Fun horror game 7/10 not too scary but fun gameplay
[h2] [b] [u]Sinopse: [/u] [/b] [/h2] Você é um "detetive paranormal" que tem como objetivo investigar uma casa onde ocorreu alguns desastres, ao chegar e vasculhar um pouco você encontrar coisas de outro mundo, literalmente... [h2] [b] [u]Minha Opinião: [/u] [/b] [/h2] Eldritch Archives é um game bem simples, você vai zerar em coisa de 30min a 1h, mas é muito bom. O mesmo conta com uma estória bacana, gráficos muito lindos e uma gameplay interessante, não chega a ser assustador, mas possui seus momentos tensos e ótimos puzzles. Resumidamente é um lindo game e vale a pena seu tempo!
Really liked the art style and eerie atmosphere. "Made2Break" gave me a chuckle. If you're looking for a short horror with puzzle elements, this one's worth checking out.
liked it can be scary at times
Do not waste your time. The only good thing about this game is that it's free.
Игра 'Eldritch Archives' - достойный представитель жанра детективных roguelite с интересным визуальным стилем, вдохновленным Лавкрафтом. Меня зацепила атмосфера таинственности и ощущение надвигающейся угрозы, которое пронизывает каждый уголок библиотеки. Исследование архивов, сбор улик и борьба с безумием – все это реализовано достаточно увлекательно. Боевая система, хотя и простая, заставляет продумывать каждый ход, а разнообразие уникальных предметов и навыков позволяет экспериментировать со стилями игры. Реиграбельность на высоте благодаря процедурной генерации локаций и случайным событиям. Однако, стоит отметить, что игра может показаться немного однообразной после нескольких прохождений, а сложность порой ощущается несбалансированной. Не всегда понятно, как избежать некоторых фатальных ситуаций. Тем не менее, если вы ищете увлекательный и атмосферный roguelite с элементами хоррора, 'Eldritch Archives' вполне может вам понравиться.
kinda good design, like it
