Long Night

The game has a nice concept and the horror elements are actually creepy, however that's about all it has. The thing I hate the worst about this game are the insta-deaths and dark rooms. Most of the rooms that you have to navigate through are pitch-black. Save points occur rarely, but can be used multiple times. Save EVERY time you see one because you never know when something will come at you and insta-kill you. I really enjoyed the horror elements, but the gameplay and visuals were not appealing at all. Also, it's been a very long time and we still haven't seen an episode 2. Through most of the game you have to explore to figure out what you're doing, however around almost every corner is something that is looking to kill you. It seems very counter-intuitive and makes the exploration not fun. The tricky camera angles ruin the 3rd person camera view. You'll be trying to interact with a specific object, but the camera keeps switching. This makes it an absolute pain to interact/find certain things.

Don't do it. Got it for $.99 thinking it's just a dollar. That money would have been better off in the trash. Controls are terrible, gameplay in general is crap. It's 2016 and there's no episode 2 for obvious reasons. Ain't worth it.

The controls felt weird and broken for the most part. I couldn't sit for more than 15 minutes a session but I can see some potential there. Sadly it felt incomplete to me.

Not recommended. Could dig the oldschool survival horror in general, if the execution weren't so terrible. If you still want to get it, note that this is only episode 1, and there is no continuation after the cliffhanger ending of this VERY short episode. The premise is classic and compelling - haunted camping grounds, Native American ghost legends, with a nice dose of personal psychological horrors the character/s has/have to deal with. A camping trip with friends, a local urban legend, a spooky dare gone wrong, and our protagonist finds himself alone and scared, looking for his friends and hunted and haunted by a ghostly woman. So far, so good. The added effect of monitoring the protagonist's fear-level and dealing with his asthma (?) to reduce it seems a nice touch, but lacks in effects and ends up looking more like a poor attempt to emulate similar elements from better games. The gameplay suffers primarily from stiff, occasionally bugged controls and repetitive elements. While I don't mind the often surprising and - with a few unintentionally comical exceptions - rather unforgiving attacks and opportunities to die so much, given that it's rare you'll make too much progress without coming across a save point (use those whenever you see them - you'll often backtrack to older ones, but there aren't that many in the game), I do mind their unoriginality. A few "bad choice" deaths and a slightly more interesting though very railroaded boss fight notwithstanding, the primary threat is the aforementioned ghost woman, who will upon your entering an area occasionally appear, scream, and begin to chase you down. Once or twice you may be lucky and she will disappear before reaching you (she also seems unable to enter certain areas, making it easy for you to lose her depending on your positioning) but for the most part she will insta-kill you upon reaching you. To evade her, you may simply dodge into one of the designated hide spots, and it is generally very easy to lose her, unless you happen to be badly positioned, such as trapped by a dead end. The game therefore presents mostly frustration-deaths, forcing you to backtrack a little and try again, hoping for a better angle this time. The faulty controls may also do you a disservice here if you enter an area from the wrong side and directions are mirrored until you let go of your movement keys for a moment. Not so convenient when you're running for your life. My greatest problem with the game is, however, that it is insultingly short. Yes, even for the price, even for an "episode 1". If you're an idiot like me and need forever to understand that no, you really can't/shouldn't taunt the ghost and lead her on a merry chase, you may spend up to two hours on it. I like trying things out, and I can be stubborn when I think a boss fight should work the way I want it to work, what can I say - entirely my fault. But more than likely, you will be done much quicker. All in all, there was some real potential for an indy game here. I don't mind the rough edges such as some (!) issues with the controls, the mediocre graphics, or the nostalgia feeling of a somewhat rough and tumble, simple third personal survival game. But with the complete lack of conclusion or real explanation of the setting (you may piece it together from notes you find, if you care to read them all), the short duration, and the additional flaws of repetitive gameplay and stiff, buggy controls, I can't even use nostalgia as an excuse to recommend it. You may think "It's only five bucks!" or "It's on sale!" but for that money, you'll be left with what feels like nothing but the barest prologue to a game. I'd completely change my mind if it were finished, but it isn't, and from the looks of it it won't be, so I can't recommend this game. To the developers, it'd be prudent to finish the game and move away from the episodic release. For everybody who has already bought your game, they have already overpaid for it. Not that I imagine that will happen, but here are my two cents.

As one of the people in chat said as I was streaming this "Long night. More like short night" I completed this in less than an hour. Honestly the game isn't bad but it's insanely short. There is the office that you can go to which is optional but after a couple puzzles I could only find some more story elements and 'plot twists' Correct me if I'm wrong but out of a group of friends you go to the camp with. You only find one. It turns into a mess. And then the game ends abruptly. I was just sitting there thinking "What just happened. Was that really the end?" Mainly because of how short it was. I was expecting at least another hour or 2 of gameplay but no. You save one of your friends. (Or something. Idk. The game turns into an utter mess less than 20 mins in) And then The end. Main menu. I get that this is only Episode one but still. For the price being asked. A sup par game with less than an hour gameplay just isn't worth it in my opinion. If when all the episodes come out you can get them in a bundle for cheap then sure. Maybe all 3 episodes will satisfy my approval. But rn. It's way too short for the price especially for just one episode

The people making the game went out of business, so Episode 2 will, to my knowledge, never be released. So if you are looking for a game which will eventually be updated or even finished, look elsewhere. Episode 1 itself is rather unpolished, and although it can be fun, it's not worth the price considering the story will never be resolved.

Уж если ракурсы такое говно, то хоть бы управление говноприставочным бы не делали. А так беда полная. Конечно, быть затраханным симпатичным призраком вроде как и не большая беда, НО... смысл игры был вроде не в этом? А так бегает она быстро (ясен пень, уж она-то не на говноприставке) и целеустремленно (видимо, мужика долго не было, а тут молодое мясо), а тут ты такой... как паралитик. Ну и довольно быстро кончается все этим самым. Короче, как симулятор близких контактов четвертого рода, т.е. траха с призраками, берите, а если поиграть в хоррор хотелось, то... увы... недоделок вагон. Даже с такой скидкой не рек. А жаль, могло бы интересно получиться, если бы лягушатники с камерой и управлением церебральным сексом не стали заниматься!

Сразу скажу что эта игра мне очень понравилась во всех смыслах и сейчас я опишу почему(ну в общих чертах): 1)В ней есть интересная история и сюжет а также хорошо проработанные характеры персонажей. 2)Фиксированные ракурсы камеры на всех локациях(как в первом резиденте)и пусть и устаревшая но приятная графика. 3)Густая атмосфера которая подкрепляется неплохим дизайном локаций,сюжетом а также звуками и музыкой. Итог:Конкретно эта игра является отличным образчиком хорошего и жуткого хоррора(почему же?)да потому что у меня поджилки трясутся когда я в нее играю а все потому что за главным героем гоняется оно(ну такая тварь которая внезапно рядом появляется и дико визжит а потом бежит за тобой и...),короче узнаете когда сами поиграете. P.S.Ну если говорить начистоту то я мог бы написать гораздо больше интересной информации об этой игре но она и так слишком короткая(проходится за 1:30-2:00 часа),поэтому любое слово о сюжете и персонажах является спойлером.

Literally one of the first games I ever bought on Steam. But also the first game to have burned me. This should have been a Steam Greenlight or Early Access game, but instead it came as a "full" game with episodic content. And then it was abandoned. Great concept, great atmosphere, great promise. Janky controls, broken mechanics, and ends just when it started to get really good. As I write this from 10 years in the future, it's because I was all in on this game and totally miss what could have been.
