Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? Preface

Игра 'Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? Preface' - это восхитительно садистский платформер. Название говорит само за себя: каждая новая локация - это ловушка смерти, готовая уничтожить вас самым нелепым и неожиданным образом. Сложность зашкаливает, но при этом игра справедлива. Умирать придётся часто, но каждая смерть - это урок, а каждый пройденный уровень приносит огромное удовлетворение. Визуально игра выполнена в простом, но стильном пиксельном арте, который не отвлекает от геймплея, а музыкальное сопровождение идеально подходит под атмосферу напряжённой битвы за выживание. "Preface" – это бесплатное введение, но даже его небольшое количество контента достаточно, чтобы понять, чего ожидать от полной версии. Если вы любите хардкорные платформеры, требующие предельной точности и реакции, и вас не пугают постоянные смерти, то эта игра для вас. Однозначно рекомендую, но предупреждаю: нервы вам потреплет знатно!

✔️ Played 11.20.2025 "Is This Game Trying to Kill Me? Preface" is a creative, niche puzzle game where you’re trapped in a cabin with a creepy monster toying with you, much like the Saw movies. The game challenges you to solve puzzles under the threat of brutal death for every wrong move. What makes the demo stand out is that it’s an independent, fully contained experience rather than just a teaser for the full game. The clever mechanic is how you juggle between a 2D world on a computer and the first-person cabin environment. For instance, you might find a skeleton in the 2D world and then discover it’s missing a head. Once you find the head and place it in the game world, the skeleton in the real world now holds a key, which you use to open a door in the 2D world. The puzzles are fun, as you flip between both dimensions to gradually explore more of the cabin, all while trying to avoid death. Eventually, you reach the treasure world, but... surprise! Death is inevitable anyway. This game is incredibly unique and fun for what it offers, and I'd love to see where it goes in the full version. 4.4 out of 5

[h1]Очередной ВОСЬМИБИТОШНЫЙ топыч!! :D[/h1] Если рассматривать этот приквел как демоверсию, то это ЛУЧШАЯ демка, в которую мне доводилось играть!!! Куплю игру однозначно! Спасибки за отличные 1,5 часа!

5из10

Это лучшая демо версия игры, которую я когда либо играл. С таким кайфом отыграл в эту прекрасную игру. Самый большой плюс демки в том, что она не пересекается с основной игрой и дает игроку вдохнуть идею разработчика. Геймплей реально порадовал, оригинальная головоломка. Визуал очень порадовал глаза. Текстуры мягкие, понятные, мне определенно понравился стиль. Головоломки же сами вполне понятные и не требуют много думать и ломать голову, не приходится лезть в интернет за подсказками. Русский язык от русских разработчиков = плюс в копилку игры. Ребята молодцы! Рекомендую пройти эту версию и купить основную часть игры, что я и сделаю!

Jogo muito criativo, gostei bastante dos puzzles, recomendo. Pena não ter uma legenda em português "PT BR".

"Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? Preface" is is not a game. It's an advertisement for a product called "Is This Game Trying To Kill Me?". Is This Game Trying To Kill Me? is a poorly made "escape room" experimental "game" that badly combines basic escape room puzzling with retro pixelcrap minigames, because Steam doesn't have enough pixelcrap as it is. But this isn't completely relevant because this is not Is This Game Trying To Kill Me?, it's just an advertisment for it, so it's not correct to try to review that completely distinct product. We must instead review this for what it is... an advertisement. If you enjoy advertisements, you can consume them for free on the web or on Youtube without needing to add them to your game library, download them, and then launch the advertising. It's impossible in a general sense to recommend people should do that over playing real, full games on Steam, and that applies here with "Is this Game Trying to Kill Me? Preface" too. The purpose of this advertisement is to get you to shell out a whopping $15 USD on buying Is This Game Trying To Kill Me?, and I don't recommend you do that either. Yeah, they seriously want $15 for pixelcrap. Now on to pricing and value for gamers. As an advertisement, this is only free in the same way that adverts on Youtube and banner ads in your browser are. This is a game demo that's been dumped on Steam to advertise another Steam store page in the hopes of raking in some cash. Just because advertisements are free, doesn't mean they're worth your time. It's important to understand there's a formal process to create a demo/page for a game which hasn't been followed here: https://partner.steamgames.com/doc/store/application/demos While it might seem like an inocuous mistake, publishing demos and advertisements as if they are full games is misleading and in some ways harmful. This advertisement is taking up marketing space and visibility that would be better made available to a developer that's done the right thing and created a full game. Instead, that visibility is given over to a demo/advert that's been published incorrectly and is polluting the marketplace. It's unclear if this mistake was made through incompetence or a deliberate intent to mislead gamers. Often developers may choose to incorrectly publish demo/advertisements as separate games as a cheap way to bypass paying Valve for marketing presence on the Steam front page, which may seem clever to them, but it's harmful behaviour and it's not good for gamers. In terms of public reception, this failed. There's over 130 million unique gamers visiting Steam every month. SteamDB showed the game peaked at [b]only 13 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Advertisements and incorrectly published demos don't add +1 to your game collector count, they aren't full games. It's impossible for me to recommend this incorrectly published advertising spam to gamers, you deserve better than adverts.

Своеобразная и шикарная игра. Интересно сделано играешь в 2д и 3д. Загадки клевые, теперь очередь основной игры

Clever little double game, very short though. Puzzles make sense.
