Fear of the Dark

[h1]It's far from perfect, but it's a fairly enjoyable start[/h1] https://youtu.be/dJ4dNVvcuV8 I [b]shouldn't[/b] like this game. It features many gameplay mechanics which will frustrate many. The battery life is a cruel joke, you can barely run at all, only hold a measly 3 items at a time, the AI is simple... And yet, I recommend it. Why? I enjoyed finding each new item and trying to figure out where and how it gets used. I quite liked the monster that occasionally pops up and forces you to retreat to safety. The puzzles, though simple, feel fairly rewarding to complete and gaining access to new rooms and new items was exciting throughout. It's certainly a flawed game with a lot that needs changing or tweaking, but ultimately I found it kinda fun. Maybe I'm just a masochist. I hope more areas will be added later.

This is just another poorly optimized indie horror game made with the Unity engine. It also has typical Unity related issues such as jittery camera movement and frame rate drops. For example, when you activate the group of televisions in this game, the frame rate drops into the 40s in that area. There is also some strange swirling graphical horizontal line glitching around the edges of the screen. Watch some Youtube playthroughs and look at the edges around the screen to see what I am talking about. There is also no way to manually save the game and if you die a certain number of times or quit playing you must restart the entire game. There are also no graphic settings except for low to high, brightness, and resolution and it takes forever to slowly scroll through all the resolution options because the list repeats the same resolutions numerous times. The flashlight also runs out quickly and you can only sprint for very short distances and are then forced to walk very slowly. I know this game is early access, but I have seen too many instances where the game gets abandoned before being fixed. Overall, I just did not enjoy myself enough in this game to wait on the developer to address numerous issues.

So, this is not a write-off of this game. Instead, on day one, it's hard to recommend it. It seems like it has potential, and I'll definitely be checking in again after a while. Check out our play of the first half hour or so to get an idea of where we think things could improve, even if it's just pointing us in the right direction: https://youtu.be/R_WFTVkeJT4

Playing the full release I think its an alright game. Its fair to call this more of an escape room than survival horror. There is not much in terms of guidance or lore, it doesnt have 20 notes with 5000 words each, (I never read those anyway). I always appreciate a horror game that doesnt have a lore.txt in every room. Being escape room-y, its only understandable that you need to figure things out yourself, but the game does not have any cryptic puzzles, so I dont see that as a problem. I hope the low review count bundled with the mixed opinions doesnt discourage the developer, as Id like to see more projects in the future.

Страшненько, прям как я люблю

I played this game on stream after seeing a fairly popular YouTuber play it. Overall, there are quirks. It's not hard to get away from the "monster", the "puzzles" (running around finding random items and trying to figure out where random items go) are fairly easy. I feel almost embarrassed to say, but I spent way too long over thinking some of the things and how to use them and wasted about 20-30 min at the end trying to figure out the last puzzle (which was super frustrating since it was was easier than I thought and I was really overthinking it) For a time killer, the game is good. The graphics are nice, the mechanics are well done. Initially, the game is tense. There is a small overall story that is unique and interesting, but not required to the overall gameplay. The issues I have with it, I hate hate hate, back and forth games like this. What I mean is find an item in one area, need to run to the other side of the map to use it, find item, run to other side of map, rinse and repeat. Some games can drag out gameplay for HOURS and it is super frustrating, especially if you miss something or get lost. This one isn't horrible, but it still has that mechanic that can get dull. I will say, the map isn't very large, so doing this back and forth isn't bad, BUT, there's no real sense of dread and it has no real fear. The monster shows up at random, in random places, which is highly confusing. The AI is pretty dumb, so after a bit you just play around with him. There's no real sense of "survival" I also despise flashlight dying games. This one isn't too bad, but seriously, when have you EVER had a flashlight die within seconds of finding new batteries or being recharged. This aspect to horror games needs to go. This is not a reflection on this developer, per se, but it would be nice to have a game where flashlights are not an issue. Overall, the game is decent. it's a good time killer. The quirks can be tweaked if the dev wants to and the game could be made into something more. I wouldn't mind seeing this game grow. maybe add levels or chapters, etc. But I would like to see more scare out of it. The puzzle part is fairly spot on, not too hard and not too easy, but with no challenge of dying, it's fairly simple to just run around and figure it out. I would still recommend it, I would highly recommend it if the dev works more on it and adds things later on as it is a fairly decent game. But as of now, I say it sits in the middle of the pack and is a fairly worthwhile time killer.

일단 굉장히 어두워서 눈을 크게 뜨고 단서들을 찾으셔야 합니다 단서들이 빤짝거리기는 하는데 제가 눈이 침침해서 그런가 잘 안보이더군요 그리고 갑툭튀가 어느정도 있어요 갑자기 소리가 나면 일단 도망가시면 됩니다 사실 3번 죽으면 데이터도 날아가고 처음부터 해야 된다는 점이 굉장히 열받기는 하는데 7500원 퀄리티에 이정도 공포게임이면 잘만든 수작이라고 봅니다 한번 해보셔도 좋을거같아요 그리고 엔딩 추가좀 마지막 허무하게 끝나서 순간 당황했네요

Leider ruckelt das spiel bei Drehung der Kamera und verursacht bei mir Kopfschmerzen. Die Rätsel sind "OK" ist halt Typisches Backtracking ...Lauf da hin nimm das lauf dahin benutz das lauf wieder dahin und nimm dies und so weiter. Das Monster ist einfach nur nervig und null gruselig und um es los zu werden muss man jedes mal zum Startraum zurück was echt nervt vor allem weil man nicht endlos sprinten kann und das Monster wenn man nicht sprintet schneller als man selbst ist ,aber mann kann es mit der Taschenlampe verlangsamen was es erträglicher macht . Dennoch hat man nur 3 Leben und wenn die weg sind kann man alles von vorne anfangen wo ich mich frage was diese Mechanik soll ? Alles in allem hätte es das Potenzial in gutes spiel zu sein ist es aber leider nicht . Meine Ehrliche Meinung es gibt für den Preis weit aus bessere Horror spiele die mehr Spaß bieten und fehlerlos laufen. Also leider keine Kaufempfehlung !
