I don't know who Jack Pritz is, but apparently he has a paralysing fear of women, including perfectly "normal"/good-looking ones dressed in regular-people's clothing. Basically imagine a character model lifted from The Sims, who walks around emitting a sound comparable to a dozen banshees caught in a windstorm, even with her lips closed. Terrified yet? Add some graphics which would have been cutting edge somewhere around the time that Half-Life 1 was released, and sound effects even WORSE than Half-Life 1 (grass and floorboards sounding exactly the same when you run over them) - and, of course, absolutely NONE of the inventive storytelling and clever mapping which make Half-Life 1 such a brilliant and timeless game - and you have the masterpiece which is Erusal. Oh, and did I mention that there are no discernible "stealth" mechanics, in a scenario in which you are weaponless and have to actively EVADE the aforementioned succubus in black jeans and stripey pink shirt? Gameplay heaven. To top it all off, you can apparently complete this game in a stupendously short time period, but the ten minutes which I gave it was more than enough of my life wasted. I hope that Mr Jack Pritz uses the ill-gotten proceeds from this game to nab himself some quality psychiatric care, or failing that, perhaps he could have just murdered whichever girl slighted him and saved the rest of us the trauma of having to play this alleged "game". Get well soon, Mr Pritz. Get well soon. Verdict: 0.5/10. (PS I had honestly no idea what an "epistolary" horror game was, so I looked the word up. Curiously enough, it DOESN'T mean "utterly worthless and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ beyond all comprehension".)

"Erusal" ist ein kurzes First Person Slender-Adventure. Eines kann man von diesem Spiel ohne Frage lernen: Quad-Fahren ist gefährlich. Nach einem Unfall mit einem solchen Quad nebst Bewußtlosigkeit landen wir nämlich in einer grottig dämlichen Spielwelt gepaart mit einer langweilig uninspirierten Geschichte. Im Endeffekt latschen wir nur druch diverse Häuser auf der Suche nach Schlüsseln und Zetteln, während wir darauf achten müssen, daß uns eine junge Slender-Frau namens Bernadette nicht erwischt. Nach einer guten halben Stunde ist der Spuk gottseidank vorbei und wir haben das Spiel überstanden. Das Spiel schafft es zu keinem Moment, seine Intention, erschreckend gruselig zu sein, zu erreichen. Im Gegenteil. Man kann immer wieder nur lachen oder den Kopf schütteln über den ungelenk peinlichen Textwust auf den Zetteln oder über das abstrus talentbefreite Spieldesign. Getunkt ist das alles in eine schwache Unity-Grafik, die reichlich veraltet wirkt und ein paar sich ständig wiederholende generische Sounds. Wäre der Inhalt nicht schon genug Argument, dieses Spiel zu meiden, ist es sicher die Spielmechanik. Wir können uns zum Beispiel nur absurd schnell bewegen, was gern mal dazu führt, daß wir ständig gegen Türstöcke knallen. Im Gegensatz zur Kamerabewegung ist diese Bewegungsgeschwindigkeit auch nicht anders einzustellen. Das killt schonmal - neben so ziemlich allen anderen Spielelementen - jegliche Immersion und hinterläßt nur noch ein lächerliches Nichts.

