Incoming Evil

Incoming Evil is a fairly basic Unreal Marketplace asset flipped first person horror adventure, one of many hundreds, if not thousands of these glutting Steam. The "developer" paid for/pirated a few Unreal Marketplace assets, arranged them haphazardly in a first person adventure game template, and submitted it to Valve as if they're real game developers. It's your usual "go through spooky dark asset flipped environments and get jumpscared" kind of adventure game. There's seriously a hundred or so of these on Steam, all alike. They're easy to put together and can easily decieve gamers looking for professionally made games into thinking it's something much better than it is. This is no exception. Two notable criteria for what makes an asset flip instead of legitimate use of stock assets are whether those assets comprise the majority of the game, and whether the "developer" properly credited the people who created most of the assets in the game. This game fails both of those tests. The "developers" here didn't credit any of the artists and real, actual game developers who created the assets here, so this is plagiarism, as well as cash grab shovelware. Taking this shovelware seriously as if it was a genuine attempt to make a game, it doesn't meet basic minimum requirements that most PC gamers expect as standard. It's been translated really badly from some other language into English... Google Translate should be ashamed of itself. There's no option to change the resolution and no useful graphics tweaks. There's no way to ensure this is running at the native resolution of your display. There's no guarantee this game will look right on any PC as a result of this hamfisted design decision. The controls can't be customised, which will be an annoyance for many, but it can also render the game unplayable for differently-abled gamers, left handed gamers or gamers using AZERTY or other international keyboard layouts. These technical defects push this game below acceptable standards for any modern PC game. The poor quality of this game is reflected by how many people spent time with it. At the time of this review, SteamDB shows the all-time peak player number was only 3 players. This is a remarkably low number, and now, the only player activity occurs once or twice a month, presumably someone loading it up to see what it is then quickly uninstalling it. Considering there's over 120 million gamers on Steam and well over 100,000 games for gamers to choose from, the overwhelming lack of interest in this low quality game is to be expected. So, should you buy this game? Is this one of the best of the 100,000+ games on Steam? Incoming Evil is relatively cheap at $2 USD, but it's not worth it. Given the defects and quality issues with the game, coupled with the unrealistic price, this is impossible to recommend. This is also competing with over 11,000 free games available on Steam, many of them far better than this paid product. [quote][b][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/marketing/profile]Profile Features Limited![/url][/b] Valve have marked this game as "Profile Features Limited" at the time of this review. This is usually caused by poor sales figures and low community acceptance for the game (to date). Until this status changes, this game will not give you +1 to your Game Collector badge count, appear in profile achievements or any other Steam meta-accomplishments, nor can it be displayed in some profile showcases. If these factors are important to you, it may be worth holding off before buying this game.[/quote] [quote][url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Response![/url][/quote]The developer has weighed in to inform everyone they didn't read the [url=https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/reviews]Developer Usage Rules[/url] for Steam "partners", or they deliberately ignored the part where Valve says: [quote]Though it may be tempting, not every review needs to be responded to. A developer response will frequently draw more attention than the original statement, potentially turning a small issue into a much larger community discussion. It's also not a good idea to use this feature to refute customer opinions. Your direct attention can be seen as validation or a defensive attempt to silence your customers.[/quote] The developer brazenly, arrogantly admits their guilt. This is an asset flip. It fails both tests: 1. Are the majority of assets in the game from asset stores? [b]Yes[/b] 2. Has the developer tried to claim credit for assets he didn't create? [b]Yes[/b] This is the epitome of a Digital Homicide style asset flip, lazy pollution. It's wrong to take the work of others and put your name on it. It's wrong to try to mislead gamers this way. Plagiarism, the act of deliberately and wilfully trying to claim the work of others as your own, as the "developer" here has just confessed, is ethically and morally bankrupt. If this was a motion picture, and the developer stole footage or work from other, more professional filmmakers, if he avoided appearing in court from the inevitable lawsuits, he'd never work in the industry again. Why is this permitted in the gaming industry where every other form of media strictly and aggressively forbids it? It's a mystery... but the effects of plagiarism are harmful in any industry, from music, literature, film, and yes, gaming, too. This unethical asset flipping is harmful to gamers and to genuine indie developers who do the right thing. It gives indie developers a bad name. Nothing in the developers pointless breach of Valve guidelines changes any of the objective facts of my review. My review stands unaltered. I cannot recommend this asset flip to anyone. Edit: The developer is now apparently stalking me and feverishly reading through all of my reviews in a desperate attempt to somehow deny the objective facts of my review. If I deleted every single one of my other reviews, or changed them all to positive, would this crap asset flip suddenly be an ethical production, that doesn't feature store assets the developer was claiming to be his? No... my other reviews have no bearing on the fact that this is an asset flip. The developer admits he used other people's work, admits he never credited them, thus tacitly claiming their work as his own. The developer defends his act of plagiarism which is harmful to gamers and the gaming industry. Gamers, you've seen the facts and the developers arrogant defense of his plagiarism in this asset flip. As always, I just report the facts. You be the judge.

