Arata Haunted Asylum 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 Croxon Mansion [*] Axizon Labs: Zombies [*] Canterz Paranormies [*] Canterz Paranormies 2 [*] 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 Haunted Doll [*] Rescue Rina [*] Ryo The Haunted Office [*] The Chills [*] The Haunted Exmone Theatre [*] The Haunted Tunnel [*] Canterz Paranormies [/list] These are all basically the exact same GameMaker Studio game templates 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 anything but garbage. 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 crapware 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. Arata Haunted Asylum 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.
after smoking a fat j i had noticed this game in the steam store. what a coincidence! it was on sale -40% and i had exactly 0,95€ in my steam wallet. so from there came the decision to play it. shortly after entering the building, i realised there was no way to shoot or defend yourself. my bad, somehow got that confused looking at the images of the game. let me tell you something. the monsters/spirits (?) are easy to avoid but when they appear out of nowhere you can instantly die. so be cautious. sometimes you need to slow down other times you need to run. it also came as a surprise to see the easy controls, just for moving and to open a door or pull a switch you just had to go near it. wish there was more of a meaningful story or stronger enemies because after a few levels it feels like just a walking simulator with no horror (avoiding traps etc). i completed the game and doubt to ever revisit it but think it's an okay try which could've been a lot more engaging if there was a more complex story and you'd have to do more than picking up items and walking.
this is so good fr, dont buy
《Arata Haunted Asylum》这款糟糕的恐怖游戏让我弱小的心灵受到了严重的伤害。事实上,从故事本身到背景音乐,这款游戏把很多事情都搅得一团糟。我也不能确定这款作品到底是为了讽刺当前的社会、恐怖游戏还是为了吓人,但不管怎么说,《Arata Haunted Asylum》就没有什么值得称道的地方,整段体验下来让人感觉很短却又特别漫长。
One of the easiest of series. Many jump scares. Easy Achievements, 100 / ~30min.
小品级类似于RpgMaker做出来的恐怖小游戏,几乎全是jump scare,不是手残玩家的话半小时可以通关,游戏没有掉血一说,要么秒杀,要么没伤害,几乎不需要阅读任何游戏内提示,游戏路线一本道,也不能走回头路,除了游戏内有些灯光闪烁有点污染眼睛没什么毛病。
