La Villa de la Muerte

"La Villa de la Muerte" looks fantastic but it's a train wreck in terms of design and playability. What happened here, a bunch of really talented graphic designers and 3D modelers got together and made fantastic game assets and then failed to make a game with them... ah, of course, this is a basic asset flip (although, the developer doesn't seem to be trying to profit from the work of others here). I'm not sure why people seem to think putting their own name on other people's game assets will make them into rockstar game developers with EA, Bethesda and Bioware lining up around the block to hire them. Anyway this is a poorly made first person asset flipped horror game, it's thankfully short but you may not be able to finish it. Not because it's hard, but because it's a buggy train wreck that can softlock you out of the game progression because they never bothered to test it. The game graphics look better than you might expect, but that's just because it looks like some or all of them are "borrowed" from asset stores or wherever. Gamers can tell... and it comes across as insincere. There's also the old adage that those who lack the budget and talent to make their own game assets usually lack the budget and talent to do the rest of the job of game development properly, too. Not every "free" game really is. There's often MTX, or content locked behind DLC, or donations being requested, or any other number of things that could mislead gamers, but in this case I'm glad to say this really does appear to be a fully free game. Nothing demonstrates a developers belief in themselves and their work than giving it away without any remuneration. This is a service to themselves, and the gaming industry, and should be applauded. Of course, just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean it's valuable. Even though this is "free", it failed to appeal to the 120 million+ gamers on Steam. SteamDB showed the game peaked at only 13 concurrent players... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Bearing in mind that free games don't add +1 to your game collector count, should you bother adding this to your library and downloading it? Nope. This isn't worth downloading. While this didn't cost me any money up front, I still feel ripped off.

I feel the bits where you are put back at the start and have to walk forward again take too much of the tension away from the game. It's decent, but it also both super leads the player to where they need to go and also gives them so little of the story that they're guessing. MY GUESS was that Veronica (the mother) cheated on Ricardo (the father) who refused to accept the twins as his own, due to the infidelity. Not bad, but not great either. Good thing it is free.

I liked the visuals aside from a few things here and there but the issue is that it locks you out of finishing the game due to necessary items being impossible to pick up. fun idea poor execution. could be fixed with work from devs

Nope. This is not even a game. No story, weird sounds, bugged textures, a crappy monster. https://youtu.be/DQcOgXZn7K0

Игра 'La Villa de la Muerte' оставила довольно смешанные впечатления. С одной стороны, атмосфера заброшенного поместья, окутанного мрачными тайнами, выполнена на отлично. Визуальное оформление и звуковое сопровождение действительно создают ощущение тревоги и напряжения. Сюжет, поначалу кажущийся банальным, постепенно затягивает, раскрывая все более запутанные и зловещие детали. Однако, геймплей оставляет желать лучшего. Загадки часто кажутся притянутыми за уши и нелогичными, а управление не всегда отзывчиво. Персонажи, за исключением, пожалуй, главного злодея, получились довольно картонными и не вызывают особой эмпатии. К тому же, игра страдает от технических недочетов: иногда встречаются баги и просадки FPS, что портит общее впечатление. В целом, 'La Villa de la Muerte' – это неплохая хоррор-адвенчура, которая может понравиться любителям мрачных историй и решения головоломок. Но стоит быть готовым к некоторым шероховатостям в геймплее и технической реализации. Если вас не пугают такие недостатки, то игра вполне способна увлечь на несколько часов.

何度も屋敷をループする1人称視点3Dホラーゲーム。短編作品です。 日本語未対応ですが、フリーゲームであり、適度に追い回されるので楽しく遊べました。 一見何をすればいいのかわからないと思っても、どこかに赤く光っている場所があるので、結果的に迷うことなく進めます。 [spoiler] ストーリー自体は、断片的に提示されるゲーム内の情報からプレイヤーが推測する形なので、エンディングの意味など、もやもやする人は一定数いると思います。 [/spoiler]
