Abandoned Cabins in the Woods

Abandoned Cabins In The Woods is a template flip from Anamik Majumdar, who keeps reskinning the same lame GameMaker Studio game templates and re-releasing them on Steam with a few minor changes. The GameMaker Studio templates he keeps re-releasing are just basic retro pixel (couldn't he rip off a template with proper graphics??) 2D top down/platformer stealth/action games. Here's some other copy + pastes from Anamik of [i]exactly the same game template[/i]: The 2D top down retro pixel stealth/darkness template: [list] [*] Abandoned Cabins In The Woods (this asset flip) [*] Abandoned Croxon Mansion [*] Arata Haunted Asylum [*] Axizon Labs: Zombies [*] Canterz Paranormies 1 + 2 [*] Charles Haunted Mansion [*] Gaze At Maze [*] Ghost In The Barn House [*] Gregor Hills Haunted Hospital [*] Haunted Jail: Alcatas [*] Heltons Haunted Hotel [*] House Number 666 [*] Mello Haunted House [*] My Grandpa's Haunted House [*] My Haunted Doll [*] Rescue Rina [*] Ryo The Haunted Office [*] Shelley's Haunted House [*] The Chills [*] The Haunted Exmone Theatre [*] The Haunted Tunnel [/list] These are all basically the exact same GameMaker Studio game template with a different skin and a couple of things changed. No professional effort was made in terms of game development, using a game construction kit requires no game development talent, and unsurprisingly produces products that have little to no value as games, especially when compared to the work of professional developers who create genuine products for gamers. We can consider this to be asset flipping, in this case only barely more ethical just because it's the developers own assets that keep getting copy + pasted, but the end result for gamers is the same as any Russian asset flip: A fake game with extremely poor quality, no value or merit as a serious game for gamers, polluting Steam and abusing Steam Direct as a cash grab. No matter how many times this guy copy+pastes the same game, it's not suddenly going to become a game worth playing. Rehashing the same game over and over again is just a cheap nasty cash grab. While Anamik Majumdar occasionally breaks Valve guidelines for partners and attacks reviewers, any legitimacy he may have is eradicated by the way he pumps these copy+paste asset flips out and bulk sells keys to shovelware bundle merchants like DailyIndieGame. It's also important to note Anamik Majumdar has denied using GameMaker Studio to make his asset flips, despite every single one being made with GameMaker Studio. It's unclear why Anamik Majumdar has been misleading about these templated cash grabs. If you decide to consider buying this game knowing it is just an asset flip copy + paste job, here's some other reasons to avoid it: There's no options to change the resolution for the game or customise the graphics settings. There's no way for gamers to ensure this is running at the native resolution of their displays... there's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. There's no way for gamers to try improve the low quality graphics. The game only displays in 4:3 pillarboxed aspect ratio. It's possible they developed this using an old CRT they found in a dumpster, or this game has been specifically designed for people gaming on PC's from 1995... either way, this isn't really acceptable in the modern era of PC gaming. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers. The poor quality of this asset flip is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the game all-time peak player count was only two players, and that only happened once. Possibly by accident. Now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 50,000 games for gamers to choose from (over 9,000 completely free titles), the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. Abandoned Cabins In The Woods has the cash grab price of around $4 USD, it's not worth it given the defects and shortcomings with the product, especially considering the sheer number of completely free, much higher quality games on Steam. As usual, my recommendation is to never give money to asset flippers and construction kit copy+paste cash grabs, so don't reward this one. [b][quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/quote][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.

This is a game.

Was a fun play through for sure. I'll probably be checking out the other games made by this m developer as well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C416O1MonPQ&t=2215s

I took a chance and bought the bundle without trying a game. This was my first game and I enjoyed it. I read where all the games are similar so for me that is a good thing ... more of the same. I'm not a good 'survival horror' player but the challenges were right at my limit without any rage quitting. This one was fun, but the pre-saved 'continue' slots just didn't match up to the save points they represented in the game.

Interessante para passar o tempo. O problema é que o personagem possui os ombros muito largos e geralmente dificulta um pouco a passar nas portas
