前半有点吓人,后半云里雾里,解密要素很迷,大量重复性吓人要素导致已经不可怕了,到后面只想赶紧通关,好痛苦,一点也不吓人了。像是两小时就能退款所以强行把游戏市场拉到三小时一样。不推荐。
没有跳脸、氛围感营造的很好。很不错的一部恐怖游戏。
当年非常优秀的一款恐怖步行模拟器,有寂静岭PT的感觉,这五款游戏我10年前就玩了,今天上来给补个好评。应该在恐怖步行模拟器这个品类里算是一个里程碑式的游戏了。
esta muy bien
Very good game :D
[h1]层层套房[/h1] 剧情就是主角回家面对过往的故事,有多结局 流程就是开门,解密,找东西,画画 本作最大的特色就是每次开门进房间都有些新的东西和表现形式,第一次玩还是很惊艳的 恐怖元素我认为基本除了追逐全都有了,不过总体还是注重恐怖氛围,不是那种重度恐怖 个人认为dlc解密比本体难度高一点点 音乐也很不错 可能就是2周目会失去点新鲜感吧 总体还是值得一玩的
这款游戏并不能让我感到多么好玩,事实上,很多文本没有中文翻译,甚至连机翻都没有,这导致沉浸感大大下降。地图中充满大量不能打开的门,仅仅作为装饰而存在。启动钢琴之后让地下室的桌椅飞起来看似是个有意思的设计,但是紧随其后的昏暗,充满障碍物的场景让人难以寻找方向。总的来说,这是一次令人难受的游戏体验
this was my first horror game that i ever finished, and i'm really glad i picked it. layers of fear is precious to me and its super iconic. the atmosphere is incredible. it constantly kept me on edge without ever feeling overwhelming. there were plenty of moments where i was genuinely scared, but it always felt like the game was building tension instead of just relying on cheap jump scares. the visuals, sound design, and overall style all come together really well to create an unsettling experience that sticks with you. i never knew what was going to happen next, and that sense of uncertainty kept me hooked until the end. even though i was scared for a good part of the game, i had a great time with it. if you've been wanting to get into horror games but aren't sure where to start, i'd say this is a pretty good place to begin. it was for me, and it made me want to play even more horror games afterward.
Игра проходится довольно быстро. Первые 2–3 часа она отлично держала в напряжении: атмосфера была очень мрачной и цепляющей, постоянно ощущалось чувство тревоги и неизвестности. Со временем я привыкла к этой обстановке, поэтому страшно уже не было так сильно. Иногда было непонятно, что нужно делать дальше, но для подобных игр это вполне нормально. В целом впечатления остались очень положительные, я не пожалела, что прошла её.
Прикольный и приятный глазу психологический хоррор на один разок Сложность ачивхантинга 2/10 ( все спокойно делается по гайду )
