Peekaboo Collection - 3 Tales of Horror

楽しいゾ。

Peekaboo Collection es una muy buena opción de hacerse con 3 interesantes juegos de terror a un precio más que apetecible.

Very creepy atmosphere, fun to play

虽说画面是作者一贯以来的浓厚风格，但3个小游戏真的十分精良，玩法、氛围和恐怖要素样样具备。 属实是惊喜。

Ok, I will admit, after playing through Theater unrest, I no longer had too many hopes for this bundle and was kinda worried for the rest, but I came back the next week and started off with Balavour, and found it to be interesting and exciting and actually have a good concept and terror to go with it (would make a great plot line for a short scifi movie as is). It definitely redeemed the bundle! Afterwards I played through Solumcess, a true run-through on a very terrifying adventure while trying to figure out the messages you receive on the recorder while staying alive! Another great game, and made the bundle well worth the investment! I recommend the bundle, there will definitely be something in it you will end up liking!

Enjoyable little collection of horror games. I'd recommend to play them in order, left to right. First one, Theater Unrest, is probably the best. It was definitely the most extenstive, and the groundhog day-esque approach works really well, and it had me on edge and creeped out on more than one occasion. Balavour is okay, but it's pretty much the low-point I think. It has the most story but it also seemed the most straightforward and the "normal world" actually expose how ugly the graphics in these games can be instead of hiding it behind a wall of grime. And the last one, Solumcess, was intriguing enough. Definitely the weirdest of the bunch, and I'd recommend once you complete it to dive back in and get the last two endings. It only takes a couple of minutes as the way to get the other endings becomes obvious when you complete the game the main way. Will definitely be checking out more of Vidas's games.

Habe bisher aus der Collection nur Theater Unrest gespielt und kann es euch nur empfehlen! Ich mag alle Spiele, die ich bisher von Vidas Games gespielt habe und freue mich schon auf die nächsten Spiele aus der Collection! https://youtu.be/I0MX4DyMpcY

Disclaimer: I used to know the developers. The Peekaboo Collection is an anthology of 3 different horror games by the same developer. For better or worse they're entirely separate stories with no explicit connections (though there are some overlaps with other Vidas games mythos in at least one of them). Theater Unrest is excellent. It's surreal and very creepy. It's based on a creepypasta and I think it knocks it out of the park, making it its own. It intrigued me with its surreal elements and made me deeply uncomfortable. Which really are the 2 checkboxes that really matter to me when it comes to horror games. It does that thing where you're navigating the same environment over and over and stuff keeps getting worse. It does it really well, it got much worse and I had not a moment of comfort or relief. I was sweating bullets and barely made it to the end. Good stuff. Balavour is the weakest entry in the collection in my opinion. It's actually still pretty neat and about as creepy as I could imagine a game about plants to be to me. But I think it suffers a little bit from a pacing issue. It's a bit rushed and no suspense can really be established, and the emotional hooks didn't really sink into me. The action elements present reduce the scariness of the game but raise the entertainment value. On the other hand, it's still conceptually interesting and is worth the 20 minutes it takes to finish it. The ending is pretty cool. It's fun, it doesn't overstay its welcome, but I think it could definitely be better with some extra polish. Now Solumcess is something else. A highly abstract, surreal, disturbing adventure. It's really weird, full of discomfort and is almost like horror poetry. I think that's the best way I can put it. It has a lot of symbolism and various charged emotional sentiments, half of which seem familiar and the other are quite alien and hard to place. It's a very alien experience. Alien horror poetry. Very memorable and it certainly got under my skin. It's an easy recommendation for anyone who likes weird unsettling stuff.

Update: Now rhat I have olayed all three tales, I can definitely say its worth the money. Every story is different as far as mechanics and, obviously, story line. They do not relate to one another. Some are also longer than others, but all very fun to play. I would suggest playing Balavour first, followed by Theater Unrest and then Solumcess. That is just based off of horror scale, Solumcess being the best out of the three... at least in my opinion. Anyways, loved it. You'll probably enjoy it if your looking for some shorter games to play.

It has some good jump scares so far! It's not complicated and each tale you can finish in one sitting. If you like short horror games, its worth the money to give it a try!

Filthy little game.
