Hidden Shelter

Hidden Shelter is another horror title that has been added to my very small and selective "releases that I'm reviewing without actually completing the entire game first" list. I believe thoroughly in beating a game before writing a review, but every once in a while there's a release that presents itself as a shameless waste of time and effort to do so. What I'm about to say is nothing short of harsh, as White Vortex have managed to bundle every single element that makes a horror game god awful, while having the audacity to tag it under "survival horror", and additionally charging $11.49 CAD for it all. Story? A mYsTeRiOuS eNtIty runs your car off the road and you find yourself in an aBaNdOnEd HoUsE with your brother (?) friend (?) while looking for the third passenger that was in your car. There are notes scattered around this tOtAlLy UnIqUe MaNsIoN that are completely incoherent and do nothing to tell a backstory of this location, other than alluding to some vague, weird relationship between two people. I usually won't kick up a fuss about this kind of thing if the developer is obviously ESL, it's nice to have even the effort of putting the game into English, but here it's "let's just paste the script into Google Translate and hope for the best" level of terrible. Gameplay? It's our favourite past-time, KEY COLLECTING. Every god forsaken door in this absolutely not Resident Evil inspired mansion is locked and you have to find the key. You find the initial open door, get the key, and go find the door that that key opens. Sometimes the keys are named, other times the developer forgot or didn't give a rats bumhole to put in a name for the key. On top of it all, there's this one enemy. Just the one. You can walk straight up to the SOB and he'll stand still, but if you get too close you die. Other times there will be an obvious trigger that causes this thing to run straight at you. It runs fast. It kills you in one hit. It's impossible to out run. It is annoying, and it is the reason why I deemed this trash unworthy of my time. Everything else? Let's see. Optimization, terrible. You have to set everything to low to even have a chance at a stable 60 FPS, otherwise it's 30 FPS city. For some reason the game even renders at 10-20 FPS when you enter the menu. There's no atmosphere. No tension. No sense of direction, but rather a general feeling of fumbling around in the darkness. The character movement feels weird. And just overall, this is another generic, overpriced horror game that has the nerve to try and classify itself as sUrViVaL hOrRoR just because it has one stupid, unbeatable enemy in it. And one of, if not the worst inventory system(s) I've ever had the misfortune of seeing in a horror game.

MORRI DE MEDOOO, jogo muito bom! Já quero a continuação.

O jogo é até bem trabalhado, possui uma direção muito boa, dublagem totalmente em português. Como jogo de terror, é bem legal e pode dar alguns sustos, mas senti falta de mais puzzles e mais interatividade no jogo, que o tornou extremamente linear (que não é exatamente ruim, mas é uma abordagem diferente). Sempre que aparecer executar alguma ação o jogo vai avançar, sem exigir que haja muito esforço lógico do jogador. Não sei se é pelo uso de uma IDE muito poderosa (UE4) mas sinto que o jogo tem otimização bem mediana, talvez seja questão de polimento. Uma simples caixa ao ser batida ela adquire uma velocidade de giro alta, ao inves de simplesmente girar de forma coerente com a caixa indo para frente. A interface poderia ter sido melhor trabalhada, não tem uma resposta muito clara durante o uso dos menus. Pausar durante um áudio/fala, esse áudio continua rodando de fundo. Ps.: Durante a jogatina tive um crash do Unreal Engine, encaminhei por email ao desenvolvedor.

Me apaixonei pelo jogo! A história é intrigante e misteriosa. Nada fica muito óbvio, em geral você tem que prestar bastante atenção e ler todas as cartas, lembretes, falas dos personagens e legendas. A parte que mais me diverti foi comentar sobre o jogo com outros amigos que também já jogaram, e ficar teorizando sobre toda a história e o que vai vir no Hidden Shelter 2! Se você tem medo de jogar jogos de terror sozinho/a (como eu); recomendo que compre e jogue em call no discord com alguns amigos, ou compre pra eles e faça com que ELES façam live pra você (muahaha)! Bora apoiar um jogo feito 100% por Brasileiros, e... O jogo é mais barato que um lanchão de fast food! Quero hidden shelter 2, bora galera!!! I fell in love with this game! The story is intriguing, misterious. Nothing is simply obvious, in general, you have to pay some attention to the games, hints, the things the characters say, the letters and notes... Everything! Overall, the best part was to talk to another friends who played the game as well, and we just started theorizing about the story, and thinking about what's coming in Hidden Shelter 2. And if you're afraid of playing terror games alone (just like me), i recommend you buy and play it on discord in a call with some friends, or you can buy it to them and make THEM livestream it to you (MUAHAHA)! Let's support the game so Hidden Shelter 2 can come sooner! I'm very excited to see what's next :) And come on, the game is cheaper than a burguer, dudes! I want Hidden Shelter 2!

