"Blood of a Demon" is a simple first person "escape room" adventure game with a bunch of (probably) flipped assets and some simple gameplay, but overall very little interest as a serious game. And what's with the lighting? Yes, you can make things dark in Unreal... that doesn't mean it's a good idea. Overall, the weirdly-too-dark thing the game has going on makes it pretty annoying to try to play.
There's a gimmick where there's a demon that is set to hinder you, but you can't see it or hear it, you have to use a little "Radar" to see it. Not sure that demons and other supernatural entities are reflective to radar. I guess you need to suspend belief for that to work.
The graphics in this game are passable (apart from the fail lighting), but could be better. And while it's vital for any game to have impressive visuals (gaming is a visual medium, after all), there's more to a game than just the graphics. To be worth a gamers time, the game must match top tier visuals with top tier gameplay, and that's not happening here.
Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game.
Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable.
Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 3 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away.
Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it?
Not this time. This isn't worth downloading. While this won't cost you any money, you get what you pay for, and sometimes, even when the game is free, it's still not enough.
