Wenn ihr deep in der Horrorszene seid, kennt ihr Vidas wahrscheinlich von hier und da - Surrealer Horror der Meisterklasse und auch hier wieder funktioniert alles verdammt gut, Atmosphäre, Traumartige unlogische Umgebungen, ein heftig gut gesetzter Scare, unangenehme shots, extrem gutes Sounddesign und ein warm wohliges Gefühl der Unsicherheit. Als "Spiel" (get it vidas?) wie immer mittelmäßig, aber als Kunstwerk im Horrorgenre genau so genial wie sonst auch - Absolut zu empfehlen, wenn ihr 1000+ Horrorgames gesehen/gespielt habt und auf den gleichen Stuff steht wie ich. Bin verdammt froh, dass die Indie Horror Szene auch 2021 noch verdammt gut befüttert wird. Full Game + Analyse: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9E_goFAf5DI&ab_channel=Corrupted
[h1] Very Loud Noises, Not Much Else [/h1] I look all over Steam for random / unknown Steam games to play. This was one of the chosen titles this week! If you'd rather watch than read, you can do so here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mP7s0Xh8lSo [b] [Thoughts and First Impressions] [/b] This game is 75%+ the same area that you'll be walking through again and again. It's easy way to think of it is if the whole world of 4 or so areas are all one big PT loop. You go through the sequence of places again and again, usually spending most of your time in a large empty warehouse with one other person (and sometimes a spooky shambling ghost). That's gonna be about 20 minutes of your 30 minute playthrough or so. Once you've gone through the big empty warehouse twice you're kind of over it. It quickly just fades into the background of "IM BACK HERE AGAIN" each time. You'll be there some... 4 or 5 times. Maybe more. Oh yea did I mention that parts of this game have EXTREMELY LOUD NOISES? Insanely loud. Almost ear shatteringly loud and I had my volume for the game set to 25. When the scary shambling man chases you, for instance, you are treated to the sound of being in the middle of 3 jet aircraft being launched off of a carrier. It's real loud, in other words. It really takes away from the scariness factor of the game as well. If you are drowning out everything else then I am just not going to be very scared. More for my eardrums than anything else. All-in-all, the game took me about 30 minutes and had some nice areas to explore inside the apartment... but other than that the game was a bit of a loop of not much happening into VERY LOUD SECTIONS into the game ending. I have no idea what happened or what the story was either. That may just be because I'm dumb though, that may not be the game's fault.

[h1]Где же нейтральные оценки, когда они так нужны...[/h1] https://youtu.be/TKJQVY0OpKk Начну с главного - игра не стоит 220 рублей. За 30 минутное прохождение нужно будет найти пару предметов (это совершенно не трудно, учитывая что окружают вас голые стены) и бегать туда-сюда, периодически читая диалоги. Несколько жутких моментов, звуки/музыка больше напрягают и раздражают, чем пугают, какой-никакой сюжет. Играл в некоторые ужастики от этого разработчика и могу сказать, что [b]Parasomnia Verum[/b] на голову выше, но ценник завышен. ----------------------------- Мои [url=https://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198029238071/recommended/] обзоры [/url] и [url=https://www.youtube.com/c/BOLTOREZ] прохождения [/url]
I am a big fan of Vida's games! Everything really worked in harmony here! Damn good atmosphere, dreamlike illogical environments, a fiercely well-placed scare, unpleasant shots, extremely good sound design! It really gave me an uncomfortable feeling! Just wow! Love it!
Found this developer through their contributions to the "Dread X" anthology series, enjoyed it enough to check out some of their other projects. I was stoked to see they had a bunch more little horror games on Steam and decided to pick this one up. There's definitely some solid atmosphere and creepy stuff here, and one very effective scare. However, it's extremely short I mean like 30 minutes short, if this was a game included in another anthology that'd be awesome but on it's own it's kinda underwhelming. The entry fee is really cheap tho and gave me at least one good scare so I think it's worth it. Will check out some other titles by the dev I think i'm becoming a fan. 7.5/10
Honestly this game wasn't very long but it hit the spot that a lot of recent short horror games have been missing and scared the absolute ♥♥♥♥ out of me! I for sure give this atleast a 9/10!
Didn't expect too much out of it but I think I got my money's worth. It was short and super creepy, I recommend you try it out if you want a quick scare!
It's 30 mins. it's worth the price I paid on sale at 20% off? it's not scary, but it's one of those games you wonder what the developer was on when he thought it up, and I still don't understand the watermelons? I wish you were allowed to recommend a neutral score, but I'll put it as a thumbs up because well it's a wtf game am I playing? kind of fun.
Another great title by Vidas Salavejus if you loved his previous games. This one is only 30 minutes of gameplay with one amazing jumpscare and some creepy parts with nice cutscenes. On the negative side, the dark grey textures are kind of lame. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=asN-5qOy9Hs
I adore this game, short and creepy and probably my favorite Vidas game!
