Beyond The Evil

[b][quote][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asset_flip]Warning: Asset Flip![/url][/quote][/b] Beyond The Evil is a Unity Asset flip, what Valve calls a "fake game". The "developer", BlackHawk Games, took the [url=https://assetstore.unity.com/packages/templates/systems/uhfps-ultimate-horror-fps-kit-254506]Horror FPS Kit[/url] Unity Store game assets from the real developers, ThunderWire Studio, changed the name, and dumped the result onto Steam. They're attempting to scam people into buying this, so they can get your money for someone else's work. It gets worse... "Horror FPS Kit" has also been shamelessly dumped on Steam by other asset flippers apart from BlackHawk Games: [list] [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/400740]VERGE:Lost chapter[/url]", asset flipped by GDNomaD [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1275450]A letter to you![/url]", asset flipped by Savage Howl Studio [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/1463420]INDICTED[/url]", asset flipped by 616 GAMES [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/3030760]Horror Manor[/url]", asset flipped by Spilled Coffee Games/Downmeadowstreet [*] "[url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/2419900]Apartament 1406: Horror[/url]", asset flipped by Airem [/list] Take a look for yourself... these are all [i]exactly the same assets![/i] Because this is an almost exact 1:1 copy + paste of the original Unity asset, it's in violation of the [url=https://unity.com/legal/as-terms]Unity Asset Store Terms of Service and EULA[/url]. Specifically, Section 2, Subsection 2.2.1a: [quote][i]Subject to the restrictions set forth in this EULA, Licensor hereby grants to the END-USER a non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide, and perpetual license to the Asset solely:(a) to incorporate the Asset, [b]together with substantial, original content not obtained through the Unity Asset Store[/b], into an electronic application or digital media that has a purpose, features, and functions beyond the display, performance, distribution, or use of Assets ("Licensed Product") as an embedded component of that Licensed Product, [b]such that the Asset does not comprise a substantial portion of the Licensed Product[/b][/i][/quote] Because the developer misused the asset pack such that it comprises the vast majority of this "game", the developer has unethically and deliberately breached the license agreement. Worse, this intellectual property violation was done in an attempt to profit from their illicit actions. Why is this permitted on Steam? The products that result from asset flips aren't "real" games. They lack depth and content, because they're just simplistic copies of demos or tutorials. In this case, "Horror FPS Kit" is just an asset pack and game engine intended to teach people how to make horror/FPS adventure games, and doesn't have any merit as a proper, fully fledged PC game, so this copy+paste of it can't be recommended. Asset flips don't involve any professional game development. Sure, sometimes they may change a few cosmetic things, swap out different assets etc, but at heart it's functionally identical to the asset they're ripping off. Asset flips like this are harmful to the gaming industry and to Steam because they reduce the visibility that sincerely made indie games should have, and make it harder for gamers to find real games from genuine developers. Don't reward this morally bankrupt, unethical behaviour from BlackHawk Games. [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] [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The developer breach of guidelines here is an alarming admission of IP license infringement (which in the USA can carry fines of up to $250,000 and up to 5 years in prison). The developer admits they stole a bunch of assets from the Unity Asset Store and used them in such a way that it breaches the agreement identified above... using intellectual property in a way they are not permitted to breaches the copyright for the assets they stole. The developer quotes a number of (severely) overrated games [i][b]which did not use stolen assets in such a way that they comprised the majority of those games[/b][/i] further invalidating the developers claims, and incriminating themselves. The developers claim they modified the assets is both false and irrelevant. It's still the same stolen assets! All of that aside you can see the disgusting attitude here.. this guy is running a scam, a deliberate attempt to get YOUR money for assets he stole from someone else. This is utterly unacceptable. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this asset flip and IP theft to anyone.