WHAT WAS THAT ? Story: You play as a young man, who after being ditched by your friends goes out on his ATV to drive around in the woods, when all of a sudden you get ambushed by a crazed woman. You then find yourself in an abandoned mining town all while being chased by her all while you learn the town's history. The story sucks plain and simple. I've found every note in the game and let me tell you that the story barely makes any sense. It's basically about how the women go crazy and wind up killing their husbands because "reasons" and people hate each other. It's honestly awfully bad and the ending is so bad that I will talk about it in the gameplay section. Graphics: Erusal is an asset flip. Pretty much a good chunk of the buildings you rummage through are taken directly from the asset store with literally no changes done to them. I've played plenty of Unity horror games so I spot these things quickly and this one is just as lazy as all the other attempts. Audio: Not much audio design, but whatever is here is poorly done. There's also plenty of bugs like audio effects stacking and that will make you go deaf. There are music tracks which are royalty free intense tracks, so it matches the rest of the quality of the game. Gameplay: Erusal is basically a walking simulator where every once in a while you get chased by a stock woman model. Her AI is both slow and stupid and can get stuck if you know what you're doing. She is essentially programmed to book it to you in a straight line so the chases aren't as intense as the game thinks they are. But let's talk about the biggest thing and that's the note collecting. There's an absurd amount of notes for a game that's about 4 minutes long. There's roughly 50 notes or something like that you have to find to really understand the story of the game, however the first time I finished the game the game said that I missed a few notes and I should go back to unlock the true ending. Curious, but invested to see what the true ending was I went back and went through every house looking for the notes I missed cause I was playing while a friend watched. Then I found the note I missed and I found the true ending is a "Thanks for Playing screen". So it basically forced me to go back for literally no reason. Verdict: Erusal is insulting and a horrendous game. I payed 39 cent for this and I feel like I was ripped off to no end. So just stay away from this game as far away as possible. Final Rating: 1/10 Pros: N/A Cons: - Asset Flip - Game tricks you into believing there's more than one ending - Horrible audio design - Buggy If you liked this review please consider joining https://steamcommunity.com/groups/completingthebacklog and https://steamcommunity.com/groups/ImperialReviews
Probably the boring game I ever payed reading and walking simulator empty environments, empty world, sad no good music, Just a sad boring game, did not enjoy it at all In this game the story was like the D game, but the story was bad I just did not care for the ppl and the couple, not that interesting to read what so ever The chasing part was the most stupid thing I ever saw, worthless If you want to read just to read a good book and enjoy, don't play this game. Or play some really good Visual novel games and read there
Wieder mal haben wir hier ein Spiel, das die meisten Leute hier negativ bewerten, ich aber ganz gut finde. Eurosal ist ein kleines Indie-Spiel, genauer gesagt eine Mischungen aus Walking-Simulator und Slenderman. Relativ am Anfang des Spiels findet man sich in der Wildnis wieder und fragt sich, wie man dahin gekommen ist. Es gilt Notizen zu finden, die Aufschluss geben, was passiert ist. In gewissen Abschnitten wird man dabei von einer mysteriösen Frau gejagt. Die Story, die sich aus diesen Notizen ergibt, finde ich persönlich ziemlich gut und macht das Spiel für mich lohnend. Der ganze Rest ist allerdings ziemlich bescheiden. Die Grafik sieht annehmbar aus, ist aber sehr veraltet. Der Sound ist nicht gut. Die Steuerung ist am Anfang sehr schlecht, wird dann aber besser. Ich kann gar nicht genau sagen, warum das so ist. Im ersten Raum ist man viel zu schnell unterwegs, später fällt einem das allerdings nicht mehr auf. Vermutlich weil man dann größere Strecken zurücklegen muss. Leider war mein Spiel mit einem großen Bug belastet, während der Bewegung blitzte im unteren Bildbereich immer etwas Weißes auf (UPDATE: Dieses Problem konnte durch Abstellen des Head-Bopping gelöst werden). Das war sehr nervig. Trotzdem bewerte ich das Spiel positiv, weil ich sehr interessiert der Geschichte folgen wollte. Ich hoffe, dieser Bug tritt nur bei mir auf. Die Spielzeit beträgt etwa eine Stunde und dafür finde ich den Preis okay. Pro: Story Preis Kontra: Grafik Sound Bugs Hier seht ihr ein Video der ersten Spielminuten: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCe8qgibZBo
[b]Erusal[/b] - эпистолярный хоррор. Будучи ремейком [url=https://gamejolt.com/games/erusal-classic/32418]оригинальной бесплатной игры[/url], эта версия всё равно сохраняет в себе как всяческие технические уродства, так и слабую хоррор-составляющую. Однако, если принять тот факт, что разработчик делал упор на текстовое повествование, для которого всё остальное является лишь "игровым сопровождением", то получилось у него всё правильно. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2238061944 История заброшенного шахтерского городка где-то в глубинах Северной Америки длительностью в районе получаса.
