At Death's Door

The Jump scares will smack you in the face and knock you out of your seat! The atmosphere of this game is amazing with the sounds and you never know when a enemy will appear. Game Rating 7/10 My Playthrough https://youtu.be/04NRozLt_8w?si=wSweZ9Jc5GlqESNX

At Death's Door is hands-down one of the scariest games I’ve ever played—and without question the most terrifying Unity game I’ve come across. What makes it so effective is its masterful use of ambience and sound design. You can go long stretches without encountering a single scare, yet the audio constantly keeps you on edge, making you feel like something is always just around the corner. That said, a big part of your time will be spent simply exploring and soaking in the dread-filled atmosphere and unraveling the mystery of how the hospital went abandoned and the patients it harbored—if that slow-burn style isn’t your thing, this might not be the game for you. What’s funny is I’m not even into these kind of games. I picked this up solely for the horror vibe—and I was not disappointed. Even though the levels stay the same, it still offers a ton of replay value for just $10. Bottom line: Give it a shot. It’s a seriously underrated gem that proves you don’t need a huge budget to craft an unforgettable, immersive horror experience.

I’ve only just started the full version of At Death's Door, but I spent a lot of time with the demo, and it absolutely hooked me. The eerie atmosphere, immersive storytelling, and psychological horror elements were all there in the demo, and I'm thrilled to see that the full game builds on it beautifully. Even in just a few minutes, I can tell this is going to be something special. If the demo grabbed you, the full version is absolutely worth it.

I'm an avid fan of indie horror titles, and boy howdy this game was RIGHT in my wheelhouse in terms of stuff I love to play. As a horror buff, it was easy to pick up on where the Dev's inspirations were coming from, and I wholeheartedly believe that they showed that off in a tasteful manner. Compelling story, well written lore/characters, and the eerie atmosphere was the icing on the cake in this game. There were a few kinks, all of which the dev's are currently working out, but that didn't hinder the gameplay or make it any less of an enjoyable experience. Some of the puzzles were pretty challenging, but hey that's not such a bad thing considering I am a pretty dense gamer at times.. All in all? I loved it. That ending left me CRAVING for more. Huge thanks to Azimyth for letting me play this and give my own unfiltered and honest review/opinion on their game. Probably one of the better jumpscares I've had during a livestream lol.

Game crashed 5 times trying to play. Also, way too loud … pass..

At Death's Door is the perfect game for anyone looking for unexpected jump scares, deep-thought puzzles, interesting story lines, and twists. This was my first game in an asylum setting, and it brought a really unique, new perspective to horror games for me. Highly recommend for both well-versed horror game players and newbies!

[h1]7/10 若非结局仓促，其本可大有作为[/h1] At Death‘s Door是一款以探访闹鬼精神病院为流程主线的第一人称步行模拟器玩法的心理恐怖游戏，你可以从作品中高质量的模型和丰富且不被复用的各种小游戏中，看出开发者注入本作的极大努力和心血，这让这个小成本的作品 能在运用合适的滤镜效果和环境音效下展现出相当不错的影调质感和完全不显廉价的恐怖氛围，虽然游戏使用了不少Jump scare的手段，似乎背离了游戏所谓的“心理恐怖”标签，但是本作确实在血浆伤口等低级恐怖感要素的运使上确实还算克制，更多的则是通过病例等碎片化的环境叙事要素呈现，并通过背景音乐等手法逐步将紧张感拉升至高点，而后在你注意力高度集中且被不安感环绕的时候，再利用Jump scare收割你的感官刺激，这样的jump scare的使用至少让我觉得是合理且有效的。即使我不是这个品类的粉丝，我也相当程度能欣赏到这个设计技法的优秀执行（我不至于说这个手法很巧妙，因为“通过晦暗的环境的寻物需求调动玩家注意力集中并在此时释放恐怖内容”是一个很fundamental的设计技法，但是的确在实际的关卡设计和执行上能看出开发功力的差距）。 说回游戏，本作主角算是一位专业人士，以经营恐怖主题的节目“Ghost Hunters”为生，为了挽救收视率，你根据朋友的线报告，前往了一家荒废已久的精神病院——圣瓦伦丁医院拍摄节目。主角属于强行给自己上强度，仅要求当地的合作者留下发电机等设备后，就只身进入医院进行探险了，主角明显拥有丰富的超自然探索的经验，其设备中也包括了寻鬼摄像机等设备，而这个世界设定中，这些鬼也是确切存在，且可以对主角进行伤害并致死的，好在本作可以在任意阶段进行手动存档，但是似乎没有自动保存。游戏的恐怖叙事主要通过这些精神病人的病历，笔迹和过往经历表现，只能说这帮人进精神病院大概是因为当地在70年代就已经没有死刑了吧。其行径包括食用婴儿，撕了别人的脸戴上后参加婚礼等，而且不少病人在死后依旧能以一种奇怪的方式影响显示，或是不能真正死去。你在游戏中有时会重历某些病人在医院中的经历，从而和游戏丰富的解密体验结合。 目前游戏的体验短板包括可交互物不会在远处就以白点等形式显现，也没有任何形式的地图指引。你只能通过亮度不足的手电筒通过视觉查找物品，而且直到你的准星完全对准那个交互物时才会显示交互，这让我几乎在游戏开局时就已经在卡关了；另一方面，游戏流程过短，依旧感觉像个技术演示的demo而不是成品，虽然考虑其低廉的售价，这可以被理解，但是我宁愿它是一个更完整且更贵的游戏，毕竟游戏展示出的氛围营造功底，实在让我觉得游戏在逃离仪式室的草率不负责任且令人疑惑的结局手段太过可惜。 [quote]关注鉴赏组：[url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/45134494]浮生评测[/url] ←"浮生若梦，一鉴倾心，邀您共赏人间烟火" 加入Steam组：[url=https://steamcommunity.com/groups/LLFLLFF]浮生评测[/url]←“一起追寻'浮生若梦'般的游戏体验” 开始“浮生若梦”鉴赏组的奇幻之旅！[/quote]

I started "At Death's Door" not knowing what to expect. The game centers around a host of an ailing ghost hunting television show. In a last ditch effort to save his show he heads to St. Valentines hospital for the criminally insane after receiving a tip from a friend. The paranormal activity picks up moments after arriving and checking on your gear. What ensues is a harrowing decent into the patients past and becoming very personal with their ailments and crimes. As you learn more and more a sense of dread develops as you creep around the dilapidated grounds. I jumped out of my skin on multiple occasions, and I recommend those who are curious and enjoy horror should give it a try. The game has a very personal touch to it, and I often thought of what went into their process as the developers made it. Speaking of which, if any of the developers happens to read this, some people who watched me stream this and myself had some questions about a few plot points. I would love the opportunity to have a brief discussion if you are willing. I had a good time with this game!

I'm a horror game newbie, but this game was a good start to get my feet wet in the genre! As someone whose big on story-telling, I liked the snippets of context and the way it layers the plot in naturally with the game-play. The atmosphere also helped immerse me into the world and the sound design is superb in creating dread. The game does a good job of building and retaining tension throughout, so even as you're just exploring, you feel that anxiety. It offers a lot of immersion and story, so would definitely recommend for other horror newbies!

This game was mad fun, had me screaming when things just come at you out of no where. The atmosphere is great, love the notes and the voice recordings. Really made me feel creeped out to explored. Would highly recommend as a horror game enthusiast!!