Beyond the Evil versprach viel in Sachen Horror und Spannung, doch nach 1,5 Stunden Spielzeit blieb der ersehnte Gruselfaktor leider aus. Hier sind meine Eindrücke: Grafik und Atmosphäre: Die Grafik von Beyond the Evil ist solide, aber nicht herausragend. Die Umgebungen sind detailreich und bieten eine dichte Atmosphäre, die jedoch nicht ausreicht, um echte Angst oder Spannung zu erzeugen. Es fehlt an visuellen Elementen, die das Horrorerlebnis verstärken könnten. Gameplay und Steuerung: Das Gameplay ist größtenteils in Ordnung, aber es bringt nichts wirklich Neues oder Innovatives mit sich. Die Steuerung funktioniert gut und ist intuitiv, doch das Spielgeschehen wirkt oft monoton und wiederholt sich schnell. Die Rätsel sind durchschnittlich und bieten keine große Herausforderung. Horror-Elemente: Hier liegt der größte Schwachpunkt von Beyond the Evil. Trotz der Bemühungen, eine gruselige Stimmung zu erzeugen, schaffen es die Horror-Elemente nicht, echte Furcht zu vermitteln. Es gibt zwar einige Jumpscares und düstere Momente, aber diese reichen nicht aus, um eine anhaltende Spannung oder Schrecken zu erzeugen. Nach 1,5 Stunden Spielzeit habe ich mich kein einziges Mal wirklich gegruselt. Sound und Musik: Die Soundkulisse ist akzeptabel, aber auch hier fehlt es an Intensität. Die Hintergrundmusik und Soundeffekte tragen zur Atmosphäre bei, könnten aber deutlich furchterregender und stimmungsvoller gestaltet sein, um das Horrorerlebnis zu verstärken. Fazit: Beyond the Evil ist ein durchschnittliches Horrorspiel, das seine Versprechen nicht ganz einlösen kann. Die Grafik und die Steuerung sind solide, aber das Gameplay und die Horror-Elemente lassen zu wünschen übrig. Wer nach einem wirklich gruseligen Erlebnis sucht, wird hier wahrscheinlich enttäuscht. Für zwischendurch ist das Spiel okay, aber es gibt definitiv bessere Alternativen im Horrorgenre. Pro: Solide Grafik Intuitive Steuerung Dichte Atmosphäre Kontra: Fehlender Gruselfaktor Monotones Gameplay Durchschnittliche Rätsel Schwache Soundkulisse Insgesamt würde ich Beyond the Evil nur eingeschränkt empfehlen. Es bietet ein okayes Spielerlebnis, aber der erhoffte Horror bleibt aus.

B.t.E. is a walking horror sim, complete with the walking horror sim tropes. To be honest, I didn't understand much of how the history unfolds and why does the character decides to investigate what he does, but I guess that doesn't matter much. Gameplay wise you search for keys, basically everywhere and in everything... Graphics wise I noticed some heavy FPS drops and controller bugs, mainly when you have to press to open a door or interact with a switch, the game freezes until you press either START or Inventory. I couldn't recommend it due to how badly optimised it is, but certainly it will look and play better after a few patches.

[b]Visão geral[/b]: O jogo apresenta uma proposta interessante, terror psicológico baseado em em puzzles. Em resumo, a gameplay tem uma pegada estilo: "ache a chave, abra a porta, resolva um puzzle", a partir dessa mecânica a jogabilidade vai se desenvolvendo. [b]Sobre a história[/b] : Seu personagem é um investigador ( na verdade nãos ei se ele é, mas a gameplay é como se você fosse, você junta provas e investiga). A historia se passa em ambientes diferentes, mas semelhantes, boa parte do jogo estamos dentro de alguma residência. Conforme seu personagem vai juntando as pistas e resolvendo alguns puzzles, você vai "mudando" de mapa. É como se eu zerasse todas as provas de determinada casa, ao final,as provas me indicam que devo ir para o endereço X, no endereço X a mecânica se repete. [b]Sobre pontos negativos[/b] : Para mim o ponto negativo que me causou uma certa indignação foi o fato de haverem muitas paredes invisíveis, mas eu ser capaz de atravessar o mato e eu ter q "adivinhar" que ali atrás tem uma passagem... eu queria gritar serio kkkkkk mas isso em nada influenciou na minha opinião pelo jogo. Logo no início tem uma estrada e uma parede invisível, acho que poderia ter uma cerca ou o personagem dizer algo do tipo: "não devo ir agora, acho melhor investigar a casa antes". Sei que as vezes fazer determinada coisa é mais difícil do que nós players imaginamos e por isso acho esse tipo de coisa totalmente relevante. [b]Sobre os gráficos[/b] : Achei o gráfico muito bonito, o suficiente pra criar a atmosférica de terror necessária. [b]Sobre os jump scares[/b] : Não houveram jumpscares. Fico feliz por isso kkkk odeio jogo que te joga coisas na cara do nada só pra te dar um susto. Prefiro o medo gerado pelo som, ambientação e terror psicológico. [b]Sobre os puzzles [/b]: Os puzzles são fáceis em sua maioria, com mecânicas semelhantes. Fiquei mil anos no puzzle das lápides, mas consegui resolver todos. Gostei bastante. [b]Opinião final[/b] : Eu gostei bastante do jogo, acho que vale a pena conhecer.

