Area 19

The theme sounds exciting and creepy. The game itself is massively disappointing, even for a $4.39 game. The actual atmospheric elements seem to be haphazardly pulled from generic sources and placed without too much thought as to they actually makes any sense or contributes to the atmosphere. The scares felt lazy. There's this gimmick with a photo with some vaguely "creepy" image and loud music jumping onto the screen. During no instance of this was it ever horrific. A LOT of elements look like AI junk. Not AI-generated elements that look good. AI made elements that look like garbage. Like posters with words that are nonsense, monsters with faces that are blurry when you get close. Overall, it just wasn't interesting or scary. I was bored for 90% of the walk-through hoping it would get better. Oh, and I don't know if I actually finished or not. A screen popped up with the name of the game, after which the menu wouldn't appear, nothing responded, and then the game just crashed. I tried going back into the game to see if it really was the end or just a crash, but I guess this game doesn't have saves.
