Night at the Office

Grundsolide, ein bisschen schwächer als ein paar der Vorgänger, aber TurnVex hat einfach immer noch ein gutes Händchen für soliden Budget-Horror - Die timings, atmosphäre und permanente Unsicherheit ist einfach immer gut und macht überraschend viel Angst wenn man die (teilweise) goofy Visuals bedenkt Sympathische 6/10 - Wie so ziemlich alles in seinem Katalog für Horrorfans spielbar, gute Mischung aus normalem Indie Horror und ein paar weirden Ideen Full Game & Analyse hier: https://youtu.be/CDsze1aesuA

Another one in the Stanislaw Truchowski's horror series. Night at the Office follows about the same formula as most of his other games. It's a bit longer than usual (Snafu excluded - which was really great in my opinion, just saying). Expect two to three hours for full completion. There's a checkpoint about halfway through the story which also acts as a branch-off point to get all endings, including the 'secret' one. This case, you're on a floor in some office building. There's again some paranormal things going on. Some of the scares are really good, including a few effective audio scares. There's the famous safe again, a few light puzzles and some objects to look for. There's a little bit of aimlessly walking around hoping to find the spot to trigger the next event although most times you'll get a hint as to where to go next. The automated lights 'to save energy' makes everything a bit more scary as you can't see what's coming. That was a nice touch. Liked it. Normally I don't give scores, but to give a fair indication and considering the cost, I'd say it's a fine 7 out of 10. A small hint about the secret ending, because it took me ages to realise something very simple and important: [spoiler]not everything resets after finishing the game and reloading the chekpoint.[/spoiler]

EXCELLENT! This game was creepy in the best possible way. So much Fun and just the right amount of jump scare and gore. Just enough mystery to the story. Bravo can't wait for more!

Review at the bottom. This was actually a surprisingly good game. I seen it only had 20 reviews so i thought it was just gonna be a meh game but i gave it a shot and it was done surprisingly well for such a small game. Audio was pretty well done and the graphics were pretty good. transitions seemed pretty smooth and jump scares got me pretty good. On top of all that the atmosphere was pretty unsettling and had you wondering if something was gonna happen or not. I will say i wasn't able to figure out some of the puzzles and even looked around for about an hour with no progress to try and figure it out. But I couldn't and it seems even people on youtube cant either so good luck with that. Overall I'd rate this game a solid 7.3 out of 10 https://youtu.be/279YqTYpa1c?si=JEr-ymMBY1znCRKc

Solid game. You can really tell how well TurnVex handles timing and atmosphere. Every time I thought I was stuck, something would suddenly happen. The horror was decent at times, even if some parts were quite predictable. The jumpscares were mostly well used. However, the puzzles in this entry were a bit too difficult. For one of the endings I actually had to use a guide. The writing was overall rather weak and not very memorable, but the ending still managed to redeem quite a bit in the end.

Metto positivo per affetto, ma in realtà è abbastanza medio. Per chi non lo conoscesse, Truchowski è uno sviluppatore indipendente specializzato in brevi giochi horror fatti con l’Unreal Engine con asset molto semplici, perciò la formula è più o meno sempre quella. Qui siamo un tizio da solo in un ufficio, dove iniziano a succedere cose... strane, e a comparire dei cadaveri. Cos’è successo? Il gioco dura un’oretta, è diviso in due metà e una volta raggiunto il checkpoint si può scegliere se ricominciare da lì (non ci sono salvataggi altrimenti, ma comunque non si muore, è un’esperienza narrativa). Come al solito ci sono diversi jumpscare, qualche enigma basilare, e spesso la progressione è legata all’aver assistito a quello che deve succedere. A volte gli eventi partono solo dopo un po’, o durano anche fin troppo, perciò si deve pazientare perché non si può fare altro per procedere con la trama. Ci sono un paio di finali diversi, compreso uno dai requisiti davvero criptici, ed è molto improbabile che riusciate a raggiungerlo senza seguire una guida. Per il resto non c’è molto, ci sono solo una manciata di stanze e a volte sembra più un esercizio di stile con i vari asset del motore di gioco che altro. Alcuni suoi giochi precedenti (Suite 776, A Girls Fabric Face) erano molto più lunghi, elaborati e coinvolgenti. Questo è molto basilare, e lo consiglierei solo tipo a 1€ se siete fan di questo sviluppatore o volete avere qualche jumpscare a basso costo, ma non è la sua opera migliore.

the 'true' endings in this guys games are always locked behind outrageously opaque and obscure 'clues' and relies on bad sound design (its way too loud, and too many shrill ringing and alarm sounds, its not fun, its loud and obnoxious) and a repettive game loop that's gotten wrose from his earlier entries. This one is more just 'wander in a PT loop until something jumpscares you while mashing the use key'. The plot is obvious from like 20 seconds in, recycled form the girl with the cloth face basically.

i'm sure it's a good game. But I hit quit by accident and it does not even aske you if you are sure to quit. So i had to start over and that is a big no for me. especially in an horror game where there is no point to start over

Dieses Game gehört für mich zu den besten Indie Games. Du hast über ne Stunde für einen Durchgang, kannst 3 Enden freischalten, lösbare Rätsel, die Steuerung funktioniert, es ist ne creepy Atmosphäre, man versteht worum es in der Story geht und es ist äußerst günstig für den Inhalt. Wenn man sonst nur diese kurzen Horrorgames für das Geld bekommt, in denen dich alle paar Schritte etwas ankreischt, ist dies hier ein tolles Beispiel, dass es auch anders geht =)

Another well crafted horror experience from this developer! Truly terrifying from start to finish. I've played almost every game by Stan, and each one has consistently creeped me out with its setup, sound design and atmosphere. Can't wait to see what he comes up with next!
