Clown Camp

good game. Buy it

Great

Just buy it! A great nostalgic game with an enjoyable story and several hours of play time.

Clown Camp was exactly the kind of retro survival horror game I was hoping for. The PS1-inspired visuals and creepy summer camp setting create a fantastic atmosphere, and the killer clowns are genuinely unsettling without feeling too silly. I really enjoyed the exploration, resource management, and the steady sense of tension throughout the game. It captures the feel of classic survival horror while still feeling approachable and modern. If you're a fan of old-school horror games, this one is definitely worth checking out.

Haven't finished the game yet but so far feels very polished. Love the PSX-style graphics, cool spooky retro vibe. There's a lot of settings, including one that lets you turn off the limited stamina. I find that setting a blessing as the maps are quite large and can take a while to traverse from one side of the Camp to another. There's also a lovely setting that lets you bypass the video cassette save system and have access to unlimited saves. At first I found the clowns stressful and a little frightening, but once I worked out a decent fighting strategy it seemed to work for all the clowns I've encountered, making the fights seem a bit trivial. The maps you find are very helpful -- the color of the room on the map lets you know if you've cleared all items from that room yet, or if there's any items remaining. Considering the number of areas and buildings in the camp, this is a wonderful quality of life feature so you aren't wasting time re-checking areas you've already cleared. I've been enjoying unlocking and exploring each building, and wondering what type of clown is gonna pop out as I look for items and clues. I find each cabin to be charming in design.

An absolute joy to play! There was some jank when I first played it but looking at all the recent updates it seems like most of it has been fixed so big kudos to the Devs! Ambience is pretty spooky, PSX graphics are spot on in my opinion and all of the items and upgrades you get are pretty fun! I didn't expect the story to be as good (and at times pretty funny!) as it is to be honest but I very much enjoyed it and can't wait for the sequel It's on the short side if you go straight to the finish line, but you can easily get 8 hours out of it if you go for 100%. Highly recommend if you're looking for a short but very sweet Indie Horror Gem!

I loved the aesthetic. I loved the idea for the story and in in what notes I could find, the story itself. I found it really frustrating that the start of the game gives you unlimited stamina only to take it away when an enemy shows up. From that point, you spend more of the game staring at the top left hand corner of the screen, ensuring your stamina never drops too low. I collected the oar, which is supposed to be a good weapon. Yet after 5 swings, the enemy did not die or stop. So essentially, there is no point to combat. My final gripe. WHERE DO I SAVE? Truly, I hope I did not miss it, but the death screen says to find a tape recorder to save. I could not find one, and died multiple times trying to save progress. I would be willing to stick with the game, even if I died many times. But the fact most of the gameplay is not explained an expected to figure out over multiple starting deaths is frustrating. I will probably return to the game, but overall disappointed. EDIT: Per the dev's comments I did just miss it. The note at the beginning does mention the tent, but getting up there made it look like it was just a prop and inaccessible. Regardless I am changing my review to positive since it was on me, and I will come back to this at some point again.

its really fun i like the atmosphere this game deserves more love and attention
