On Dark Terms

I really enjoy this game; has a lot of potential. It's very unique and I love that. When I first played, it was a bit hard (even on easy mode) but i really like the different types of "searching" and "clues". The open-world concept with item-searching is a nice, little reprieve from the hunting areas. It comes across as a more ACTIVE ghost hunting experience with the use of different items and relics (AWESOME), love the different ghost experiences. Have just seen that the creator has updated the game to make training and easy mode more "new player friendly". I've been away a while, but I can't wait to dive into this game again! Enjoy playing on my own and love playing this with others.

Don't be fooled by the negative reviews, the game is great! It is a bit challenging but that is not a bad thing, just more satisfying when you complete the dungeon (as they are called) To make a comparison, I didn't like Phasmophobia, I found it slow and boring- this game moves faster and is more challenging. There is also more to the game than Phasmo (at least the last time I played it) but just in that area; this game is what Phasmo could have been. There is more, some open world hunting for supplies to create items to help you in the dungeon, some room customization so you can decorate your apartment and cat room as you wish. Oh and you play as the cat as well! The price on this game is a steal, it would be a good deal at $20 but is only ~$8. Well worth the purchase price! The only thing I noticed this game is lacking is players, it has open co-op but very few lobbies are being hosted. Hurry up and buy it and help bump up the player-base. This game deserves to be popular. IMO if the genre is already of interest to you, you will love this game. If you have never played this genre but are looking at the store page here and thinking about getting it- DO IT, I don't think you will regret it.

gg bug on bug, getting killed even when you can't get killed, nice job

The game has a particularly bad first-time user experience imo. Doing your first dungeon in the training tutorial mode is exceedingly boring up until the hunt itself because almost all the interesting gameplay mechanics are disabled so it's easy to be really disappointed like "oh.. this is the game?" by that experience. The train station map near the starting apartment is also very small and lacks any sort of atmosphere. I think this is all by design to give first-time players the bare basics before exposing them to the other gameplay mechanics, but for me it just gave the first impression that the game had little to offer and was quite boring. I did have some excitement though, in the form of game-breaking issues with the demon hunt on that tutorial difficulty in the train station every time I attempted it that literally made my whole group rage quit as it seemed unwinnable and nigh impossible to even start the hunt again after the first time. So I would not suggest picking Demon for your first dungeon until that is resolved. So my friend group's first experience with the game was first that it was very boring and then that it was utterly broken. Not a great combo. The game contains spelling errors, objects missing collision, floating objects and placement issues, easily recognizable store assets seen in other games, and is generally unpolished. I think most of that can be waived away by it being in early access and having a single dev, but I'm mentioning it. So after all that negativity... I would definitely recommend giving this game a shot. Once you get through the tutorial/training bits, it actually ends up being a very fun little game. Some of the locations have a pretty good atmosphere and it can create a good sense of tension trying to find your objectives while the corruption level is creeping ever-upwards. The corruption, flash hunts, and embodiments add a lot to the gameplay and make it feel much more like a genuine game than the tutorial makes it out to seem. It's actually great fun just to run around collecting items as a cat even though the gameplay in the "open world" is basically non-existent aside from jumping puzzles - the jumping and movement feels great. It feels more like I'm speeding around playing quake than sluggishly trudging around like in demonologist or phasmo. Death also is easily and quickly reversed so no one is just standing around twiddling thumbs spectating as the dead. Speaking of demonologist and phasmo, don't expect it to really be anything like other "ghost-hunting" games aside from at a broad surface level. There's essentially no deduction/investigation needed to actually identify the entities - you collect hidden objects/evidence in a predetermined order like going down a checklist in order to open a portal where the hunt starts and you have basically a random chance to guess what the entity is based on their abilities unless you use embodiments to narrow the choices down. The fun is in surviving the ordeal or going for speed, not identifying the entity type. It's very different gameplay-wise, but it "feels" in the moment more like Labyrinthine where you're completing objectives and/or puzzles to escape rather than hunting a ghost.

I kind of recommend this, but with a very big note attached to it. So many things about this game are amazing. The graphics are great, the atmosphere is spooky, being a cat is great, and I love that there is an underlying story going on. BUUUUTTTT there a some mechanics, specifically in the dungeons, that make the game more frustrating than fun, especially if dare to try playing on solo. There were way too many tasks given to me to try and do all at once while also trying not to get killed that it felt very overwhelming, especially for the demons and witches. Those abilities changing every few seconds are near impossible to notice by yourself, and it felt like way too much. I do wish the dungeons were simplified, as that is one of the biggest mechanics of the game and personally the spot I found the game to be too confusing and definitely NOT made for one person. It might be more manageable with a group. Other than that, the game has some really fun things going for it. If you have friends and think you are up for a challenge, this game could be really fun for you!

Чет все на куче, есть стандартная кастомизация персонажа и кота, некоторые украшения базы, крафт, смысл игры насколько я понял брать миссии ведьмы, призраки и демоны вроде, как играть я так и не понял, вокруг базы растут грибы размером с дерево, походу из них разработчик черпал вдохновение. За кота можно играть, наш герой в него вселяется. Крч бред какой-то, ходишь вокруг базы берешь в каких то зданиях миссии типа зачистить его, а и оптимизация, 70 фпс и просадки до 10. В игре вроде полно механик, вроде все они работают но все не понятно и уныло

Can't even play the game

The whole concept of this game is cool, but the way they execute giving the information you need to you is poor. It's in the form of paragraph-long descriptions of 4 different types of one thing and you have to remember all of that and then you have to remember how to actually play the game with becoming the cat and other things. There's several mechanics like Flash Hunts, Hallucinations and the event with your corruption bar that you also need to pay attention to although you have never experienced any of it before and obviously you die very quickly and suddenly your friends have to figure out the mechanics without you and you don't end up learning anything because you cannot help your friends figure it out... its just all a mess. I do like the game, but it's a real information overload and I would only reccomend it to someone once the information is delivered in a less scattered and paragraph long way. I do feel like at the moment the only thing the game has got going for itself is the cat feature.

I really like the game, having a lot of fun with it. Buuut at the end of a dungeon it is really hard to figure out which ghost/demon/witch you are dealing with. The, let's say ghost, will do all 4 of the special abilities you can use to figure out which it is and all the game tells you is "whatever ability the ghost uses the most, that's the one ur dealing with" except it isn't. I've played several rounds now, I pay close attention to these abilities during the hunt, even finishing it later than needed just to see what the ghost does the most, and I am most often wrong. Last game I had a ghost that occasionally went invisible, did not use the scythes and coffins as much as I had seen before with other ghosts but it did speed up A LOT. It was pretty clear to me, that's a revenant. I leave the dungeon... it was a wraith, which should do the scythes mostly but it did not do that much at all. The game is fine in every other way (except a little laggy but that can be fixed by setting shadows on low) but finding out the ghost you have... it's just a 25% luck chance cause it is really not clear and the ghost will easily spam the wrong behavior instead of do what it is supposed to do. That part seems to be a pure gamble. So... I do hope this gets fixed, but ignoring that issue, love it and recommend it! Edit: Tho I do think the ghost is way too fast on easy mode, making easy... well, definitely not easy.
