Ire: A Prologue

Absolutely loved this game, highly recommend for horror fans.

erm guys, the scary monster is right behind me isnt it, what the flip! this is not happening!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 7/10

Fun game so far but I have not played all the way through it yet. My expectations were for a casual mystery point/click type of story and so far I have not been disappointed in that expectation.

Straight up obnoxious

A broken enemy AI that gets stuck, Props glitching about, forced to play one way. I think the paranoia system & subtle map changes per loop were great but with basic gameplay elements lackluster like interact prompts that don't do anything, 3D shadows, etc. no amount of polish on this will makes me want to play more than once. It seems to be a theme of this company to make a slew of mediocre streamerslop and move on.

Honestly the game felt super repetitive and got boring very soon. Not scary at all. Pretty graphics. Story is kinda cool. But i dont even care to finish the game because the gameplay is just so boring. Glad I got this on sale.

The games story is great and the gameplay at the start was fun. I personally don't like looping in games as I see it as a way to make less game but with that aside my issues are these. Really enjoyed the start but I cannot get past level door 9. The monster gets stuck and is endlessly chasing you but cannot catch you. Plus the 3rd pipe was hidden in a place that took me 4 hours to find. It ran well but motion blur was forced on. The big issue was that the power was on and I redone it twice but the game just kept saying it was off. I watched a playthrough to see what I was doing wrong but it turns out that my save was just bugged. Overall I think the game's idea is great and I think with many fix's it could be amazing but as of right now I cannot recommend a broken game that I cannot finish. 3/10 Start was great.

It's a pretty fun game with a pretty spooky monster... at first. The game takes places all on one tiny map. Over time you unlock access to more and more rooms but the size of the map doesn't change much. You can walk from one end to the end in about 30 seconds. You're given different objectives over time that require you to access these new rooms or go through previous rooms. That's all a bit vague, but I don't want to spoil anything. Look at it like a multi hour long escape room. Except there's not really any direct puzzles to solve. You're mainly trying to figure out how to go from room to room while a monster is lurking about. And that's kind of where the problem lies. You're in the same map with the same monster for many hours. It doesn't take long to figure out how the monster works and where all the safe spots are. From that point on the monster is really just an annoyance. Another problem is some of the objectives are a bit absurd. Sometimes you're tasked with finding tiny objects that are hidden throughout the map. It just feels like boring busy work. I wish the game would be more straight forward about where these objects are. I don't need to have my hand hold, but I also don't care to look through every nook and cranny just to find a tiny little something. That once again goes from fun enough to annoying very quickly. Anyway, I still recommend the game simply because it's quite fun. The map is pretty, the voice acting is good, the story is just fine. Just know what you're getting into before purchasing. The game doesn't have any great spectactles, impressive views, clever puzzles, or anything like that. It's a walking simulator in many ways but you're really only walking in circles. Not to mention that this is a prologue so the story is about as inconclusive as it gets. If you're not into the setting and not too into spooky games you're not going to like this one. Nor do I believe it's worth the price without sale. Half the price would have been much more fair. The game took me about 4 hours to beat.
