身体のパーツを4個集める1人称ホラーゲーム。画面は明るめ。やることも簡単。驚かせはあるけど爆音ではないので助かる。 https://youtu.be/K2aEA71OMGQ 広そうに見えて狭い空間で身体パーツを探して取る、指定の位置に置く、出てきたメモを読む。それだけでした。 パーツに近づくと鼓動の音がするけどしなくても問題ないくらいには狭かった。 ゾクゾクもビックリもしなかったのでテキストアドベンチャーしてる感覚になりました。
Scary game, great atmosphere & sound design. Worth the price
Completed the game just now. A very fun cool realistic horror game in a prison with a bloody mess. Realistic graphics, cool prison level and interesting/trippy visuals. gg
Short Review: Final Outcry is a very VERY short found footage psychological horror game (you can beat this game in under 20 min probably). The single puzzle that is the game is ok, but the game relies heavily on jump scares for any substance. Long Review: I can't believe this game has a demo, it is a demo. I beat it in 26 min of playtime but, honestly, 10 of that was me stopping to have a text chat with my gf. This game wants to be paranormal outlast really bad and, if a full game comes out where you actually do explore cell blocks A, B, and D maybe it could be. However, the game is a walking simulator with the move to area A and get item X, bring it to area B and then go to area C, and so on. The game also feels incredibly railroaded considering puzzle pieces spawn in a set order despite you having been there before the pieces spawn checkpoint was triggered. Additionally, there are clear graphical issues with the shadows clipping through environmental polygons but besides that the game looks ok. Despite the price tag of $2.56 I would say save your money, but honestly it's such a cheap game it really doesn't make a difference. Edit: I'm adding this edit to add that chances are this game was beaten and then returned for a full refund by the majority of the players which is why it has so few, and all positive reviews, because your review doesn't stay if you return the game (I don't think at least).
Final Outcry is a first-person psychological horror game developed by Andrew Kendall and published by Anchorwatch Games that builds its experience around environmental tension, paranormal mystery, and found-footage storytelling. Rather than relying heavily on combat encounters or traditional survival systems, the game creates fear through uncertainty, atmosphere, and the slow unraveling of disturbing events hidden inside a forgotten location. Built using a presentation style inspired by analog horror and documentary-style recordings, Final Outcry focuses on immersion and psychological discomfort rather than constant action. The premise centers around a classified investigation involving unusual events connected to a mysterious government division responsible for handling unexplained phenomena. Players experience the story through recovered recordings tied to an explorer who entered an abandoned correctional facility during the mid-1980s and vanished without explanation. This narrative structure immediately establishes a sense of realism that strengthens immersion throughout the experience. Rather than presenting horror through cinematic storytelling, the game creates the feeling of discovering something players were never meant to see. The abandoned prison itself becomes one of the game's greatest strengths. Final Outcry understands that horror settings work best when they carry personality and history beyond visual appearance alone. Long empty hallways, deteriorating interiors, damaged facilities, and quiet abandoned spaces create a constant feeling of vulnerability. Exploration remains tense not because danger appears constantly, but because players never feel completely safe. The environment itself becomes a source of pressure. Atmosphere drives nearly every major strength found throughout the experience. The slower pacing allows tension to build gradually instead of relying entirely on sudden surprises. Empty spaces feel uncomfortable. Silence becomes meaningful. Moments where nothing appears to happen often become some of the most unsettling parts of progression because uncertainty remains constant. The game consistently understands that anticipation can create stronger fear than direct confrontation. The found-footage presentation becomes another standout feature. Visual distortion, recording imperfections, analog interference, and older recording aesthetics strengthen the illusion that players are watching recovered evidence rather than participating in a traditional horror game. The visual approach supports immersion exceptionally well because every design choice reinforces the larger atmosphere. The style helps Final Outcry establish a distinct identity rather than blending into more conventional horror releases. Environmental storytelling also deserves recognition. Information is not delivered entirely through direct exposition. Instead, players gradually uncover details through exploration and observation. The abandoned prison slowly reveals fragments of larger events tied to paranormal activity and