Ironically this game has already been condemned to fade into obscurity alongside the hundreds of other asset flipped horror games that find their way onto Steam. I’m only assuming this is an asset flip because the maps are mostly empty and poorly designed, and there are rooms and buildings that serve no purpose. There is also a lack of cohesion which you can check out in my first impressions video. https://youtu.be/SSfXM73RLrc I will give the game some credit for its attempts at storytelling, and for doing something other than jump scares and page collection. Unfortunately what we get instead is a hodgepodge of genres and themes, all poorly implemented. The story is fairly intriguing and the Spanish voice acting is better than I’d expect from a F2P horror game, but it’s not worth enduring the insipid gameplay to hear it. EDIT The dev has apparently fixed some of the issues I found/had whilst I was playing, which is good to hear. This isn't the attitude I've come to expect from unknown steam devs when their games are criticised. I find it refreshing.
My play through: https://youtu.be/7IqdQH5cNNs My positive review for this game comes from the fact that I appreciate the effort and that it is free. It is also clear that the dev cares and listens to the people that play this game. Although I didnt finish it, I can say the pieces I did play did need some work which is what ultimately turned me away from finishing it. I also think the voice acting should have the option to be turned off because it took away from me reading the captions since I do not know Spanish all that well. Interested to see how it is updated in the future!

[h1]KOSTENLOS[/h1] "John:Condemned" ist ein kostenloses First-Person psychologisches Horror-Spiel. Wir sind John. John ist ein Mörder. Ein Mörder, der schon in jungen Jahren zum Mörder erzogen wurde. Aber er will Schluß machen mit alledem. Er will sich befreien. Die Seelen derer, die er auf dem Gewissen hat, haben allerdings etwas dagegen... Wir müssen uns also durch mehrere Level bewegen, ziemlich langsam übrigens, selbst wenn wir sprinten, und einen Schlüssel finden oder auch mal einen magischen Würfel und auch mal kurze Hüpf-Passagen überstehen. Wir sind in einem Wald, einem Labor, einem futuristisch wirkenden mechanischen Raum. Dazu gibt es spanische Sprecher mit englischen Untertiteln, die versuchen eine Art Geschichte zu entfalten. Und da fängt das Spiel sogar an, seine Kreativität zu zeigen. Auch wenn die Sprecher ziemlich unprofessionell erscheinen, sind die Ideen, die dahinterstecken, doch recht interessant. Das Problem ist nur, daß die Umsetzung der guten Ideen verdammt amateurhaft und ungekonnt daherkommt. Bis hin dazu, daß das Spiel ab einem gewissen Punkt einfach nicht weitergeht, bzw. immer wieder auf den Anfang des Levels springt. Da braucht man die vielen anderen Unzulänglichkeiten wie die unsichtbaren Wände gar nicht mehr anführen. Und auch wenn die Atmosphäre nicht schlecht ist, die Grundidee was hat und das Game kostenlos ist, so ist doch das Ergebnis zu schwach, zu ungekonnt als daß eine Empfehlung möglich wäre.

This game changed my life. Before I played this I was a 30 year old no-life whose wife left him for a younger man with a bigger ♥♥♥♥. Then JohnCondemned came into my life. This game changed me so much that when my ex-wife saw me again she remarried me on the spot. It got me a promotion at my job. It gave me extra inches. This game, no, this work of art has such immensely beautiful voice acting, world building, graphics and gameplay that it will instantly transform anyone who plays into the best version of them that they can be. Thank you, John. Thank you for being Condemned.
The voice acting quality was REALLY good. High quality. The game was not sadly. Missed potential on some stuff.

Слава богу, что игра бесплатная. Короче, сюжет: главного героя, Джона, пристрелили, и он должен выбраться не то из ада, не то из чистилища с помощью какого-то мужика, похожего на маньяка. Первая локация - это какая-то непонятная лаборатория, где под конец на протагониста вылетит местный доктор. В принципе, это и озвучка - два плюса - остальное - какой-то треш. Я сломалась на следующей локации - нужно бегать по лесу из елей, папоротников и берёз и сжигать бумажных человечков (наверное, потому что делать тут больше нечего). Лес зелёный, человечки тоже. А рядом будет постоянно ржать какой-то голос. Звуковой дизайн тут тоже какой-то странный: если ты слышишь, что рядом что-то булькает - это не горячие источники и не щи, а колодец. Там Джон кого-то утопил. Почему колодец булькает как горячая еда? Не знаю. Однако играть в это не рекомендую.
This game, by all measures, should be considered to be absolute garbage. The graphics are horrible, the controls are floaty and clunky. But despite how miserable of an experience this has been for me and my friends, I can't help but feel like some actual passion and effort went into this. This game is NOT a good game, but it is NOT soulless. The story is... intriguing. The voice acting is PHENOMENAL. Its short, and free, and its definitely an experience. I think this game is worth experiencing.