O primeiro susto a gente nunca esquece! Essa frase poderia muito bem definir Incoming Evil, um jogo simples e curto de terror; mais que deixa marcas. A duração do game é de apenas uns 30 minutos no máximo, fazendo-o parecer uma demo. Mais o que tem de curta, a experiência tem de proveitosa; ela sabe tirar proveito de sua ambientação e de suas mecanicas; O grande destaque é as fotos que você coleta, que ajuda a decifrar códigos ea saber o que esta rolando. Quem quer começa no genero terror, é uma boa pedida; Simples e direto ao que o genero tem de melhor. para antigos fãs do genero, não há muito para se ver e isso talvez frustre. O Final é bem xoxinho, mais de resto é um jogo 100% a mais na conta.

Good game but short, well worth the money! 9/10, Thanks :-)

A very short horror/puzzle games. Standard stuff, some items to fetch. Codes to find , and a few jumpscares in between. It's functional and cheap.

I'm not quite sure how I feel about this game. The story is almost nonexistent to the point that I had actually forgotten there was a point to the game. The game opens up with some dialogue text between a retired detective and an officer. After that, the story relies on notes, but the notes are very vague and don't really explain all that much; however, I still did get the gist of it. The goal may have been mysterious and intrigue, which can work, but it wasn't executed very well. The graphics were okay, but the rain effects were weird to look at. The sounds were okay, but a major plus was that there was no annoying or distracting music in the background. I only experienced one minor bug in the game with the journal not updating properly. Clicking on "begin new adventure" takes some time before the game loads, which is weird and confused me at first. Text on the notes is extremely small, making it hard to read with no option to make the text font bigger. Items can be hard to pick up and even crouching doesn't always work. There is no brightness control but it's bright enough to see (the dev had increased the brightness in the last update, I guess). There is no volume control, which thankfully, the game doesn't really require it (there are no loud annoying jump scare noises). There also isn't a window option, although alt+enter does work but not adjustable. The game has quite a few typos and grammar issues, and with a story told only by text, it is really important. Some of the typos threw me off completely (such as "deserme", which I guess they could have meant "deserve"?). I noticed one bit of dialogue that made no sense, unless the character knew more than the player (clicking on a shotgun has the character saying that someone must have killed themselves with it, but the note in the same room does not give the vibe of a suicide note). Overall, I do have a lot of things against the game (the typos/grammar errors being the biggest flaw along with a weak story) but I didn't hate the game. It is a short game with some light jumpscares. I would definitely get this game only when it's on sale. So, would I recommend this game? Sure, if you want a short, quick game or a lighter scary game. I just wouldn't expect much from the game.

Played on Linux using Proton-GE, Needed Proton-GE for the Video Tape to work on the TV, Graphics are nice other the Rain Effects outside with the flash light on, Sound is pretty Good, Gameplay is good, And does have a few Jump Scares, I bought this on sale but still worth the money at the cheap full price, Took me just over an hour and did need to look at a guide twice, but the guide i looked at had different Gameplay, like having a gun to shoot a switch/lever, for me the door was open and i just need to pull the switch/lever, also has health pill's but no health pill's in my Gameplay?, But what i was stuck on was still the same (door codes). Over all i Recommend this game if you bored of running from monsters and just want an easy'ish paced Horror Story Game.

You need to understand something. There is in truth a second type of awful for measuring the awfulness of a Horror game. ("So bad it's good" aside.) Our understanding of it will differ based on our standards. Good: Enriching and stand-out experience worth experiencing. Bad: Throw away, bad, broken and simply a product of bad quality that fails at the above mentioned. Simplistic/Scare meal: It's designed to try and be just good enough to have working scare tricks up it's sleeve... for... scariness sake... And for these I feel there is a broad audience in-between experience and higher entertainment seekers. That is often dismissed when writing critical reviews. Unfortunately for this product in question, I fall into the latter and thus have to give it a thumbs down. But... I do hope the dev eventually learns to produce something that I'd find a worthwhile experience. Because scare meals will always exist and be made to always BE plentiful for people looking for a casual and quick thrill.

It is a decent game. Runs well, has nice graphics, played at ultra. The story is somewhat ok, nothing special, fun reading notes, finding keys etc.... Good puzzles and fun with the camera, typical staff, but also nothing new. But if you get the game on sale its worth, I think i paid like 0.30$

Joguinho zika, podia ser maior
