Heaven Does Not Respond

Okay I love the style, characters, and story of this game, the puzzles were a bit hard but thats just cause im an idiot, one thing bugs me is how the characters talk and grammar(and thats coming from me lol), other than that if you like the late 2000s and like solving puzzles and hearing a story i recommend playing this game.

It's once again one of those games I would give a 'meh' rating rather than not recommended, but eventually I am leaning towards this side for several reasons below. The game is a poor imitation of Hypnospace Outlaw and took plenty of inspirations from the artsyle, puzzle design, atmosphere and even similar style of plot in general. Whatever you would find in this game, you will find it in Hypnospace outlaw and executed much much better, which is a key reason why I do not recommend this game. I have no problems with games learning from each other, but I have major problem with not inventing anything of your own and just created a poor replica. Unfortunately the game falls into that category. Additionally, the game executes the atmosphere very poorly by littering cheap flashy visual effects and glitches which to be honest gets extremely repetitive and boring after the first two. You can almost expect glitch jumpscares around the corner and the shock effect is gone after the first 10 minutes. The rest are just eplipsy triggers (which is done successfully in that regard). The puzzles are extremely simple and the world is not expanded upon at all, and is not even a tenth of the size of hypnospace outlaw. Anything outside of the main story line is all in pieces and there's almost no exploration in a seemingly 'open world' net world. The story is cliche and boring and is almost 80% similar to what's in HO anyway. The characters don't have character, the plot does not thicken and twist, everything is pretending to be hippy and fun but actually just extremely hollow under the disguise of those flashy visual effects. Of course, whatever they did create with exploration is still entertaining, but really I was very close to giving up after a whole light show and puzzles I can count with my fingers.

Very fun investigative type game, very good attention to detail too, overall i'd recommend it.

The files are IN the computer! Heaven Does Not Respond is light puzzle mystery game. You will still dig through the computer files to find the right clues to solve puzzles. I love this take on the retro OS investigation games. It's not complex to the point where you will get stuck to the point of frustration. There is just enough tension and intrigue to keep you going. With that said, this game isn't perfect as there seems to be some plot holes in the story for me, and a strong narrative is important to keep the momentum going in these type of games. As a first released, this is a strong start for Rise Studios, and I hope they continue this momentum in future releases.

not bad! 6/10

One of the best psychological horror games i played if NOT "THE" best. Everything is just THE "GAME". You need to try this MASTERPIECE. A big thanks to this Turkic potential game cast devs for this wonderful and spectacular game. 2005/2005.
