In Our Parlor is a small but atmospheric mystery that leans hard into mood and tension. The hand‑crafted environments feel intimate and unsettling, and the slow unraveling of the story keeps you hooked. If you enjoy short narrative games with a strange, personal vibe, this one’s a gem.
My first time playing it softlocked during the intro. the royalty free black and white horror movie on tv (which looked awesome by the way) stopped playing and i was just stuck on the couch. ah well, it happens. My second time I got through the intro, yay! I then turned off the record player in the dream to have no assets or level load in except the fireplace. a fatal error window appears and the game crashes. ah well it happens. My third time the level actually loads. yay! i just walk in a hallway and a big dining room and i see a horse statue. nothing is interactive or interesting and there are no scares and the atmosphere, while there, is not what id call thick. ah well it happens i watch a boring shot of the side of a house in the movie theatre and nothing happens but the music really tries to make me think something is. i leave the movie theater and there is a black screen. nothing changes. i am softlocked on a black screen. i uninstall the game because it doesn't work ah well, it happens.

真不错!!!
This game is a short game, but worth the playthrough. the atmosphere seems dark, but the graphics are done well. Field of view/Depth of Field was semi realistic as well.
This game was free and I still feel like I overpaid. Laughably bad. Are these other reviews for real?!
This game is a calm and tranquil walking simulator that has great sound. Minimal jump scares but that's for atmospheric effect and basis of game. Follow the sounds and you will find what you seek. See my playthrough here: https://youtu.be/OypWHrSFQxA
Dafür, dass es kostenlos ist, ist es ein nettes, kleines Horrorgame.
ummm. What did I just play. It's atmospheric sure, but there is no story, no scares, and it took longer to install than play.
YO
walking sim that does the “things change when you look away” mechanic, was actually pretty decent and pretty seamless in all those transitions. would recommend,
