MASAGORO

https://youtu.be/cTNTxDvV7sY Have you ever looked at a new horror game and said “Gee I sure hope all I have to do in this game is walk from one room to the other grabbing keys.”? Well then this game is for you! When you first start you might be disillusioned to think that this game could turn out to be great! The graphics are pretty solid. Sound design aint too bad. But holy ♥♥♥♥ it goes downhill very quickly. You'll spend your gameplay walking into the bathroom to get the warehouse key to enter the warehouse to get the office key to enter the office to get the bedroom key to enter the bedroom to get the entrance key and so on and so forth for two hours. Almost the entirety of this game is based on walking into a room, having some kind of weird jumpscare (A skeleton falling, a door falling, a knife falling, a light falling, basically just ♥♥♥♥ falling), picking up a key, then proceeding onto the next area. There are no real threats, nothing actually frightening, and only one enemy and boy is he a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ let down. Throughout the game random wal-mart looking skeletons will fall at you, trip at you, walk through a wall at you, so on and so forth. About half way through the game one of them gets a mask and proceeds to randomly appear and follow you around for a bit. Wanna know how to beat him? Spoiler. Hold your breath...I mean in game not IRL. You hold R and become immune to the demon for a short amount of time. The downfall is the enemy can randomly appear almost directly in front of you not giving you enough time to hit R and requiring you to restart. Make sure you save often. Maybe this game has more significance in japanese culture but regardless its garbage. A boring game of hide and go seek against a set of keys.

open doors and find keys simulator for 2 hours :> nothing more

“昭和初期？の日本の廃旅館を舞台にそこに迷い込んだプレイヤーが民俗学者の資料や、宿泊客・従業員たちの日記などからこの廃旅館でかつて起こった凄惨な事件を追っていくホラーゲーム。 所謂館探索もののホラーだがびっくり演出は少なめなので免疫のない人でも楽しめる。 バッド・トゥルーエンド両方クリアすれば全実績解除となるが難易度は優しめ。

I hate to leave a poor review on an indie game, but honestly this game just kinda sucks. The English translation is the worst i've seen in along time, couldn't make any sense of most of it, and all the story is told via notes/text so gg there. The audio/atmosphere is like none existent as well, and when it is present unfortunately it's hilariously bad screams and no music ect, gameplay is literally just find key to kitchen for example, which the map isn't translated so it's basically useless, then find x key in the next room ect, the only real mechanic in the game, like you can't even sprint or crouch/hide ect it's a two button game, is that you can hold your breath and it's wonky af, got frustrated with it immediately. Masagoro also has no real settings other than "low" or "epic" presets so you can't turn off the blur ect, changing res seems to have no effect, low fps cap... usually i'd just suffer through the 2 hours so I could at least finish the game but I just can't be bothered with this. Not worth, avoid. 1/10

Lo recomiendo mucho

Really tense and creepy atmosphere. The lack of music makes the atmosphere much more unsettling. However, it seemed to focus more on fake-out scares than actual scares. And the dialogue and text were sometimes hard to comprehend because of the way it was translated. I played better horror games, but that doesn't mean that this wasted my time. I wished it had more variety. But if you're the kind of person that likes a quick horror game that delivers on the atmosphere and ambiance then this might be for you.

廃棄された旅館を探索して、ここで起きた出来事を追ってゆく。 迷いながら進めてプレイ時間は2時間ぐらいか。 廃屋の環境がとても良い雰囲気で、木製の床は踏む度に大きく軋む。 これを楽しむのが主旨といってもいいだろう。 プレイ前半は散らばったメモや鍵を拾い集めるのみで危険はないが、 後半は敵が襲ってくるようになる。 といっても出現と同時にRキーを押しっぱなしにしてやり過ごすのみなので操作は簡単。 ランダムで唐突気味に出るのと即反応してRを押す必要があるので運が悪いとやられてしまうが、 セーブも無制限で親切なので難易度は低め。 旅館はちょっと変則的な構造をしていて覚えにくいので、探索面でもやり応えがあってなかなか良い。 カジュアルにおすすめできる一作。

Masagoro é um jogo de terror com uma história extremamente macabra. Diria que esse é um dos pontos fortes do jogo! Levei menos de 2hrs para conseguir os dois finais do jogo o ruim e o bom, o jogo não tem muitos jumpscres não, mas isso não significa que não tem... fique sempre atento kkkk! Um jogo estilo walking simulator dentro de um antigo hotel japonês assombrado, não é um terror pscológico então você pode morrer para os espíritos que assombram o lugar porém o jogo tem um sistema de save incrível que não vai te fazer perder seu tempo. Recomendo para que curte terror japonês, o jogo está todo em inglês o que pode ser um pouco ruim para quem não entende nada do idioma, mas se você entende um pouco que seja com certeza vale a experiência!

Live streamed the game with friends, bloody hell the game is superbly designed; sound effect was the highlight of the game.

暗闇を進む恐怖、キィキィと軋む床、明らかに「何かがあった」不気味な旅館 歩めば歩むほど暗闇に息が詰まり思わず進むことをためらってしまうような恐怖……があったのは途中まで。 クリーチャー役が出てきてから対処方を理解してしまえばあとはもうただの探索ゲー。 唐突に出てくるためびっくりすることはあるかもしれないがそれだけ。 何が出て来るか分からない序盤の雰囲気は本当に良かったのだけれど…… 面白くなる要素は色々あったけど生かしきれなかったのかなぁと感じました。 ホラー苦手なフレンドに送り付けて反応を楽しもう！
