Maneki's Curse

The primary feature of this game is its bewildering array of rooms and passageways, which you have to memorize your way through to get to the end. It is a short game, taking less than an hour to complete. The premise of the story is explained well, and the key points, when you find them, have well-written narrative. Direction in the game, however, is hard to find. You are left wandering through a huge maze with no hints on what you are supposed to do. It's fun at first, but once you think you've explored every room, it becomes frustrating to look for the one place you've missed. The map is chaotic, where doors act more as teleports, and do not always work in both directions. Enemies appear on the map, and can mostly be avoided, but they usually aren't difficult to beat. If you like complex labyrinths which don't always make sense, you will love this game. If not, at least its short.

Игра "Maneki's Curse" - это атмосферное и жутковатое приключение в японском стиле. Сюжет цепляет с первых минут, погружая в историю о проклятии и поиске правды в старинном доме. Визуальное оформление выполнено превосходно, с вниманием к деталям и созданием тревожной атмосферы заброшенного особняка. Геймплей представляет собой смесь хоррора с элементами головоломок. Загадки интересно решать, они не слишком сложные, но требуют внимательности и логики. Скримеры хоть и присутствуют, но не злоупотребляют ими, больше упор делается на психологическое напряжение и чувство беспомощности. Единственный минус, пожалуй, – небольшая продолжительность игры. Хочется больше исследовать этот темный и загадочный мир. Но, несмотря на это, "Maneki's Curse" оставляет после себя сильное впечатление и рекомендуется всем любителям хорроров с интересной историей и аутентичной атмосферой. Определенно стоит потраченного времени!

It's not as bad as a lot of games I've played, but the map design was not good and that's a critical feature when you start your game with a labyrinth.
