Abducted: The Night Hunters

Just read! It's so sad to see the good game being completely unknown. Perhaps you're not sure about quality of this game. I understand, - it only has a few reviews, and yep, it's only made by one person, which usually means that the game wouldn't be good enough, but this one... is surely exception. Frankly speaking, i also thought it's going to be something typical, like most of modern indie horror games. And yet, "i gave it a try", and completely changed my mind. This game is awesome, and here's why: 1) [b] Map and surroundings. [/b] There is a huge and own-styled terrifying world out there for an alpha version. You shouldn't say "the graphics are bad", - for a horror game they totally fit! This game is an open world experience with a lot of buildings, some of which can be only accessed with tools which can be spawned in special places. Some zones have secrets hidden beneath, or unique species. There are many places you can discover. And it's all just an alpha. 2) [b] The atmosphere and idea is wonderful. [/b] There are not many horror games which look frightening, especially without being paranormal. And it's not about the jumpscares, - when the night comes, the aliens (not ghosts, not monsters, but the aliens!) are making you feel completely unsafe. The sky turns violet, the unknown black flying materia on the edge of the world looks especially good, the lights appear from the sky intending to find every living creature which is not an alien, the UFOs are flying around lighting every possible spot of the world, and the aliens... you can never rely on safety, but your hearing and hiding skills might help you survive. And yup, the mechanics are special. It's not just "running all nights". By playing this game you're getting better and better, - you're getting used to scary noises and other effects of game, which are, to be honest, are very well made. You're also learning the map, - you know where to find different stuff and what places you should better visit on the early stage of survival. 3) [b] Two game modes, possible co-op in the future and the developer's effort. [/b] There is a free roam, where you can practice and save your progress by sleeping during the day. There is also a hardcore mode, where your death would be fatal, - you'll lose the progress, but your result will be placed on the leaderboards. Both modes are fun. And as was told on the official discussions, there are plans for co-op in the future. The developer has a lot of plans for this game. For now you can still find the bugs, lack of possibilities etc etc, but there will be way more stuff in the future, which is really great news, because, i as i truly believe, it's going to become a real survival game, where you can spend a lot of happy (scary) hours. This game deserves to get popular, and i really hope it will. P.S. Thanks a lot for awards!

El juego es muy bueno!! Me encato, eso si tiene un par de bugs. Y hay muy poca comida. pero lo demas esta genial, ME ENCANTO!!!

Buen juego, estilo artistico retro, buena jugabilidad y bastante dificil sin ser injusto.

El juego tiene varios bug, pero solucionables. -Hay un bug del puente, que si te quedas ahi, y estas atento, puedes pasar sin problema la noche. -Hay un bug tambien en la entrada de los guardabosques, donde se nota que hay combustible y bastante, pero el juego crashea al tratar de entrar. -Creo, que los niveles de Sed, Stamina y Sueño, bajan demasiado rapido. (Solo es una opinion) -Hace falta mas alienigenas persiguiendote, que le pongan mas tension a esconderse :D! por lo demas, el juego esta super bien hecho, y lo recomiendo ya que es producto nacional :)!

Si te gusta la temática de los ovnis o abducciones sin dudas debes adquirir este juego ;3 (Análisis de la beta en sus primeras versiones hasta la 1.0.4 / iré actualizando mi reseña cada X actualización importante) El juego cuenta con un hermoso ciclo día y noche (incluyendo en el menú XD) Durante el día podrás explorar, buscar lore o suministros pero nunca podrás sentirte seguro. En la noche en cambio como indica el título del juego deberás sobrevivir a los invasores, corriendo o escondiéndote mientras rezas para que no te atrapen. (Los enemigos cumplen con su propósito de provocar ansiedad o miedo :D ) Pero sin importar si es día o noche siempre has de estar al pendiente de tus necesidades biológicas. Tus niveles de energía, sed o hambre bajaran constantemente, pero ojo, porque correr hará que tus niveles desciendan mas rápido (así que corre solo cuando sea de vida o muerte XD) Quedarte a 0 en alguno de tus niveles se tomara como una muerte instantánea por lo que procura siempre estar descansado y tener algunos suministros a mano. (Puedes recuperar estos niveles durmiendo, bebiendo botellas de agua o comiendo enlatados) A lo largo del juego podrás encontrar vehículos e incluso 1 dron :D. Los vehículos se controlan en tercera persona, estos te permitirán ir de un extremo a otro más rápido y a veces con ellos podrás escapar de los ovnis, pero cuidado con chocar o quedarte sin gasolina XD. Con el dron tendrás la vista de un mini mapa de la zona en que estes además de poder moverte libremente por los alrededores (no tan lejos pero suficiente para orientarte o planear una ruta de viaje) Pero ten en cuenta que aunque no veas tus niveles de energía, sed o hambre estos igualmente estarán bajando. Tanto con el dron como con los vehículos podrás ser abducido así que cuidado :P Este juego cuenta con dos principales modos de juego (Con la meta de añadir a futuro un modo cooperativo) 1-Modo libre: En este modo la amenaza alienígena se ira intensificando con cada noche lo que te permitirá acostumbrarte al juego y poder explorar el mundo a tu ritmo. Además de ser el modo más inversivo de los dos, este modo es el recomendado para jugadores nuevos. 2-Modo Supervivencia: (un modo de juego desafiante y sin descanso) En este modo como dice el nombre deberás sobrevivir cuanto puedas, lo que te adelanto no será para nada fácil. Porque sin importar donde vayas o te escondas los aliens te acosaran y sabrán en que cuadrante podrías estar todo el tiempo! Lo que te garantizara una agonía y terror constante por ser acosado constantemente por estos invasores. ¿No es algo injusto que ya sepan donde podría estar y no me den respiro en la noche?. Para nada, si quieres descansos ve al modo libre porque en este modo solo te espera el desafío de sobrevivir lo que más puedas junto a la promesa de que serás abducido más temprano que tarde. Gracias por leer ;3

