Awe

I have mixed feelings about this game. The town has a great eerie atmosphere, and it's very interesting. I'm also very intrigued by the events that occur as you explore, and I like the puzzles. It's all pretty cool. Unfortunately, there's a monster that runs around, and you can't outrun it or fight against it. If it finds you, you will die. And every time it kills you, you start the game over from the very beginning. This is extremely annoying. There are also many places that you should be able to go but can't. There are many paths that you can't enter, there's a house with an open door you can't enter, there's a room that you have to solve a code to find but cannot enter once you reach it. I don't know if this is intentional or if it's a glitch or if you have to trigger something before you can enter these paces. It's very confusing. If you do have to trigger something, I don't see any way of knowing what it is you need to do. There's no indication of which order you must do things in or where you're supposed to go. This is pretty frustrating. EDIT: I finally figured out what to do, and the game just stopped. It's not a complete game, or even close to a complete game, but you see no mention of this on the store page. If you know where to go, there's maybe 15 minutes of gameplay, then you get a black screen that says the game isn't over and that it'll be finished sometime in the future. Yet the price tag is that of a full game. I cannot recommend buying this game at this stage in its development.

Have not got that far into this game and I can already tell you this game is dope. It's so mysterious, and I think that's what makes it more fun than anticipated. I started in the game with some pretty good and crisp graphics and movement from a helicopter and some story...I was dropped down on a beautiful designed map with really nothing...I had to go looking and figure out what is going on! I found a crazy monster, two armed guards and both of which I saw Killed me and brought me back to the starting screen again...so that said, every time I search and find a little more I get more curious as to what is needed to end the game! Great work on the design, concept is cool and it moves and plays great. Big thumbs up!

[quote][b][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/b] Awe is an asset flip, or what Valve calls a "Fake Game". The "developer" paid for/pirated someone else's example/template/tutorial game, changed the name/reskinned a couple of things, and submitted it to Valve as if it was their own game.[/quote] Awe is a fairly basic Unity asset flipped first person horror adventure, one of many hundreds, if not thousands of these glutting Steam. The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unity asset store packs, arranged them haphazardly in a first person adventure game template, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. Of course I don't make these accusations lightly but the sheer number of "borrowed" assets here is remarkable. An example, the first thing you see is a helicopter asset which was stolen from this asset pack: https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/3d/vehicles/land/police-car-helicopter-52496 Likewise the nature scenery is all ripped from NatureManufacture's asset packs. All you do in this lazy asset flip is wander around an asset flipped town, solve a few asset flipped puzzles, and avoid the asset flipped monster that chases you around to try jumpscare you. The same is true for everything else in the game. It's shameless. These assets are just intended to be used as placeholders, not make up the entirety of a game so the developer can just slap out garbage in half a day and expect to be paid for the work of others. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 2 players. This is a remarkably low number, and 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 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. For comparison, the $5 asking price for this game could get you games like "DOOM", "Batman: Arkham Asylumn" or "Left 4 Dead 2". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. This kind of asset flipping isn't harmless. It makes it harder for gamers to find genuinely made games from ethical developers. It makes it harder for genuine indie developers, who put hard work into trying to make real games, to find an audience for their products. It gives indie developers a bad name. So, should you buy this asset flip? Is this better than any of the 100,000+ genuinely made games on Steam? Of course not! Awe has the greedy, cash grab price of around $5 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. For comparison, the $5 asking price for this game could get you games like "DOOM", "Batman: Arkham Asylumn" or "Left 4 Dead 2". Quality, professionally made games like those are frequently on sale cheaper than this. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/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.[/quote]

Hi! pretty decent game. it has its problems, but the puzzles are fun. i got the code to go upstairs in main house done, but i dont understand the "anna 10.blah / date" note. Also the levers on back of the tower between greenhouse and the big main one doesnt have an interaction button

Может игра и интересная, и графика в ней приятная, НО в неё абсолютно невозможно играть. Игра очень сильно тормозит и главный персонаж двигается какими-то рывками, действия в игре совершаются с секундными задержками, особенно это раздражает при решении головоломок. Если зайти в настройки игры и попробовать поменять в ней качество графики, то оно почему-то не поменяется. Часть меню игры на английском языке. Единственное, что порадовало, это - русская озвучка. Наверное, эта игра просто не доделана и выпущена второпях в дальнее плавание на просторы Стима в надежде, что и так сойдет. Не советую покупать, пока уважаемые разработчики не приведут ее в играбельное состояние.

По существу. В начале меню нет настройки звука, появляется только уже при нажатии в самой игре. Монстр убивает при паузе. После чего игра загружается с начала и не работает звук пока не нажмешь ESC Взял игру только из-за сюжета. Хотя данная карта уже примелькалась в инди проектах за последние пару лет (((( Оранжевый оттенок осени сделал ее приятней что-ли. ))) А теперь самая жесть. На кой там бегают какие-то монстры. Ладно бы ты что-то открыл и он стал бегать. И эти мужики с автоматами)))) пс:ожидал какой-то детективный сюжет как по описанию и бродилку с загадками (хотя я даже с паролем завис и не стал его шифровать). Возможно с какими-то записками. Идея интересная,но исполнение. Увы. https://youtu.be/qeS7gnvv8B0

Pretty loweffort game, one could say its an asset flip. Not fully translated to english, the maker of the game receives as much love for his work as he put into his game. None. Im on a quest of at least trying every game in my library, of which I got plenty from all kinds of bundles, not all though. If you are interested in my journey, check out my other reviews :)

Easy Achievements, 100% / 1min. Just start and close the game.

Увы ничего путнего, пустая трата времени. Тебе нихера не понятно, ничего не догнать и сразу появляется монстр от которого не убежать. Плюс грузит систему. Что/Кому/Зачем/Куда? Путь в никуда или не доделано. Скам на бабки? Идея ради идеи? Посмотрел позже игру бросили не закончив...
