Forest Asylum

A clever $1 game. Lots of AI use in images in game, voices in game. Good puzzles, some of them are literally guessing game. A good buy for a buck.

I’ve played some bad games in my life, but this one? This one fundamentally broke me. Not just emotionally, not just mentally—physically. I didn’t think it was possible for a video game to induce erectile dysfunction.I used to insert myself into a chicken bake with the kind of enthusiasm that made life worth living. Now? Nothing. But the worst part? The trauma runs so deep that I can’t even enjoy the simple things in life anymore. Take trains, for example. Before this game, hearing a train approach was just a normal part of the day. Now, all I can hear is: "OMGGG I'M SO CLOSE I'M LITERALLY ABOUT TO COME" And I can’t unhear it. Would rather listen to a train edging for eternity than ever touch this game again. 0/10.

A Car accident, turned Urban Explorer. I finished the game and I can't really tell you what it was about. That's not a bad thing. Its just.... you know what... I don't have the words. It was creepy, there were random jump scares and some puzzles to solve. One of them was pretty interesting and enjoyed it. I would have liked learning some of the lore of the Asylum I was exploring.... files laying around explaining stuff as an example. I bought it on sale as a bundle with Forest Asylum 2. It wasn't great, but it wasn't bad either. I'm gonna give it a 5/10 I will say though, for one person working on it.. not bad. The price is right.

Considering this game as an exercise in frustration, I am baffled by the positive reviews. For starters, it is too dark. Unless your settings are "epic", you are groping about in pitch blackness once you enter the building. There is no flashlight offered until later. If there are clues for the puzzles, you likely won't see them. Some can be brute-forced without much effort. I gave up at the fire puzzle after watching a video, during which the player was having the same issues figuring out how to set the valves and in what specific order, along with the switches, etc., etc... The logic escapes me on this one. It would be nice to get the last four achievements, but feeling that I spent a dollar for the privilege of pulling my hair out, it's not going to happen. On the plus side (maybe), there are auto-saving checkpoints. If you leave the game and come back, you will be thrust back to the last checkpoint. The game is short enough that it may not be an issue. That's my two cents...

Me gusto el juego tiene una ambientacion brutal, te mantiene pegado al asiento todo el tiempo, el unico pero que le pongo es que no tiene subtitulos al Español, pero lo recomiendo. I liked the game, it has a brutal setting, it keeps you glued to your seat the whole time, the only thing I have to say about it is that it doesn't have Spanish subtitles, but I recommend it.

Ist zwar sehr dunkel das Game, aber man findet seinen Weg. Die Rätsel sind alle recht einfach und intuitiv. Ist ein gut investierter Euro, hat Spaß gemacht.

Чудова гра за дуже низьку ціну. Проходження українською https://youtu.be/8CnG1NUuJvA

I whole heartedly loved this game and it the game dev is a cool guy too, so its 10/10 for me (the puzzles are one of the best things about it)

I played this game yesterday and got stuck on the last puzzle. But thats more because i suck at solving puzzles.I would have loved to see some more back story/lore on the asylum, but I'm sure they fixed that in the sequel. Great game for the price. Super excited to try the sequel and any future games they come out with. If you like creepy atmosphere with a few puzzles you should try it out.

Egy picit rövid az igaz, de amúgy jó.
