also vom grund auf ein Cooles Spiel sieht echt schick aus allerdings sind die 50 versuche am greifautomaten lächerlich viel. Außerdem gibt es nicht viel was man beachten muss entweder tür,stromausfall oder vent.
I'm on the fence about this one. I'm going to give it a tentative "yes" The game has a fun premise, and the crane game mechanic is well done, but there is too much filler, too much walking that gets super tedious. I made it as far as completing the basement, only to find out I had to get another 25 prizes which must be thrown or walked to the "prize box" in the office, all while having to keep a killer out every few prizes. I feel like it could have been cut down a bit and still been enjoyable. The jump scares and variation of routes into the place are well done. It's gimmicky, and for many might overstay its welcome, but still worth playing if you like indie horror.
Before the crane task started I was quite positive about the game. Good atmosphere, interesting setting. But then the game was destroyed for an unnecessary reason: too much repetition. The game wants you to pick 50(!) items from the crane machine and each of them has to be taken to the basket one by one. This miiiiight still be acceptable if the autosave (there is no manual save) would give you a reasonable amount of safety. Unfortunately, if the intruder catches while working (yes, it is work) on the crane task, you might need to redo significant parts of the work. After two failures I gave up the game.
Honestly a really good horror game. The gameplay loop was pretty fun. Even though you have to get 50 crane game prizes, it never felt like padding, because of the survival element to it. The story is goofy, but not in a bad way. There are minor bugs, such as the doors spazzing out when I am being chased (might be a PC glitch on my end), but none of them were ever game ruining. It's a solid Horror game and I enjoyed my time with it. Also I want to mention how I got TWO PRIZES AT ONCE FOR MY FINAL 2 PRIZES NEEDED!!! IT WAS EPIC!!! It was an axolotl and a loaf of bread if you want to know.
Good short game. about a couple hours in lengt
I screamed a lot xD Great game with a simple concept that kept me hooked!
A very fun little indie horror game. I really enjoyed the concept and man, this caused me so much anxiety and stress in the best way possible. The dread of anticipating the next jumpscare was the most dreadful feeling and kept me going as I inched closer to 50. Every time I got jumpscared it was almost a sense of relief, knowing I could breathe for just a second before I got back into the stress. Very well executed game and didn't overstay its welcome!
Ich würde mir lieber genüsslich in die Eier treten lassen als nochmal irgendetwas aus dem Krahn zu holen, gg
Absolutely loved this one. I work in an arcade for real so this was a no brainer for me to play, and it didn't disappoint! Being able to slap a customer in the game made my day, something I wish I was able to do every single day haha The horror elements were great, I loved the variation of all the different "events" that you had to keep your eyes and ears open for, and the tension that built up towards the end was brilliant. Definitely recommended.
