Get Out... is an apt title for this little diddy of a one-man indie horror game. If it's on your wishlist, get it out. If it's in your cart, get it out, if it's in your library, get it out. This game launched at the ridiculous price of $10 USD and has since been halved, and you can generally find it on sale for around 70% off; like I unfortunately did. I like to give small titles with barely any reviews a chance to shine, but boy did this one miss every mark imaginable.
Simply put, this game took one aspect of Silent Hills P.T. and nothing else. It's a hallway that loops a total of 50 times, and that's it. On one loop the lights might be going crazy, on another some "creepy" character model might try and dominate you with its T-Pose as it runs at lightning speed towards you. Sometimes you need to pick up a key to progress, other times that same exact key is in a drawer and you can't pick it up; the inconsistencies are frustrating. Sometimes you simply just need to exist in a room long enough to trigger loop progression, but you won't know until you waste that amount of time looking around the hallway for anything you might have missed.
The doors open slower than the original door animation in Resident Evil, and what's worse is that you can't see anything at all. Yes, it's another "the darker the scarier" mindset type of release, and worse yet, there's a flashlight with actual battery mechanics. Even worse still... if you decide to quit the game for a bit and go back, and you reload your save data, the game doesn't save the batteries you've collected. You'll be back down to 0, even if you had an abundance of them. Not like it matters much anyway since the flashlight does very little to actually light any area at all, you have to be pressed up against something like a wall or a door for it to illuminate it.
Personally, I got stuck on loop 23. After seeing the video of the one brave soul who went before me, turns out I had to wait like 10 minutes for the door to magically pop open. So this game is indeed rigged to just take your money. There's 50 loops of trash stock assets, stock door animations, and one endlessly looping track that starts at the main menu and persists through the entire experience, just to create some sort of longevity to attempt to push buyers past the two hour mark so that a refund can't be given. The developer couldn't even be bothered to fix a spelling mistake in the main menu, or to even make sure the 2 slider options work. There's nothing here, absolutely nothing at all. Get Out... yes, please.
