saya suka storynya, dan vibenya. tapi, untuk keterangan dialog antar karakter, perlu pembeda.
This is probably the best game i’ve ever experienced!! Fascinating, i love it so much. Ortymd and others just made a great rival for ea and other devs. Wish you luck, guys!
Гра сподобалась своїм ламповим вайбом та навіть заставляла кричати від скримерів, але треба грати у навушниках. Ще рекомендація для всіх, не стоїть розглядати всесвіт самотужки, йдіть по сценарію-то будете ламати скрипти, яки ще не повинні бути активованими)) ну і остання глава у печері мені не дуже сподобалась)
Нелогичная, раздражающая и заканчивающаяся НИЧЕМ игра. Нелогичная: очень забагованная, подсказок то нет вообще, то они появляются не там, где нужно или когда уже сделал нужное действие. Понять, что хочет разработчик нихрена не ясно. Раздражающая: от того, что от нас что-то хотят, но не подсказывают должным образом. Перевод крайне паршивый, и вообще не помогает делу. Финальный забег по пещерам больше бесит из-за ужасной темноты и дурацких смертей по 5-6 раз подряд на мосту. Заканчивается ничем. В чём была история? Где? Как? Почему? Какой-то внятной истории не получилось увидеть, даже с намёками на неё. Ерунда.
Decent game, but I have to say I have more questions than answers after completing the game, a lot left unanswered, but nonetheless I enjoyed the game. Gameplay 👇 https://youtu.be/qWNwAC4dqjk
great game, it has mystery, suspense, and horror. and the ending had a great twist. btw if you can't see in the cave just turn the brightness up. still very dark but much more manageable.
Flashing Dark est un bon petit jeu d'horreur auquel j'ai passé un très bon moment. Rien à dis si ce n'est un bug lors de ma rencontre avec les deux agents de police. Mon let's play : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W-z2iYjvGb8
Wirklich nicht meins. Die Steuerung macht es echt nervig, es wirkt anfangs nur wie ein Aufgaben-Abklappern-Simulator, und es laggt wie sonst was (Auf überdurchschnittlich guter Hardware). Das Voice acting ist auch ziehmlich schlecht, und man hat kaun freiheiten. Hatte mich sehr auf realistischen horror gefreut, aber leider gilt hier mal wieder: Gute idee, schlechte umsetzung. 4/10
Скучное дерьмо.
Very good game, not very hard but extremely fun. Enjoy it !!
