Review - Overall Negative Map Review: Mansion The Mansion is a HUGE map with several floors to up and down. While I appreciate a good size map, even with 4 players searching it is quite difficult to locate the objects until you done the map a few times. Its good that when you must run from the enemies there's plenty of leg room to put some distance betwen you and the Ghosts. While it has a ton of furniture and paintings, its kinda barren in the same sense of nothing but static models. There are also many areas that are unfinished, or you cannot walk into or pass Gameplay: Negative The Jump scares are okay at best, there's alot of issues with the Microphone causing static, where you must turn down the volume otherwise anytime your next to someone it has feedback. The controls to moving will get stuck and takes a minute or two before you can even move after the opening cutscene. The character models are a bit bland, and need some refinement. One my biggest complaints with these types of games is that there is little to no atmospherics. What i mean by this is that when you have a huge map like this, jumpscares, pacing and the environment needs to make up for finding tasks. If you enter a dining room, have the plates float off the table, if you enter the pool room have a moment where there's a pool of blood and dead bodies, or if your the foyer, have a chandilier fall down and crash next to you. Just small things that make your experience more fun. Right now its just a bunch of hallways, rooms with zero to minimal interections or events at all. Sound - Okay The sound is somewhat better than the visuals and gameplay. However it needs a hell of a lot more than just a recorder playing music, a few creepy sounds. If ghosts and demons haunt these locations pull out some real hardcore eargasm ideas that makes the player uncomfortable. At its current stage, I cannot recommend this game, it needs work, refinement, bug fixes and the overall experience needs to be enhanced.
