Mike was Сursed

I love walking simulators, psychological horror/suspense stories, and I'm a sucker for trippy surrealist visuals (whether paranormal, sci-fi, or comedy in theme). This game just doesn't do much well. It handles poor. Sometimes I couldn't tell if lighting was glitched or if it was done for some weird effect. The sound design and graphics are okay, but this game just goes for poor jump scares. 3 of them bad ones, 2 of them would have been okay if animated better. Only the first 2 got me to jump. Animation and voice acting isn't good enough to be unsettling in the environment, so jump scares were the only active point of horror. It took me 50 minutes to beat, and I opened every drawer (lots of them, only 2 with anything in them and they are story related). You can probably cruise through this in 30. There is a chapter system so you can skip parts you played already, nice feature. The ambient sounds and music are also cool. The Neuro Crash song on the laptop (changing in game music was also a cool feature for that segment), was a jam, and fun to listen to through the hallways segment. It completely broke the suspense vibe it was going for, but it was a lot more fun. I got this for 1 dollar, I can't say it's worth the time spent. I'm just going to grind the game for cards at this point.