The way the game is paced its weird. Having to collect a key every time a new room opens its kinda to simple for me. The story is ok so no issues there. The enemy monster thing however is annoying and unfortunately its the type of enemies i hate when it comes to indie/horror titles. if you can deal with monster i would recommend this game I wont give it a bad review cause of my personal preference and everything else is good for the price.

Muito bom, recomendo a experiência. Um jogo assustador com uma história intrigante, não vejo a hora da continuação!!! Para um jogo feito com recursos e pessoal limitado, ele entrega uma gameplay melhor que muitos títulos por ai e ainda sendo 100% BR. E o melhor, os desenvolvedores estão sempre melhorando o game, isso é Fantástico já que muita gente lança o teu jogo e deixa ele pra lá. Very good, I recommend the experience. A scary game with an intriguing story, I can't wait to continue !!! For a game made with limited resources and staff, it delivers better gameplay than many titles out there and still being 100% BR. Best of all, the developers are always improving the game, this is fantastic since many people launch your game and let it go.

Jogo muito bom ainda mais quando sabemos que ele foi feito com pouquíssimo recursos e com praticamente 1 pessoa desenvolvendo, parabéns e que você consiga melhorar cada vez mais, estamos esperando o 2. Zerei com 4h na minha primeira gameplay

Nice indie game with some jumpscares. Sometimes it gets a little buggy when you are running from the monster but other than that it was a pretty good game. I have a bad memory so the many rooms (who needs a house that big) and remembering which doors I haven't been to yet took me a bit longer to finish haha. I really loved the look of the house and the paintings! I look forward to the second one! https://clips.twitch.tv/AdventurousSnappyReindeerGingerPower-Mjps0mq1bbCFhKOX

Jogo criado por duas pessoas, indie br de horror bem feito e que você percebe o carinho dos criadores no jogo. Se vc quer tomar uns sustos, apoiar devs brazucas e gosta de arte (jogue pra entender hauehuah), considere Hidden Shelter.

[h1] Так хотелось карнавал, но бюджет ушёл в карман! [/h1] Бразильский ужастик на выживание с кинематографичной графикой, закрученным сюжетом и беспощадными монстрами! Это просто праздник какой-то, настоящий карнавал! Но, видимо, бюджет на разработку игру, её оптимизацию, звуковое сопровождение, - всё ушло в карман главному идеологу, сценаристу и просто хорошему парню Ренару Баррето! Теперь немного фактов. Если бы игра была не так плохо оптимизирована, да и в целом плохо и коряво срежиссирована, то её можно было бы пройти за 1,5 -2 часа. В итоге у меня ушло 3, видимо для того, чтобы не пришлось возвращать за игру деньги. Игра начинается с крайне плохо поставленной и бесполезной катсцены. После неё мы увидим ещё и титры, где в роли местного Цезаря красуется тот самый Ренар Баррето. Всё, что происходит дальше - это и есть главный кошмар игры. Актёры озвучены, но лицевой анимации нет вообще. В 2021 году нет анимации лица! Губы плотно сжаты, видимо, говорят герои через людской пигидий! Озвучены они так, что лучше бы последней вообще не было: актёрам так скучно делать своё дело, как бывает семейной паре спустя 40 лет совместной жизни. Звуковое сопровождение в игре в целом крайне плохое. Нельзя себя позиционировать в пространстве, звук просто валится со всех сторон. Дождь слышно только когда ты подходишь к стенке дома, а на самой улице он часто забывает включиться. С освещением та же беда. Оно может просто пропасть и не включаться. Я напомню, игра сделана на Unreal Engine lol. Игру судя по всему не оптимизировали совсем, она фризит даже там, где только и показывать нечего. По итогу мы получили с вами просто подделку на игру, в которую не интересно играть, смотреть, слушать и читать. Она не способна напугать ни разу, даже очень впечатлительных игроков. Просто пара часов, которые можно смело выкинуть из жизни и забыть, ничего от этого не поменяется. Надеюсь, этот обзор поможет тебе сохранить свои деньги и рассудок, а насколько адекватны мои слова, смотри в полном прохождении этого шедевра на Quzmanplays: https://youtu.be/nDp330RJMRE
