself: Why am I delivering all these boxes in hell? I can imagine the thought isn’t too dissimilar to the average Amazon warehouse worker. A really tight and well-paced game.
