Это определённо лучший или один из лучших инди-хорроров. Не выглядит как какая-то кривая поделка. Выжимает атмосферностью и величием особняка. Своя история присутствует, в ней есть смысл и некоторая глубина, а не просто "в этом доме зло и точка". Любителям хорроров must have, на мой взгляд.
Good game. Some scares got me pretty good. Eerie, creepy vibes throughout the whole game. Puzzles aren't too difficult, but some of the hints could use some tweaks I think. The English translation needs a lot of work. It's all understandable, but translation errors make for some pretty hilarious tidbits all throughout the game. For me, it was part of the charm.
Listen guys! Before I begin, let me tell you that I really do not enjoy giving games the Thumbs Down treatment - Especially when said game barely has a price tag. But [b]Chance at Life[/b] is such a pile of averageness and shortcomings that I cannot ignore the flaws just because it looks decent. I have seen enough to be able to tell people to save their time and avoid this. Let me elaborate. [b]Chance at Life[/b] is an aimless Walking Simulator that throws you pretty much into cold water. But there is no water and you smack your head on the dry ground before they flood the pool with one cheap jump scare after another and drown you with their bare hands until you forget where you came from - or what your name was. I found myself more annoyed on edge waiting for the next jump scare rather than any sort of eeriness/horror of the setting since they were overly frequent. The graphics, music and soundscape are okay, no complaints there. So, I don't hold my breath for the story aspect of these games. I play them for the jump scares. Does [b]Chance at Life[/b] have jump scares? YES. As soon as you enter the manor, you will encounter one random ghost running from A to B after another. Sometimes they feel risky and run at you instead - or away from you. Occasionally even the ghosts get bored and start humming. Or talk to you, not realizing that you in fact are mute, same goes for the pal you end up controlling after each finished chapter. It was a very abrupt end, almost like it was rushed out of the door. Which is exactly what the games asks you to do. You just suddenly get told to run with a 3-minute-countdown and blindly choose one of three keys opening one of three exits - The End. [u]Pros[/u] + Surprisingly beautiful environmental visuals + Easy on the pocketbook [u]Cons[/u] - Half baked and unoriginal plot - Hilariously bad English translations - Lackluster sudden race-to-the-exit ending - Surprise, you have to do it twice - Jumpscares are cheap and repetitive - No real pacing or setting of horror or atmospheric buildup I would not call myself an overly critical gamer. I can appreciate all kinds of low budget games respecting the effort for trying and I don't want to be unnecessarily mean. BUT, I would not even recommend this game if it was free since I simply do not find it worth playing. 2/10 The fact that I, as a big fan of jump scares, am warning you of these unscrupulous childish cheap shots which get old very quickly, says a lot.
Not sure why there's positive reviews. This game is straight up ass lol Game throws an astronomical amount of "jump scares" at you that arent even remotely scary. Or throws loud noises every 2 seconds which becomes more annoying than anything. The story is, ok at best. But it's not great. Graphics are surprisingly nice. And i guess at its price it's not the worst game in the world. But i can't sit here and lie. Some reviews call this a "hidden gem". Absolutely not....Plain and simple this game is ass. There's no shot this gets an 8.5/10. Those people need to go play actually good horror titles. 4/10
Игра по началу давала мне надежду на то, что она неплохая и сделана не плохо, но потом началось: - Долбишься в скрипты, которые работают криво и легко ломаются, а может и вообще не работают. - Скримеров тут настолько много что перестаешь их бояться, а так быть не должно! Залог правильного хоррора - это своевременные скримеры, когда ты расслаблен/отвлечен и тебе в лицо как долбанут скример, что ты потом отходишь от него ещё некоторое время. Тут же они на каждом углу, 1 - 3 скримера может испугаешься, на остальные тебе будет плевать. - Игра кстати полностью принуждает играть тебя по её правилам, не предусматривает даже то, что игрок может думать по-другому и идти в другом порядке. Что это значит? А то, что если вы выполните действие не в правильном порядке, к примеру сначала возьмете ключ, а потом прочитаете записку, то игра поломается и вам чтобы продолжить, нужно будет её перезапустить. - Боже... эти долбанные прятки... Вы будете несколько часов искать, куда вам нажать, где найти предмет и куда его применить. НО! Можете списать этот пункт, на мою невнимательность. Далее осторожно, будет спойлер! - О да! Концовки тут сделаны на "ВЫСШЕМ УРОВНЕ" Вам дадут такое мини "казино" в конце, где вы должны выбрать на рандом, повезет - убежите, не повезет если... - ну значит гача игры не для вас) Вообщем, мне даже и 100 рублей эти было жалко отдавать за это.
Норм хоррор, с головоломками..
The entire house in this game is re-used from another Russian game called "Blackberry" - by a different dev. That being said, this [recycled] environment is really well done, and I rather enjoyed stumbling around this house again. But, a really good [recycled] environment is all this game has going for it. The rest is a very generic story with really badly translated text. If you don't mind the template development and you have a good sense of humor for silly translations, then this game is not bad for its price. Otherwise, I don't recommend it - Blackberry is better, if you like the house setting.
I rarely write reviews, especially the bad ones, but here it is. This is a game from the same developer as Emika Games horror titles (at least, the name of the developer checks out), but this one is excruciatingly bad. It's weird to see such a poor game from a decent developer. The visuals are fine, but many indie horrors have fine graphics, it's not hard with modern game engines. It's badly optimized, I couldn't get more than 30 FPS (mostly less) on ultra settings on i7 and RTX 3050. Lowering the settings didn't help. The jumpscares are awful and look like they're from a cheap horror movie. The main character moves really slow. Even slower when you have 20 FPS. Even though it's a common issue in games from Emika, here the English localization is really awful. It starts with the language selection screen which offers: "Russia" and "English", what? All in all, the game looks like a very cheap and hasty version of Emika horrors with bad optimization. Also, I got semi-stuck in the very beginning with the paintings, but to proceed further would be a torture for my eyes. It's not the game I'm prepared to play with 20-30 FPS. I would even refund it if it wasn't so cheap and not worth the hustle. I thought I would complete all Emika Games horrors, but it's no longer the case.
I'm nit picking here but there is a few texture pop ins but you soon stop seeing them, this game is very very nice to play so far, very nice frame rate which i always look for first in a game, super creepy with some brilliant jump scares, lets carry on!! I'm on Chapter 2 and LOVING IT!! It's good to play these types of games again!
[h1]Полностью не рекомендую к покупке, даже по скидке.[/h1][list][*]Не совершайте ошибку как я, не покупайте, эту помойку.[*]Если вы увидели где то эту игру и восхитились, то играя в нее вы будете полностью разочарованы[*]Во-первых эта игра полностью не оптимизированный кусок говна, с просадками до 10 фпс на очень мощном железе.[*]Во-вторых ужасные скриптовые элементы и неясность прохождения данного творения[*]Ты тупо бродишь по всем закаулкам в поисках записок ( которые сделаны с таким же интерфейсом как во многих подобных трешовых играх на ютубе )[*]Атмосфера может и пугающая, но тут тебя прям стараются пугать, лишь бы было ощущение что это хоррор.[*]Хотя больше всего пугает как разгоняется комп играя в это нечто ( будто сжирает все ресурсы )[*]Большая часть геймплея это ожидание пока тебе разблокируют камеру, чтоб ты наконец то мог двигаться и смотреть вокруг.[*]Очень странно, что многие отзывы положительные.. как будто тупая накрутка и покупка обзоров у блогеров, но это было бы не удивительно.