Ok, first thing's first: I gave this game a 'thumbs up' because it's got potential, and if the dev keeps working on it, they might just make it great. Otherwise, the game is a bit too raw right now. The good: 1) This game is spooky! Especially when an alien comes at you at full speed, or when a flying saucer 'finds' you. 2) The soundwork is amazing! 3) The idea is just great. So many games deal with alien invasions, but I don't think I ever saw a survival game that deals with the subject that's also a sandbox. 4) Collectables. There are various papers (posters, letters, documents) you can find around the game world that add to the immersion, give hints, and just add a bit to the fun factor. The bad: 1) Unity engine. Yes, it's a negative. 2) There are several issues regarding optimization and interaction with the game world (I couldn't pick up items on at least two occasions, despite the pickup markers appearing). 3) No crouching or stealth - I feel that for a game like this, they are required, at least in a very basic form. Nitpicks: 1) There's a grainy filter that can't be turned off. I get that the dev might have added it in to add to the game's atmosphere or whatnot, but I hate visual filters in general, especially grainy ones. 2) I'm not sure if the game has any audio hints for when the protagonist needs water\ food\ rest, but if not, they should be added in. 3) The car camera and handling need improvement in my opinion.

I hate UFOS, I'm too scared of them, I played this like 15 minutes and say "no, I can't, good bye" If I'm scared now, I dont want to now how much I'll be when this game is better!

ive played alien isolation ive played dead space and ive played aliens vs predator but this is different its like the movie signs if it was a game i think what makes it bloody good is that its the most unique game ive ever seen in years there are things that need a bit more improvements 1 the graphics are alright but they can be better 2 make the space ship a little more bigger and less cartoon look 3 make the day and night cycle a bit more longer 4 make it so you actually kill the aliens i had a fire axe and tryed to attack the alien but it doesnt do anything its only use for cutting planks final improvements 5 make the map bigger and make it so you dont die instantly form thirst or hunger make it so when your starving you slowly start to lose hp and you walk slow. spread as much of the game as possible so famous youtubers try the game out and the viewers try the game out so i would highly recomand this masterpiece

Jugué la demo para el steam fest y se nota la preocupación en el desarrollo, a nivel de gráfica y mejora en la jugabilidad. Se nota que está hecho por alguien que le gusta muchos los juegos y es un doble logro al pensar que lo ha hecho una sola persona. Destaco la capacidad multifacética del desarrollador, quien ha logrado una atmósfera a nivel de estética, jugabilidad, música y sonidos. El juego al estar en acceso temprano permite que reciba las críticas constructivas, me contacté con el desarrollador para dejarle algunas opiniones, siendo muy accesible y acepta las mejoras sin problemas. Además, el tener la posibilidad de diversos formatos de juego es muy entretenido, me gusta el modo superviviencia, es más rápido, mientras que el modo libre deja recorrer con más calma el mapa que está lleno de secretos que se dejan ver en el trailer. El trailer que hizo es genial, incluso en el trailer me asusté con la expectación que genera. Le deseo lo mejor a este joven, que el juego se masifique y pueda seguir haciendo juegos de este tipo. Yo creo que a todos nos llevó a una época de los 90 cuando todos alucinábamos con los ufo y los extraterrestres. Estaré atento a las nuevas actualizaciones, siga mejorando, pero de por sí, recomiendo 101% el juego.

This review has been written at September 2nd 2021, so i could edit it in the future as the game gets more updates. Where do i start? Let's try with the atmosphere, which is pretty well done, it is the best part of the game, the grays are terrifying and is hard to escape from them once they get you, i cannot say the same thing about the UFOs i think the AI could be better, is pretty easy to avoid them even when are so many of them and is easier when you get in at a car. Talking about cars, if you want to survive more nights just get in at one of them, you´ll make 10 nights at least with them, the gas runs out slow, unfortanely i can't say the same thing about food, water and sleep. These ones run out pretty fast, you can go from 100 to 0 in just one day which doesn't make sense to starve or die of thirst in just one day, the game continually respawn food and water at the same places though, so i will say is ok. At the beginning i talked about the AI of the greys, it is good but not perfect, you can avoid them by simply just get in the car and not getting out of it, the grays will get closer and will start to move the car, the screen will get blurry and you won't be able to move but that's it, the greys won't try to get you out of the car, i do not know if is a bug or they are not programmed to do that, i hope the developer can fix it. The map is fine, you can tell it is small from the start but it has many places at it and the game rewards you by exploring it with suplies, you can get lose at the beginning and you'll have to play many times to get memorized the map. The game is good, it has scared the ♥♥♥♥ out of me many times with the grays (and they still doing it) and the UFOs do their part too, you will feel the tension at every moment, at the day by founding places where to sleep and to find food and water which are not easy to find, at the nights by the alien creatures hunting you at every moment. The game has its flaws but you get used to it fast, i would say this game has more to offer in the future and i'll be following it, it's a matter of time this game gets famous on Youtube and Twitch. Oh, i forgot to say... if you think the game is prety easy from what i've described, try with survival mode, lets see if you can survive more than a minute.
