About
DON'T WATCH is a first-person psychological horror game from the intricate BrokenLore series.
Shinji is a young hikikomori, trapped inside his small Tokyo apartment. With unpaid rent, mounting bills, and a family that doesn’t understand him, he feels isolated from the world—and from himself.
His only escape is video games, but even that can’t ease the crushing weight of his anxiety.
You’ll explore Shinji’s mind as it unravels, but be cautious. Hyakume, a malevolent entity with a hundred eyes, is watching, waiting for the right moment to strike.
Your PC is the only link to the outside world. But even there, safety is an illusion…

Absolut Hammer Spiel!!! Dauert auch nicht lange. Leider erfahren wir nicht, ob der Typ anfängt anders zu leben oder nicht.
짧고 굵다... 눈알이 징그러워여 징그러운 거 빼고 할만 함 잼미따

Ну норм хоррор на вечерок, но ничего особенного и запоминающегося выделить не могу [b]7.5/10[/b]
It's OK. It's getting there in terms of atmosphere but there are certain aspects to the mechanics and story writing that just left me wanting more. In the apartment building hallways in particular, you can get body-blocked by a slowly spawning entity so you get insta-killed the first time and then it becomes predictable and bland all other times after that. Really took the spook out of all the chase scenes. I also would have really liked more to do on the computer during the exposition, like poking around some chat history and finding out more about Hideo and JUnko and how they met when they're all living as shut-ins now, Junko mentioned a recovery centre and then it was never expanded on ever again. It explores the concept of hikkikomori in general pretty well but I really feel like we didn't learn enough about Shinji as an individual to make the story ending satisfying.
Como minha placa gráfica é um pouco mais antiga, o game crasheou no início, sendo necessário eu adicionar o parâmetro -D11 a seu executável para que funcionasse. De toda forma, não sei se vinculada ou não a essa questão, toda vez que entrava no game, tinha que reconfigurar o idioma, áudio e configurações gráficas. Um pouco chato, mas não um problema enorme em si. Quanto ao jogo, ele é curto, porém, honesto em seu proposta. Poucos jumpscares - os dois que tive foi porque me distraí, rs - , o que até prefiro, pois gosto do clima de terror, não ficar pulando de susto forçado. Pra mim, o ponto alto do game é quando ele se pixeliza e o nosso personagem entra em uma floresta estilizada, seguida por uma trilha sonora retirada diretamente dos filmes de suspense e terror dos anos 80. A floresta passa uma impressão de pesadelo, o que é bem legal. Enfim, o final, não muito expositivo, pode não agradar a todos. Ah, peguei-o em uma promoção! Não acho que gostaria de pagar muito por ele ser tão curto Nota: 7.5/10
I play lots of horror games and (as you'd imagine) not all of them are good. this one however honestly surprised me. its not groundbreaking, no. but its simple, original and enjoyable. I finished it in one sitting. highly recommend.
깔끔하게 즐기기 좋은 공포 게임이었습니다 연출도 좋았습니다.
Finally a creative indie horror game thats not the standard thrown together slop relying on jump scares. Game runs great and had me hooked from the start. Gonna start playing through their catalog now. Great job devs and other game people!
[h1]約1時間で初見クリア![/h1]サクッとできてややおすすめ [h1]ホラー演出[/h1] そこそこです。ぶっちゃけそこまで怖くないかな?ストアページでも目玉が特徴的で結構怖いのかな?と想像してましたが適度に楽しめます。 もっとドアスコープや目玉(見られていることに対する恐怖)を生かしてほしい [h1]グラフィック[/h1] なんかカクカクしてる…?けど映像自体はかなり綺麗! 目玉も綺麗に見えます…が! 途中からそのきれいなグラフィックを捨ててポリゴン数が減ったような別ステージに移動されます。 正直、これはこれでかなり好きなのですが意図がまったく読めません。作者のやりたいことを無理やり入れた感じ。 [h1]ストーリー[/h1] まったくわからない!雰囲気とノリでやりましょう! [h1]他エンド[/h1] 実績をみれば他エンドがあることがわかるので書いちゃいますが、これを見たうえで全くストーリーがわからない!この作者の別ゲーをやっていれば何か共通していることやわかることがあるのか…? 別エンドはのやり方はyoutubeなど調べれば出てくるのでがんばろう!
