Carnival Massacre

It was good, 7/10. Nothing too crazy but it reminded me of Alisa & Silent Hill :)

[h1][b]Carnival Massacre[/b][/h1] [b]Genre:[/b] Horror / Survival [b]Perspective:[/b] 3rd Person (Fixed Camera-Angles) [b]My Rating:[/b]⭐⭐⭐🔹🔹 💙Summary (TLDR): [i]It might be a very short game but I enjoyed my time with it as I love the nostalgic tank-controls and fixed camera-angles! It clearly seems inspired by the old classics like Resident Evil and Silent Hill but I found that to be a positive thing kinda like a love-letter.[/i] [h3][b]The Positives[/b][/h3] [list][*]This game captured the style and atmosphere of old classic survival horror games of the 90s quite well, especially with the classic fixed camera-angles and intentional oldfashioned PS1-graphics as well as the controls - you can chose between tank and modern mode, however the tanky ones are better and smoother due to the fixed camera views! [*]I enjoyed the musical tunes and melodies chosen for the different scenarios, especially the cart-sequence! [*]The game offers saving, storage and shopping for resources through a puppet - one of those sitting in a glasscube that we know from classic circuses and carnevals. It fit the theme and didn't feel out of place. Both saving and shopping uses coins which we get from defeating enemies so the game also has a slight learning curve of what to buy and when. [*]I loved the enemy-designs reminding me on Alice in Wonderland! [/list] [h3][b]The “Not So Goods”[/b][/h3] [list][*]This game has a good foundation of a story but sadly I felt myself craving for just a little bit more of an explanation of the events and ending? I guess this game stuck to the horror genre's tradition of leaving too much unanswered and obscure. [/list]

It's like 60% Classic Resident Evil, 35% Silent Hill, and 5% Fatal Frame. Honestly really good for the price! I especially like the enemy designs, feeling very much Silent Hill inspired imo. Charming with fun gameplay, but I do have some criticisms. First, the game is way too easy. Particularly the bosses and especially the final boss. Now to be fair, this is kind of true of the classic RE games as well (until 3) so I can't hold it against this game too much. I would like the ability to play again with a harder mode where the normal enemies are a bit faster and tougher and I feel that would add a lot of replay value. Second, I wish you could rebind controls so you could use left control for aiming and F for shooting like in RE2+3. Lastly I also would have loved to see a little bonus mode when you finish the game, like a randomizer mode or something like the dungeon or horde mode in Nightmare Of Decay. Other than those few things (with the difficulty being the only real complaint) I think it is great for the price.

Carnival Massacre feels like a wild ride from start to finish—a clear love letter to the old-school survival horror era. Right away, the game sets the tone with its presentation. Some of the cinematic moments and level design strongly remind me of Silent Hill, while the gameplay itself leans more toward Resident Evil. It’s a familiar blend, but it works well enough to create a tense and nostalgic atmosphere. The story isn’t anything too complex, but it doesn’t really need to be. The opening, presented as a missing person news report, is actually a smart way to set things up. It gives just enough context to pull you in without overcomplicating things. Puzzle sections are another highlight. They’re engaging and give you that classic survival horror feel—just enough challenge to keep you thinking without slowing the pace too much. That said, the game does have some rough edges. The fixed camera angles can be quite frustrating at times, especially when they obscure your view. There are also a few “dead zones” in certain areas where your character moves into the scene but the model isn’t visible at all, which breaks immersion. The second half of the game feels noticeably rushed. For example, the ice rink segment where you fight the firecracker boss doesn’t really feel meaningful or well-integrated into the overall experience. It’s also a bit of a missed opportunity that the game doesn’t fully utilize the carnival setting. There’s a lot of potential with the different attractions and mini-games, but most of it isn’t explored as much as it could have been. Overall, Carnival Massacre is a decent short survival horror experience. It’s not perfect, but if you enjoy the classic style, it’s still a fun ride while it lasts.

Good game i love it

For an Indie Survival Horror it left me entertained each step through, especially it's mechanics

A solid retro survival horror game with a couple of impressive set pieces. Short, but I feel it's worth the price (especially if you plan to run it more than once to improve your rating). The music changing as you take damage is a nice detail.

A great classic styled horror game, I really liked the sound track. Environments are wonderfully designed, fun to play and enjoyable to progress through! MR PEBBLES NUKED MY PC!!!! (Crashed everything while streaming)

I've only played for 20 minutes and I was very impressed by this game. They clearly have a passion for the old school genre of horror, many inspirations from games by Capcom and Konami. The story is very interesting and it has an eerie theme to it being in a carnival like theme park with a bunch of Alice in Wonderland like murderous girls. Hoping more games are made that are similar to this one, because low key it's kind of fun to just be packin and dusting off all the bunny villains with whatever sharp object they're holding, haha.
