Very nostalgic of my early years of PC gaming, reminiscent of old Sierra and Macventure games. You don't really do much but click the mouse, and it's not really scary or anything. But if you're an old gamer like myself, you'll be drawn in by the classic pixel art, descriptive text and puzzles.
Don't ask and tell because you got to play it without knowing the true dark fear of the horror flash game from the 2000s.
I went in with low expectations and was very pleasantly surprised. This is a really solid horror pnc rpg with some jumpscares. Very king's quest inspired. Well worth at the normal price or sale price
All the fun of old school point and clicks with modern quality of life improvements, streamlined game play and solid level and puzzle design. I only got stumped hard once, the rest of the times I paused to figure things out it hit just the right sweet spot of knowing what to do and thinking it through. There's a bit of grinding to get the best crafting supplies while hunting, but it's nothing too bad at all and won't take long. Tonally it walks the line between maintaining a creepy atmosphere with a couple great jump scares - but it's balanced by the Turner Horror movie roster of villains and never gets too intense. Highly recommend for those who are into this kinda thing. And a great gateway for players new to the genre.

I have mixed feelings on this one. On the upshot, it's an okay horror game (though "horror" in this case is a dark atmosphere combined with the occasional very telegraphed jump scare with a ear splitting scream) and the combat is okay, if boring. The art is usually decent (though there's a serious mishmash of styles on the hunting UI), and the music is mostly good and you usually don't need to stay in one place for long so even the mediocre tracks don't overstay their welcome. On the downside, it's about 15 minutes long with everything else being tedious makework and grinding. The fishing minigame isn't too bad, and it's completely optional. The hunting minigame is okay at first, but it's mandatory and you will hate it by the end of the game. There is no reason to have it other than inflating the play time so that people can't ask for a refund. It's so insultingly transparent that it inspired me to not recommend the game. It's just that tedious, especially since most of it is either waiting for the 'searching' message to disappear or clicking past the animals you don't need so that you can hunt the ones you actually have to catch. Everything about it drags an okay game down into being a terrible experience. There are also some puzzles, but they're all grade school level stuff that you can easily do without any trouble. It says to write down notes, but that's just to jot down a couple of combination codes and solve a singular math problem. This should have been the part used to inflate the playtime, because I was set up for some proper puzzles. Finally, there's the end of game plot twist. I'm not going to spoil it, but it's very disappointing that it wasn't followed up by a boss fight. The game just kind of...ends. And then it tells you that you suck because you missed some achievements. Yeah, I'm not playing through that horrible hunting minigame again just to get those. Screw you, game.
Short fun game that really helped scratch an itch in my mind. A case of completing quests in this haunting valley, fighting monsters, upgrading your equipment, and mostly story based with some good old fashioned puzzle solving and inventory puzzles. Just nice to open a game, engage in a whole new world, trying to make your way through, learn its rules, succeed and complete your quest.

I had this game on my old Moto G, and it was my fav thing but not able to finish it. When i saw this game on Steam. I thought i should finish what i have started years ago. Art style is old school but really complement the game. Battles are turn based still keeps you on edge. Really loved the battle system. Story, Environment and set pieces are again very well thought. Arif bhai if you are still working on something please let us know. We need more games from you. *works great on Steam Deck, just change controls to mouse only.*
So far I'm really enjoying the art and the atmosphere in this game. The sound is also very good and ambient. It does what its suppose to do. Present a dark and creepy rpg adventure but with some king quest style puzzles and choices. Its also simple yet not basic, easy to figure out with enough trial and error. Feels a lot like some of the creepier titles from the NES era like friday the 13th or festers quest. Only actually good, not that those games were bad for their time, but they were kinda bad. I guess a better example would be splatterhouse. About the only negative is it don't support full 1080 resolution, least not to my knowledge. I would like to get this to fit my screen. But its a minor gripe the game is still worth it for all other areas.
