Well this uh.. definitely confirms that Horror games are not for me. It really got me with the jump scares for sure, I was not expecting that much. But uh, overall it's a pretty well put together complete game.
Though I do have to say this is also speaking from someone with no experience in horror games that the controls felt a little weird. I was having to move to this specific place for the "eyes" guy to click the switch, while I was just having to hit space for the "window" guy. And then I never really got to see the closet guy.
Mostly cause I died to moving between the two others, or to the weird sanity drop when my flashlight ran out of battery... To be more specific tho:
- All the jumpscares, the jumpscares definitely got me like I said so that's definitely a plus considering the game. Audio was awesome for sure.
- Controls though like I said, felt kinda slow... having to switch up the control scheme completely between the window and the door felt weird. I spent awhile trying to figure out how to stop "eyes" guy. Until I realized I had to slowly move over to the button to do it. Meanwhile trying to watch the window to avoid losing there. Overall the movement felt really slow... I felt like most of my time was dedicated to trying to move between locations rather than actually dealing with or checking the locations.
- Sanity overall felt very... weird. There were times where I completely lost it all due to my flashlight running out as I walked into the lamp light. There were others where I'd just lose a bunch etc. Though the main issue was the wait for the death screen. For whatever reason the "sanity" death screen took forever to come up. Which meant anytime I died of sanity I just had to wait for it to finish...
Overall though, speaking as someone who has not played a horror game, and probably won't after this. It's scary and it's definitely interesting, but mostly scary.
