Pet Cam

日本語訳はかなり機械翻訳＆文字化け気味。 かなり短編の、よく言えばプレイアブルムービーのようなゲーム。 そのため、英語でプレイ推奨。悲しいことに消えるのが早いが。 作者の方がかなり几帳面なのか、物を調べるのに毎回ボタン長押しを要求されたり、 ピザを温めるのにリアルタイムで1分待たされたりする。 長い独白が終わるまで進めないことも多く、せっかちな方にはしんどいかも。 ストーリーは正直、よくある話だが、クリア不可能なバグなどがないのは評価点。 ただ、値段を考えるとオススメできない寄りかと思う。

Pet Cam is a short horror game that I found more interesting than I expected because it starts out feeling like an ordinary routine before slowly turning into something much darker. I play as Arya, a woman going through her usual life at home, while strange calls from her father become more and more disturbing. I liked how the game takes something familiar and gradually makes it feel unsafe without immediately explaining everything. The gameplay is mostly focused on exploration and completing everyday tasks. I move around Arya's house, interact with objects and pay attention to environmental details while the story slowly develops. I enjoyed this slower approach because it gives me time to notice changes in the surroundings instead of rushing from one scare to the next. The mysterious location later in the experience also gives the story a different atmosphere. The psychological side is probably the strongest part for me. The game uses Arya's routine and her memories to build the mystery, and I liked piecing together what her past has to do with the strange events happening around her. The horror works better when I am left wondering what is real and what I am supposed to believe, rather than simply being attacked by something every few minutes. The atmosphere is another strong point. The realistic first person presentation works well with the slow burn approach, especially when I am walking through familiar rooms and noticing that something feels increasingly wrong. I liked the contrast between the peaceful start and the unsettling sections later on. It creates a nice sense of progression where the horror grows naturally out of the environment. My biggest issue is definitely the length. Pet Cam is designed to be a very short experience, so there is not enough time for every part of its story to be explored as deeply as I would have liked. The walking simulator structure can also feel limited because most of my interaction involves simple tasks and environmental observation. Some of the scares are effective, but the game does not always build on its ideas as much as it could. The multiple endings do give me a reason to replay it and see how different choices affect the outcome. I liked having that extra incentive because the first playthrough can leave me with questions about what certain events actually meant. The English and Hindi text support is also useful, especially for a game that depends so heavily on following its narrative. Overall, Pet Cam is a compact psychological horror experience with a decent atmosphere and an interesting story setup. I enjoyed the gradual shift from everyday routine into something much more disturbing, and the exploration based storytelling gives the mystery some personality. It is too short and the gameplay is quite basic, but as a free horror game it gave me a worthwhile little experience. Rating: 6.8/10

the pro ending defies any attempts to understand whats actually happening. ive never played a better more egregious example of a game that makes completely confusing and incomprehensible such a clear and obvious premise for a horror game. its kind of awe-inspiring.

노잼 근데 강아지는 재밌었음 개인적으로 고양이와 함께 키워야하는걸 깨닫게된 게임입니다

Die Story ist sehr spannend, aber ein wenig kurz (hund gaming).
