Honestly, I didn't expect to play a good game. But it turns out my intuition was wrong. The game's got around 10 to 15 minutes of gameplay. But the chances are quite high for you to be jumpscared a bit. The graphics are really good, too.

Maybe more rooms as well where the chase scene can continue throughout several rooms. Perhaps towards the end, set up some more things to trick the player into turning around ie. have someone chase you from the front instead of behind.

Liebe Horrorgame Community, nach dem großen Erfolg von "The Exit 8", kommt nun Dead End und mit großer Vorfreude und Begeisterung habe ich das Spiel gerade in meinem Livestream vollendet. Zum bedauern muss ich sagen, bin ich sehr enttäuscht! Wie die Jugend zu sagen pflegen würde: das Gamekonzept ist "tot", man muss nur gerade auslaufen. Ich habe vielleicht die ersten 7 Minuten überlegen müssen wie das Spiel funktioniert, da ich durch "The Exit 8" davon ausgegangen bin, man müsse nur Unterschiede feststellen um weiterzukommen. Aber das man im Endeffekt in 12 von 14 Gängen einfach nur gerade aus laufen muss, macht das gesamte Game ziemlich langweilig und somit auch sehr schnell absolvierbar. Ich habe nur 14 Minuten gebraucht was für ein Videospiel dieser Art eine bedauerliche Frechheit! 3/10 Punkten
Soooooooooooooooo Easy
Very enjoyable, yet simple game! Walking sim that only takes around 8 min if you're goal is just to beat it. Closer to 15 min if you are enjoying it. Not much of a puzzle game imo, the closest puzzle being only one step long. Some fun jumpscares!! lots of potential for an explanation in the universe in which we are placed. I enjoyed this quite a bit!
Meh, okay for $2
