Пойдёт,игра на 5 из 10 и то с натяжкой. Разработчик дал её бесплатно на обзор ещё месяца три назад,только сейчас добрался. Надеюсь будет рост над собой и хотя бы больше 2-ух часов геймплея,на крайний случай советую подсмотреть у других инди разработчиков по типу Эмики геймс или Эболы.
I unfortunately can not recommend this game. You are moving at snail speed through a big and quite empty house, which gets rid of tension and just makes it tedious to get from A to B. You occasionally collect a key, just to have to find another key. There are a few notes, but the story is overall confusing.
Для одного из первых проектов игру довольно хорошая. Геймплей малость непонятен. Хорошая работа с лицевой анимацией. Приятный визуал. Чувствительность и звук можно менять только в меню, что немного странно.
Я давно так не пугался)))) Приятная графика и отличная атмосфера. С удовольствием поиграю законченную историю. Тут мой обзор: https://youtu.be/wl4xEroo5mw
I wish I could recommend this game. I really enjoyed the idea of a new year style horror game. However, the back and forth aspect was kind of boring. The graphics were great. The jump scares were really not that scary. Also the fact the game suddenly ends. I have tried thinking I missed something to get various endings but nothing. The achievement for finishing the game never went off which leaves me very confused. I made a play through over on my Youtube channel for anyone interested in watching a no commentary play through. As always, every gamer plays differently. Please consider supporting the dev's and purchasing the game. https://youtu.be/0BgI6OuBBlQ My review of the game: https://www.patreon.com/posts/cursed-new-year-147759070
Let me start off by saying that the game looks good. I like the graphics and the gameplay mechanics. I'm not one of those crazy heads who require rich details or puzzles at every step. But the problem is that the writer or the developer of the game seems confused. Most of the story and ending does not make any sense, maybe it does in russian but not in english. So, if you could improve the story and add more details for character development, then that'd be great. Rest everything is good.
