BURIED BELOW

Worth a playthrough very fun story.

多结局真有吸引力吧！结尾音乐和剪辑也是惊喜

To put it simply, Buried Below is creative from beginning to end. Even the main menu conveys this right away. There's a lot of charm to discover in your 2-3 hour playtime; from little easter eggs to bits of humor from the devs. Every line of dialogue and every step you take in this story is a showcase of a collaborative effort from a team of individuals who were truly passionate about what they were working on. By far my favorite part of this game was not so much in what I saw, but what I heard instead. The music was excellent and enriching. And while this wasn't the scariest game I've played, it definitely was one of the scariest ones I've heard. Without getting into spoiler territory, the final act of the game has some absolutely terrifying sound design. Which leads me to my one complaint about the game... I wanted more from that final act. Now lets get a little bit into the spoiler territory, the final act involves a series of cat and mouse chase sequences; running and hiding from a lurking threat. While visually the creature wasn't the most frightening, hearing it before I saw it sent chills down my spine. It's something you just have to hear for yourself to understand fully, but because it was so effective it made me wish for more of a build up before the "cat and mouse" section. The reveal happened to quickly. I believe with an additional 15-20 minutes of gameplay of hearing, but not seeing the threat, the feeling of being stalked, allowing my own mind to spiral with curiosity and dread, the reveal could have hit a bit harder. Instead we're kinda thrown into the final part, we hear it, then we see it, and the tension is quickly relieved. Still, I had a blast with this one, mainly because there was passion in the project and that was easy to see. No AI, no asset flips, just a team of people wanting to make something good. And you know what? It's pretty damn good.