government secrecy. The mystery expands naturally throughout progression, encouraging curiosity alongside fear. The game's use of Unreal Engine 5 contributes significantly to environmental quality. Lighting becomes especially important throughout progression, shaping atmosphere through darkness, visibility limitations, and environmental contrast. Smaller visual details help reinforce realism while strengthening immersion inside the prison setting. The facility feels believable enough that exploration maintains tension even during quieter moments. Sound design becomes equally essential to the horror experience. Audio consistently reinforces discomfort through subtle environmental effects and carefully placed sounds that create unease without constantly announcing danger directly. Distant noises, structural creaking, ambient effects, and carefully managed silence work together to create a persistent feeling that something may exist nearby even when nothing appears visible. One of Final Outcry's stronger qualities comes from its restraint. Many horror games depend heavily on repeated jump scares or nonstop intensity. Final Outcry often chooses patience instead. Fear develops gradually through environmental pressure and uncertainty rather than overwhelming players with immediate threats. The result creates horror that lingers psychologically rather than disappearing once a startling moment passes. The paranormal elements add another layer of intrigue beyond the abandoned facility itself. Government investigations, unexplained incidents, and mysterious forces slowly expand the larger narrative without revealing everything immediately. This slower information delivery strengthens curiosity while maintaining suspense throughout progression. The focused design naturally creates limitations depending on player expectations. Those seeking combat systems or survival-focused mechanics may find the experience lighter in gameplay variety. Final Outcry commits heavily to exploration and atmosphere rather than action-oriented horror design. The slower pacing may also feel deliberate for players who prefer constant escalation. However, those same choices ultimately define what makes the game effective. Andrew Kendall and Anchorwatch Games deliver an experience built around tension and immersion rather than spectacle. Final Outcry succeeds because it understands that psychological horror becomes strongest when players feel uncertain rather than powerful. For players who enjoy atmospheric horror, found-footage presentation, paranormal mysteries, and slower exploration-driven experiences focused on psychological tension, Final Outcry offers a memorable journey built around fear that grows steadily through atmosphere and mystery rather than relying solely on direct confrontation. Rating: 6/10
Avis mitigé sur ce jeu. J'ai bien aimé l'atmosphère, par contre au niveau des tâches à accomplir, c'est plutôt répétitif et pas fou. Il y a par ailleurs un effet visuel très gênant sur le sol en 2e partie, je ne sais pas si c'était voulu ou si c'est un bug. Le final est également à mon sens loupé et me fait sortir de là sur un sentiment de "ouais bof". Après avec l'offre de lancement à -40%, c'est ok. Le tarif plein me semble excessif par contre pour le contenu proposé.
Great game for people who enjoy a horror game with creative jumpscares! So cheap and great to play w friends watching!!
Final Outcry is a short horror game similar to the SCP series of games/stories. It's a found footage kind of "adventure" where you relive the protagonists .... ummm.... experience as he tries to escape some kind of prison he finds himself in. When I say this is a "short" game, I mean it is SHORT. I played completely through TWICE in 58 minutes. The first play through, I took my time and explored... 50 minutes total. The second play through (speed-run) took 8 minutes. I did experience some things in the second play through that I didn't in the first, which was kinda kewl, actually. The game ran fine in LINUX. I got the game on sale. I think it's worth it, though.... there's limited replay ability. It is great for killing (ha, ha) time. I loved the environment, though there was a weird clicking that was throughout the game, and I couldn't figure out what it was supposed to be.... maybe it was supposed to be the recording device, since it occurred consistently every ... 30 seconds? ... 60 seconds? ... it was consistent. I am a little disappointed in the end, only because there's only one end, but... I guess that's typical for this kind of game, too. Game did have some jump scares that got me... kudos to the dev on that. Overall, I give FINAL OUTCRY .... 7 out of 10 severed limbs.
??是我卡bug了吗,怎么感觉游戏就做了个开头
En apenas 10 minutos puedes completar el juego. Muy simple, lineal y abusa de los jumpscares sin motivo. Sin embargo, por lo que cuesta y que al menos la atmósfera está algo lograda, merece la pena.
