Great game for a starter project, would love to see what the future has for this solo developer, solid gameplay, jump scares for the first run through were on point. defs a great game that can be built upon to make something truly great.
good job mixo fun game enjoyed every minute love all the easter eggs for streamers and glad have maddvlad making his debut in the gaming world good stuff
I don't do horror games but after this game, I do now! Awesome game with fun design and simple enough to keep it challenging without being annoying. Loved it and would recommend it to anyone who likes horror games.
Amazing Game, I actually played Death on Holly Ridge before this one. I like the similarities between the two games and you can see that the Dev has a distinct style he follows, it doesn't come of repetitive though as the games are drastically different from each other while keeping a subtle signature on them. The jump scares were my favorite as always, the pacing of them is tasteful and keeps you on your toes. Beautiful ending that leaves you wondering if you would survive a situation like this in real life, my insticts tell me I wouldn't.
Absum really surprised me in the best way. For Mixogames’ first game, it’s got a super creepy vibe that kicks in right from the start. The house constantly shifting around you is freaky in all the right ways, and the little story bits you find actually make you want to dig deeper. And the jumpscares? Yeah… they got me. More than once. Always hit right when I let my guard down. It’s a short, 1–1.5 hour experience, looks way better on medium or higher settings, and honestly feels way more polished than you’d expect from a first-time, self-taught dev. Really excited to see what Mixogames makes next.
Amazing jump scares and well written storyline!! A must play!
这游戏非常好玩,走两步游戏卡脚,走三步游戏死机,把游戏里的恐怖元素直接带到现实!!!!
The game is great for lots of easy jump scares. But the game play can be confusing as they don't tell you things like how to reload your camera and such. The storyline was just meh. So great jump scares everything else meh.
7/10 DECENT too predictable jump scared between 3 minutes 2 miunutes kinda dummy but ok overall
Scary Scuffed Games #457 https://twitch.tv/DitoMido Bisherige Reviews Archiv: https://rsg.ditomido.de/archive Vorgeschlagen von: Rittersternchen. Absum ist der inbegriff von Shovelware. Absolut grausiges Gamedesign das mich regelrecht zur Verzweiflung brachte. Aber am Ende wurde sich halbwegs mühe gegeben mit einem Hauffen Assets eine Geschichte zu fabrizieren und möchst jedes Klischee aber auch jeden Fehler Gamedesign der Indie Horror-Game-Szene nachzustellen. Absolut keine Kaufempfehlung von mir, ich hoffe MixoNat hat in sich in neueren Projekten stark verbessert. Eine kurze Auflistung der Kritik: - Sinnloses integrieren von manchen Schlüsseln sorgt für unnötiges Backtracking, - Schlüsselelemente absolut grausig, unscheinbar und extrem unersichtlich platziert - oftmals keine wirkliche Questübersicht - abgedroschene vorhersehbare Jumpscares - Essenzielle Spielmechaniken welche ein Quantitätslimit haben und einen Softlocken könnten. Rating: Dito: 1.8/5 Chat: 2.43/5 Gesamt: 2.12/5
