Living Nightmares - False Familiar

Onda Fears to Fathom, está bueno

"Living Nightmares - False Familiar" is a low key asset flip, a bunch of other people's assets assembled badly to make a basic game, typically this kind of thing is done by amateur developers without sufficient budget, talent and/or staff to do the job of game development professionally. It's then quickly rushed into Steam Direct. And, unsurprisingly, this never results in a product with any quality, interest, or value for gamers. Once more an amateur "developer" has ripped off a bunch of Unity assets from the Unity Asset Store and dumped them on a first person horror jumpscare adventure game blueprint/template. At least he's not trying to get paid for plagiarising someone else's assets... regardless, lazy asset flips have no value compared to real, genuinely made games and this is no exception. Take on the role of a 15 year old boy, at which point your decision making ability will be diminished to the point where you actually think it's okay to steal other people's game assets and put your own name on them, then publish them on Steam Direct. Wander around a spooOOooky Unity asset flipped house. Uninstall quickly. This is a waste of space. So, the game might look better than you'd expect from an amateur project, but this is because it's partially or completely made up of stock assets, "borrowed" from asset stores and free asset websites. Very little in this game is truly the creation of the "developer", it's just a bunch of rearranged assets. While there's no up front price for this asset flip, the other problem with asset flips is that when developers aren't capable of doing their job and creating high quality assets, it's also true they can't do any of the rest of the job of a game developer either. That's definitely true for "Living Nightmares - False Familiar". Now on to pricing and value for gamers. This is "free" enough (not every "free" game in the "free" section is truly free, there's usually some hidden price tag), at least you won't be expected to spend any more money after you download this, but just because something is free doesn't mean it's good, and the cost of a game is more than just financial, your time is valuable too. 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 11 concurrent players[/b]... this is a dismal public reception. This was so bad they couldn't even give it away. Given that this free title won't increase your game collector count, is it worth your time to add it to your library? This is a hard pass. There's no immediate financial commitment, but there are thousands of more compelling games on the platform that will give you a lot more enjoyment for your time.
