GHOST at DAWN

I'll give this a positive, because I can tell this developer has chops. The sanity meter is a fun concept, and with some fine-tuning, it could be a really enjoyable time. The problem is that it's just...not. Every enemy instakills you just by making contact with you, which erases the idea that you have a choice to avoid combat. If you don't kill everything in any given room, you will probably die. And if you die five times, you're locked out of the good ending, which is just one more layer of feeling bad for no reason. It's got some visual charm, a lot of the bugs have been cleared up, and the story is serviceable (though the main character could have been fleshed out a bit more). It's not a terrible time, it just really deserved a little more structural refinement. I'll say this much though, we don't get many anime survival horror games, so I'm certainly happy it exists. Support your local indies and give this one a buy!

Thanks for your update - you completely broke the game. Great Job

A estética do jogo é muito boa, parece que voce ta jogando um anime !

Es un survival horror bastante curioso, tiene buenos sustos y no es fácil ya que mueres al mero contacto o a la exposición continua. Le queda por pulir unos cuantos bugs pero es totalmente disfrutable.

So, here goes. I fell in love with the games' atmosphere the second I saw the first trailer. I applied to be a content creator, was accepted, and have enjoyed every second of the process. I recommend this game as a creator, and as a massive fan. Here's why you should buy it. The art style is unlike anything I've seen in a game. The character design is off the charts cool - especially as many (if not all) are based off of real people known by the dev. The scenery is incredibly atmospheric, the colour pallete is gorgeous, and the camera angles are incredible cinematic experiences. My only struggle is occasionally getting stuck in the camera snapping between scenes when trying to move, but it's easily remedied by making one continuous movement rather than trying to adjust as it changes (the game will know where you're trying to go, and it's not always necessary to adjust yourself). The story is a masterpiece. It is tragic, dark, and hard in many ways. But it is this deep raw content that makes it such a compelling story. It is told in a sensitive way, and the outcome is one that left me more than satisfied. If you like a story-driven narrative, this is one for you. But it also has such re-playability. This is also a speed-running game, and a game of stats. There are items to win and ranks to achieve. It fits both categories. And lastly, the dev is incredibly dedicated. As a creator I have seen the hard work put in behind the scenes to make this game the best it can be, and that dedication is something not often seen. They are constantly listening to feedback and finding ways to improve the game, and the overall experience. If you want a game that will strive to be the best form of itself, this is it. They deserve praise and support for the work they put in, and the future of the Horror Business name looks bright. This was one of my favourite gaming experiences, and I will be playing this for a long time. If you love anime, noir, horror, survival, drinking on the job, ghosts, stunning visuals, and hot investigators, this is your game. Get it, it's worth it.

Really enjoyed this. Some frustrating one hit kills but overall really enjoyed it - the vibes, art, and great quality of life in the game made it the frustration a small concern. One big content warning about this game: [spoiler] the story isn't really in your face but the game is about human trafficking and a pedophile so obviously have to decide if that is something you're willing to experience. Honestly, I wish the girl was at least legal - it's still messed up but pedophilia is really just not needed. Didn't really add anything to the game at all imo but instead will limit the audience that enjoys it. [/spoiler]

Honestly, I enjoyed this game more than I initially thought I would! It definitely sparked my interest in this type of horror genre! The music, the setting and the story are really well executed! Paired with the interesting choice in art style has made this game stand out! There's even multiple endings depending on how much you've discovered as the detective! It really makes it worth replaying and using your previous knowledge to get the best ending! The story might be a little intense for some as it deals with traumatic experiences but I think it was well done and does a good job of tackling it with out crossing the line but that's subjective so others may have a different opinion. The horror aspect isn't too crazy, whilst there were a couple spooky moments the game was more eerie than scary HOWEVER I won't pretend, it did get me a few times! I'm definitely looking forward to being psychologically scarred in the next installment! P.S My playtime is wrong I actually have about 4hrs idk why it says 67mins
