Creepy Shift: Roadside Diner

Fun scare game, but sadly going to have to not recommend it because the check points are far too few and far between. I put boxes and cans up 3 times before I was like, I can't do this anymore. If state was saved more often I'd highly recommend it, but only play if you don't mind repeating yourself over and over if you aren't able to follow the rules and die.

I played the other Creepy Shift games, Hotel and House. (This one) Diner has some design flaws that made the game frustrating and too hard and I quit after 2 hours. The Jukebox mechanic is good, but wasn't a good fit for the map. *SPOILER START* In the 2nd half of the game the Jukebox spawns somewhere that's really hard to find and you don't have enough time to get to it and the you have no audio clues to its direction and it interferes with the ghost chase mechanic. If you don't know if the Jukebox activated or the ghost is coming and if you decide to hide to you lose and you loose cleaning progress. *SPOILER END* After 5 attempts I quit, but I can see a great game in the core of it. The story sounds good and the game progression and discovery is beautifully designed. The layout is needs work. The mechanics are good and maybe this needed a little more polish or testing. I would still recommend this game, as it could be a skill issue with me or maybe a bug on my install, who knows.

I'm not new to games -- at all. I'm pretty clever and I've spent 7 hours on this game; total. I've died 8 times. It does not allow you to get past a certain part. I don't like this one. I prefer Uncle Joe's Motel. It was actually beatable and it followed its own rules, whereas this one seems to not follow its own rules. It just doesn't make sense to me that you cannot "hide" when that feature is made available to you and the items you need to find are impossible as they move to separate places and they made the map so big that it's near-impossible...actually, it IS impossible, to get to them in time. I wish I could give a better review. I actually really liked this game. I liked the others as well. This one is just -- IMPOSSIBLE.

Creepy Shift is a game that mixes relaxing gameplay of working in a restaurant with horror elements. There are 3 chapters where the start is gentle until the heat builds up into overdrive by the end. The game is excellent with the atmosphere and small attention to detail. While the story is neither the highlight nor original, it is pretty well presented and it ends on a satisfying note. The sound effects also add to the strengths of the game, it’s especially impressive how you can tell what’s happening or what’s missing based on sounds alone. The game does have one big problem that can make or break it depending on who you ask. You can die, your progress resets with every chapter. This can easily occur in chapter 3, it became unenjoyable when I died 6 times there and sometimes the game feels bugged when it happens. I’ve had the music playing, the candle getting removed and getting chased start all at the same time. There is no way of surviving that. I became so frustrated and annoyed at the game, wishing I didn’t buy it for a while. I didn’t encounter this again when I completed the game a second time which is why I think it might be bugged. Creepy Shift feels like it tried to do something different and it found success. It can definitely be considered a good game but it’s a very bad first game that can easily scare off a group of people. I’ve read that the sequels are much better, though I’m not sure it’s related to balance and dying less. It might be better to play those first and then play this one if you want more, unless you don’t mind dying and redoing chapters often. It took me 4 hours to get all the achievements with 2 runs and partially a third run for clean up. The achievements can be pretty specific but a lot can be gotten naturally and the rest are not too difficult. Just beware that some don’t work through chapter select.

My second venture into the Creepy Shift games. Loved motel and love this too. Great graphics ,gameplay and sound and really enjoy the stories behind them.

another fun addition to the creepy shift games. a bit tedious with certain parts (the candle guy) but still creepy and fun to play.
