Hush

Hush is a neat little indie game that I immediately fell in love with the art style, but I sadly cannot really give any sort of proper review on this game because it is not that by any means. The game in its current state is a demo. No, I am not being overly harsh, but it does say “start demo” on the main screen, being a rather short 15 minutes. The opening animations do seem to imply some type of story, so without context we do not have anything to really follow. Movement is a little stiff but not difficult to navigate, and combat is not the best, as it is essentially moving back and forth and hitting once or twice before moving back again. That aside, it looks like the game would contain some small puzzles, I cannot say much besides the above, and it looks like there was a full game released based on the screenshots and videos, but looking at the announcements seems to imply that during the change of ownership something happened to revert back the game to an incomplete state. Verdict: 0/10 If you enjoyed this review please follow our curator [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/9673931/]here![/url]

This game has some of the worst controls I have suffered in recent memory which is a shame because the concept is definitely there to impress. You jump between third person sections in which tapping either the A or D key will send the camera ballistic, circling you like a desert buzzard, and an isometric top down view which is a little better except when you're in combat. Which is mostly. I get that some games are better with a pad but that shouldn't be a free license to just make the game unplayable in WASD. That's like if I bought a cereal that suggested it was 'Better with full fat milk' but then I ate it with semi-skimmed because it was all I had and it gave me syphilis. I can take a challenge. I thrive on them but in a game where walking in the dark (which you have NO choice but to do at several points) drains your already meagre life bar before you even reach the first enemies (six in a room, about five hits to kill at close range, will beat the freckles off of you whether you dodge or not), the challenge doesn't come from competent design. It comes from the saint-like patience you require not to throw your keyboard through the screen. I've tried to demonstrate it as best as I can below.

I hate to give a thumbs down but... I was enjoying it in the beginning so much, but then it just went downhill from there... experiencing bugs, difficult maneuvering, confusion over controls... here's the gist of what I think: Storyline: It had potential. I was very hooked on what was going on and why things were happening the way they were, but there no progression to the story. The little girl (whose name I still don't know) walks around fighting off barrel monsters, flying books, and suitcase things, but this portion of the game did not tell me what the heck was happening! Also, the game was SO SHORT... If I evaded all monsters and progressed through the story, it honestly could be finished in half an hour, if not less. Worth $10?! Rating: 6/10 August 6 update: The little girl's name can now be found by interacting with a few of the kids in the beginning. Gameplay/controls: DIFFICULT. The developer is adding an update tomorrow (July 31) on an improvement for controls, but both keyboard and joystick (I used a ps3 controller) modes were not the greatest. I'd say keyboard mode would be easier overall, since you can only use one analog stick to move AND look around. However, you can't LOOK around when you're using the keyboard mode (at least, I didn't find a way to). There were a few objects in-game that you could simply walk right through, so there's a few bugs there as well. ---Fighting monsters: There is not enough area of effect for your attacks! You have to get RIGHT in the monster's face to deal damage, while their AOE is noticeably larger. The flying books were also a huge nuisance. Maybe it was my style of attacking, but I got hit at least once every time I attempted to knock down those monsters. Rating: 3/10 Graphics: I LOVED THE ANIMATIONS, especially the cutscenes, it was beautiful! The gameplay graphics were okay, but there's nothing I would call out and say "that sucked". This is probably the best feature of this game. Rating: 8/10 Overall: Needs quite a bit of work. I'm aware the game will continue later on (PLEASE DO NOT CHARGE MONEY FOR THE NEXT PART...), but I think the gameplay needs severe work and the story needs to develop more. Why is this happening, who am I controlling, WHERE AM I GOING?! I would say try it out for yourself if you don't think this review is helpful, but I don't think it's worth $10 for a game that could realistically be finished in half an hour or less. This is about 5.7/10 for me. A two-part gameplay: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLD3gv7-1w7ESKc_oQZ8x0QG5Mf4VT7qvG

[h1][i] 개발자도 못깨는 난이도인데 도대체 누가 즐기라고 만든건지? [/i][/h1] [h1]장점[/h1] +애니풍 컷씬 +어둠의 활용법 [h1]단점[/h1] -상상을 뛰어넘는 개적화 -너무 어려운 난이도 -미완성 [h1]주의점[/h1] 게임이 미완성 상태로 업데이트가 2015년 8월경 끊겼습니다. [h1]사담[/h1] 게임은 전체적인 분위기나 스토리텔링 방법등 제 기준으로는 인디게임으로 판매할만한 선은 넘었습니다. 분위기만 어두운게 아니라 어두운 지역을 가면 주인공이 겁에 질려 느려지고 체력이 점점 깍이는 것과 애니풍 컷씬으로 스토리를 진행시키는 것도 특색으로 느껴져 나쁘지 않았습니다. 그러나 문제가 좀 많네요. 우선 깰 수 없을 정도로 게임이 어렵습니다. 적의 공격 판정이 플레이어보다 좋아서 어떤 적이든 잡는 방법은 1대치고 도망, 히트 앤 런을 반복하는 방법밖에 없습니다. 적이 항상 1:2혹은 그 이상 구도라서 스테이지 시작부분까지 도망치며 전투를 해야합니다. 차라리 도망만이 유일한 수단이고 공포게임들처럼 퍼즐로 진행하는 방식이었다면 훨씬 좋았을 것 같습니다. 게다가 상상을 뛰어넘는 개적화 역시 게임을 방해합니다. 옵션을 어떻게 설정하든 화면이 바뀌면 메모리가 뻥튀기됩니다. 메모리가 점점 증가하지만 게임을 끄지 않는 이상 올라간 메모리는 내려오지 않기때문에 프리징현상을 겪게 됩니다. 거기에 게임이 정식 출시 게임임에도 미완성 및 개발 의지가 없는 점은 단점들중 최악의 단점이네요. 방향성과 최적화, 미완성 문제만 해결되면 추천줄만한 게임이지만 이 3가지는 1년이 지나도 해결되지 않은 방치된 게임이기 때문에 비추천합니다.

