While the gameplay could be better and final boss battle a bit underwhelming, this game is still one of the most refreshingly original and atmospheric horror games ever. It's truly a one of a kind game with great story telling, slowburn suspense and a fascinating world. Easily one of the best indie horror games of the golden era.
Absolutely one of the gratest games I've ever played. Every chapter feels so fresh and uniqe and the ending was suprisingly good.
Its a really cool horror game and i grew up watching fgteev playing it and now im playing it myself it has a really good story but has a lot of puzzles.
This game was some hot garbage. For a game that is currently sitting at Very Positive on Steam and is known for being one of the indie games that helped pioneer mascot horror, it truly is a steaming pile of crap. Fps was terrible Movement was unbearably slow Boss "fights" were comically boring Horror was nonexistent Story was lackluster What else is there to say? Stylistically it looked cool I suppose? I don't see the hype for this game.
Maravillosa Experiencia muy recomendable si te gusta el terror y los cartoons clásicos una mezcla original y única ha sido una gran experiencia pasarlo, ya ando con el 2 porque ese final te deja mas preguntas que respuestas, sin mas un 10/10 para un juego narrativo y de terror esta muy bueno para ser la primera entrega.
Art is nice, but the gameplay and mechanics are really outdated, the game is like a walking sim with horrible pacing, lack luster bossfights(if you can call it that). If this game seems interesting bcs of art, go for it. Horror is pretty mild and nothing scary(for me). But as Ive beaten the game, for me its a no
this game is a buggy ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ mess. I have always wanted to play it as i've seen so many youtubers play it and thought it would be fun. I cant lie the story seems interesting but i cant even play the game to find out. The bugs started in chapter 2 as 1 was smoothing sailing, i was doing the song puzzle perfect and i looked it up and it turns out there is a bug where the time just doesnt work even though the projecters on so i had to restart the chapter and then it was fine, then i got to chapter three and it just went down hill. I t was actually good and i played it up to where you have to go to level 14(just to state after each errand i went and saved the game cuz i dont like loosing my save data)but i had to get of cuz it was 3 am, So i save and log of for the night. Next evening(today) i load up and im back in chapter 2.... I dam near punched a hole through my moniter i screamed so load "What the ♥♥♥♥", 2 hours of fn and exploring gone. and do you wanna know why? cuz ther is a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ saving bug where the bendy icon can get stuck on your screen and then the game just never saves again.... ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ but i coped and seathed and convinced my self just to replay and keep playing and look past it. I get back to where i left off after another hour cuz i speedran, and i do the level 14 errand and take the elevator back i go to alice and nothing happens... i said "huh!" then i pressed esc to look at the task and it said i had'nt even been down to the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ level yet.. so i Looked up what ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ bug it was this time and apparently IF YOU USE THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ STATIONS THAT THE GAME GIVES YOU DO STOP THE ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CHASES IF YOU GET CAUGHT THE GAME BUGS OUT AND RESETS THE TASK AND THERES NO WAY TO FIX IT SO YOU HAVE TO RESTART THE ENTIRE MOTHER-♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ CHAPTER ALL OVER AGAIN. In conclution. this game is complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ and i wasted my money so please dont waste yours 0/100
BUYERS BEWARE!! SAVES DON'T WORK UNPLAYABLE. Played this game for 2 hours, saved consistently and got about half way through the game then logged off for the night. Wake up to see all my save data but the first save did not register. Think to myself "oh maybe I just didn't do it right. Played another 2 hours and this time made a conscious effort to save constantly. Not a single save registered. Lost all my progress TWICE.
Gotta restart my ENTIRE save if I leave the game at ANY point. ive become an expert at chapter 3.
this game full of bugs, first in chapter 3 if you accidentally close the toy shelf in floor k, and later you need to get to the toy factory to do the bendy cutout task, guess what you can't. on chapter 5 i can't even pick up the last piece to drain. my progress from chapter 3 to 5 is not retrivable as well. now if i want to get back where i left of, i have to restart the whole game from scratch, i hate this game so much
