Xavier is trapped in a mysterious house, and Xandra explores an old house to find clues to facilitate Xavier's escape. The intertwining narratives and communication between the characters are key to solving the puzzles and uncovering the secrets of their entrapment.

In co-op mode, communication between Xavier and Xandra is crucial as they navigate their respective houses and uncover the connections between past and present. ------🔹 The puzzles are well-designed, with logical solutions that require thorough exploration. They are not overly difficult but provide a good challenge. The hint doll is a helpful feature, providing subtle hints without giving away the solutions.

[/td][/tr][/table] Rating: 8.5/10 I hate jumpscares.
Слов нет, духота полнейшая, никакие загадки не спасут эту "игру", этот убогий ассет дома от которого уже буквально тошнит, который использую 9 из 10 говноделов на юнити, просто сходу отбивает какое либо желание играть в это. Управление при решении загадок это отдельная форма пытки, сделать такое можно только страдая очень тяжелой формой шизофрении. В общем я не осилил даже полу часа, нахрен надо, не играть, а пытаться понять по какому принципу наливается вино в бакалы и т.д. Однозначный рефанд.
A refreshing new take on a co-op horror game. Different kinds of puzzles that were very creative. My friend and I ran into a few bugs along the way but we communicated to the devs and they fixed it right away! Definitely take a friend and try this game out if you've been looking for something new!
Disclaimer: The game is still in Early Access but has enough content and the developer appears to be active. Also, I have only played the single player mode. "Envious" is an atmospheric puzzle horror game. You find yourself trapped in a house filled with puzzles and you are trying to escape and figure out why this is happening. The graphics are fine, many different setting options exist and it runs ok. With that said, the game could use optimization improvements to run smoother (which is something I was expecting given the 5GB size). It is playable though and without lags. An enjoyable experience that pleasantly took me by surprise due to how thorough and well thought the puzzles are. They are not easy... Not by a long shot... But they aren't impossible or have out of the blue solutions. Even if you aren't accustomed to such puzzles, with the help of the hint doll and [b]very[/b] carefully listening to her, you can figure out the solution; they are self-contained puzzles, you are given all the necessary information to progress. This stroke me hard on the second puzzle of the game when I understood how to go about the solution... I must have read and 20 times the hint when my memory finally jogged and voila! Like an epiphany, I realized the method I had to follow to put the paintings in the correct order. I'm mentioning this to explain that even if it seems that a solution is probably random, it isn't! The puzzles are meticulously created, methodical and logical. It's atmospheric and spooky, with the occassional predictable jump scare but it has been done well. Your surroundings are eerie, but not overly dramatic, so they create a realistic dreadful and scary feeling, like there is a lingering danger lurking around. Can you figure out why this is happening to you? Will you escape this trap house? For more reviews, follow my curator https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44864435-Mewesome-Reviews/
The game offers some great and quite interesting puzzles I have not seen before. Even though there has been a few early access bugs, it were quickly fixed. I personally like the small details and the communication needed to solve the puzzles. Great first game for the developers, and cant wait to see future parts/updates.
Awesome game so far, haven't finished it yet but it's amazing up till now. The puzzles aren't easy but they aren't too hard either. I definitely would recommend this game!
Great game so far, looking forward to playing the co-op part with boyfriend. Edit: I found some of the puzzles to be a little challenging for me, but just have to look out for all details hiding, and then it will be easy for figuring out the solutions. <3 :-)
A neat and enjoyable game to play with a friend. The puzzles are not too easy, yet not too challenging either. One did require us to have to think for a while and keep looking around until we finally figured it out. The setting was also well done with the ambient sounds; kept me looking over my shoulder. We did run into a few bugs that caused us to have to stop, but the devs were very polite and quick to address any bugs we encountered. Definitely a satisfied purchase. Looking forward to the next chapter. Cool devs. Cool game.
Please fix the mouse sensitivity. We played it in co-op and enjoyed it. We sometimes got a bit stuck on the puzzles, they were very challenging. Would recommend 9/10.
Had an absolute blast playing this game with my friend! We’re both huge fans of horror puzzle games, and this one definitely didn’t disappoint. While we were on edge, expecting more jump scares than we actually got (a little bit of a tease, right?), the game still kept my heart racing the entire time. The puzzles are super fun and kept us engaged, and I’d totally recommend it to anyone who loves a good brain-bending challenge! The entire game had my heart in its stomach.