The combat is pretty horrible because it takes so long to attack, especially in a combo, and that's coupled with the fact that there are so many monsters you have to fight regarless of whether you can have the willpower to try and make it to a save point because they reset after you heal/save. There are also a few bugs that are pretty serious to the gameplay like losing the ability to dodge roll and running around in the darkness as you would normally in the light (you are supposed to be slowed in the dark), leaving the game via alt + tab glitches the game to the point where you have to exit it to be able to play it again, and if you happen to accidently talk to someone while running away from a monster it kills you because you have to finish the dialouge before you can even move again. In conclusion, the atmosphere created by the great graphics are completely smothered by the tedious gameplay and many bugs.

Great game, needed improvements and the developers worked really fast on them! I'm impressed and hope to see more games from this studio now. I'm changing my review to a positive because i think these improvements (patch 1.04) will really work but if i may add something...(i know, i know "chato to caracas!" but i was a tester before ;)) Observations: 1.i think the tweaks you did on the roll option are stopping me from rolling randomly (when i press space and directional key) even though its much more controlled now so well done...i recommend checking if you can roll whenever you want (im playing keyboard so..that might be why). 2.it happened to me a few times that even though i still had a "full life" (2 hits) i got hit once and died right away (when i die i see the girl shaking in a buggy way by the way, might want to look into the animation there). In Any case here are the POSITIVES: the new camera at the intro works brilliantly and the "chase scene" is even more clear now with the camera view from above and much more intuitive as to what needs to be done to delay the chaser.! also i saw you stopped the "auto walking" thing so BRAVO! Also love that you increased the lives available as it makes it a lot less frustrating :) (i'm a casual gamer, i get it, i just dont have the time to be hardcore gamer anymore...) MY ORIGINAL REVIEW BELOW (this was with patch1.03 and now most are FIXED with 1.04) Bought it cause im all for supporting Portuguese gaming efforts, but really this needs improvement still. I liked it but here are my comments for those playing with a keyboard: [FIXED]-camera rotates too fast and does not "dodge" obstacles (example when crossing a door it goes through the wall frame rather than avoiding it by leaning down and remaining behind the character [FIXED-or at least greatly improved]-difficulty level is "high"? for a beginner at least i got easily killed [FIXED, as far as i can see] maybe cause the "roll" option keeps jamming you against objects so i couldnt really avoid those barrels by rolling). [didnt' have to repeat cinematics yet, so didn't see this key]-is there a key to skip cinematics? i just started playing and had to watch the big fat kid by the window turned zombie 4 times cause i couldn't skip it. [FIXED]-character keeps moving even if you're not pressing any keys (suggestion: fix the animation on the character). [FIXED without needing to touch the object animations- as with the new camera this now looks way greater and more intuitive! WELL DONE]-floating objects in the initial running scene first appeared to me as a bug, until i realised thats how they were supposed to be - floating (small suggestion, make them move slightly up and down, left and right or rotating in the air to give the illusion that they are really floating). Good to see Portugal showing up on the game map once again.

Challenging in a very bad way, worst controls ever Avoid for your own sanity, and the safety of your gamepad

Considering this game was developed by a small company, with little work members, and it is their first game (!), I have to say this is a great game. Some of the good aspects are : .Beautiful Graphics .Good Soundtrack .Interesting concept and story .Challenging difficulty level Not so good aspects are : .Some bugs (and the company is working to clean these out) .The controls are not the usual WASD type, although you can get used to them if you practise some time Overall, I recommend this game :) It's a good experience

The game isnt expensive and it's from a small indie developer so I don't expect a goty.. The storyline and the idea of this game are fun and the graphics are decent. Graphics: 6/10 Controls: 3/10 Storyline: 7/10 Price in comparison with game quality: 7/10 bugs/glitches: 9/10 This game get's a 6,4 out of 10 from me. I was just so frustrated with the keyboard keys... They where not smooth and my playstation 4 controller wasn't supported.. Overall opinion: If you really love indie games i'd say go for it but if you are a sort of neutral gamer(who isn't really that much into indie games) then I wouldn't recommend this game.

I think this game is playable, but to much BUG, example : a monster, moving, controller with joystick... Please correct the BUG, so i believe the people want this game...