Beyond The Evil is no triple A game, it is a simple puzzle game that is interesting. While I am only on the first chapter and stuck, I'm still think it is worth the time and effort. Yes the game has some funny comments, and voice overs. Not to mention the vocabulary choices, but that still does not mean it is terrible. In-fact the game has decent graphics, sounds, and runs well over all. Which is more then most can say, with all of the crap being sold these days. My only grip with this game is I expected more fright due to the title itself. But over all I think this isn't a bad puzzle novel styled game. Enjoy Blockhead APPROVED!!!

Game é sensacional! Game BRASILEIRO top demais, tem uma pegada de suspense sempre, vários jumpscare e a história se desenvolve bem ao longo do jogo. Gráficos legais, jogabilidade tranquila, trilha sonora bacana e os puzzles do jogo são bem trabalhados e difíceis, se você não prestar atenção nos detalhes certamente ficará preso em alguma parte do game hehehe. A única crítica do jogo é só porque um detetive não tem uma lanterna...?? Agradeço demais aos Devs por terem me dado a oportunidade de apreciar o game e trazer ele pro meu público, sempre será um prazer prestigiar games nacionais e ajudar a fomentar cada vez mais a industria de games BRASILEIROS!! Sucesso demais nos próximos projetos e um ABRAÇÃO pra toda equipe envolvida!! Aos curiosos está saindo a história completa no canal: https://youtu.be/yVmdD2s1KU4?si=8wJFYRLvriSv-yMI

Price is very reasonable for the experience. I had fun with this game and enjoyed the puzzles. Perhaps, it could use a more variety of puzzle rather than finding keys and opening doors and boxes with a code, but this looks like a first project, so it gets a pass. Not any jump scares, but I enjoyed the mood change in atmosphere from daytime to night. Who doesn't like beautiful, sunny woods? In just the same way, spooky woods as well :) The developer is very responsive and polite. I can tell that they care about the project they put out. This is reassuring for a first release. I hope they continue on with more games!

Beyond the Evil is a captivating exploration game, masterfully layered with psychological elements. Set against a backdrop of impending global doom, the player embarks on an immersive quest to unravel the mystery of a supposed plague. Far from your usual horror game, it offers an enriching journey through meticulously crafted environments, where every detail feeds into the larger narrative. The game excels in creating a tense, eerie ambiance that complements the intellectual challenge of its world. It's an intriguing fusion of exploration and suspense that leaves you on the edge of your seat. Beyond the Evil is a testament to the power of interactive storytelling, making it an unforgettable experience in the realm of exploration games

Pra quem ama jogos nesse estilo, é um prato cheio, porém o jogo é curto.

DISREGARD the negative reviews....they are not accurate and all of the negative reviewers spent less than 2.6 hours playing this game. I just started Chapter 4 out of 5 Chapters total and have been playing for 3.5 hours. Because one does not like the game is not reason to NOT Recommend...so tired of people in this category. Not recommending a game is based on other factors not one's personal likes/dislikes! Steam needs to change their review format. THIS is a fun game with a good story and good puzzles.....and the graphics and game play are well done. I have not encountered any issues nor any bugs or drop in FPS. It is a horror game and you are on a case trying to determine what happened. The story is intriguing with a bunch of secrets revealed as you progress. Well worth 12.99. If U like suspense and mystery you will like playing this game.
