Có vẻ như vẫn còn quá nhiều lỗi sau nhiều bản update, nghiêm túc mà nói thì nhà phát triển nên delay tựa game này thay vì ra game trong khi còn quá nhiều lỗi, đặc biệt là về cuối game thì tối ưu hóa đồ họa rất tệ, giảm FPS nặng, cốt truyện thì chưa giải quyết được mọi thứ, như đám quái vật từ đâu ra, số phận cô em gái bỏ lửng, thật sự thì mình ủng hộ sản phẩm, nhưng thật sự mà nói nó làm mình nghĩ mình đang bị scam 1 cách trắng trợn thì đúng hơn, có vẻ như đội ngũ phát triển lấy cảm hứng từ Silent Hill và Alan Wake nhưng không tới, tính kinh dị cũng....từ thấp đến gần như không có vì ngay cốt truyện chưa dứt điểm được và để hổng rất nhiều, đây chỉ là 1 trong rất nhiều vấn đề, mình yêu và rất muốn ủng hộ sản phẩm Việt Nam, nhưng sau vụ này mình sẽ phải nghĩ rất kĩ trước khi mua 1 sản phẩm như thế này :(
[h1][b]Это настолько неумело, настолько криво, настолько глупо, что даже смешно.[/b][/h1] [h1]Сюжет действительно удивил дважды. Не так как хотелось.[/h1] Мне понятно что хотел сделать сценарист. Кучу сюжетных неожиданных поворотов. Но видимо свой же сценарий после написания не перечитывал. Вышел бред с миллионом сюжетных дыр. В начале мы казалось бы разгадываем тайну призрака дорог, мне вообще казалось что это вьетнамская городская легенда. Тут и призрак и детектив и вообще хрен пойми что. А под конец такой шизо трип начинается, будто сценарист понял что прошлые наработки фигня и начал делать заново, но прошлое не выкинул. Из-за чего первая линия сюжета не заканчивается, вторая похожа на репрезентацию "Дети, не фигачте траву", а на тонны вопросов ответов нет: откуда монстры(?), что с сестрой(?), что за призрак(?) и прочее останутся без ответов. [h1]У каждого клона Резидента есть фишка. Обычно плохая.[/h1] Геймплейно у нас тут сурвайвл хоррор. Из оружия у нас аж один пистолет на всю игру и топор. Есть слот под третью пушку, но разработчик видимо забыл добавить её. Патронов и хилок раскидано в мега избытке. Врагов видов 3 на игру, действуют одинаково, по сути вообщем один тип врагов. Боссов тоже нет кстати. Но главная фишка это бабочка. Зачем? Ну враги невидимые и можно увидеть разве что силует. Можно либо фигать по невидимым уничтожая свои глаза с местной системой освещения, либо использовать бабочку и аж на секунд 10 может увидеть их. Но у бабочки такой долгий каст, что вам обязательно вломят звиздюлины если за вами уже бегут. Насколько это интересно? Сомнительно. Есть головоломки, по сути 2 на игру. Треш трешовый, особенно вторая. Лучше бы не было. Игра сама по себе линейная. Но проблема что игра не стесняется кинуть вас на длинную дорогу, где тупо надо бежать. Вообще ничего не происходит, а отрезок с университетом идёт минут 10, просто бегать, офигеть. Можно говорить с НПС, только для сюжета. И кстати, хоррора здесь нет, страшно не будет, расходимся. [h1]Технический кринж.[/h1] Графика в игре страшная. Текстуры ужас, лица ну на уровне Деймар 1998, свет вообще багует постоянно, что дико мешает играть. И дальность прорисовки просто пушка, ничего не видно. Я понимаю что инди, но ща и инди выглядят зачастую приятно. Но кстати в игре есть постановка, для такого проекта даже не плохо. А вот баги интересные. Прям ничего странного не было, оптимизация впринципе нормально. Но мне повезло сохранится во время геймплея флешбека, после следующего запуска игры она меня сразу кинула в основную игру, скипнув кусок сюжета и минут 10 уникального геймплея, спасибо! Впервые сейв не откатывается, а.. подкатывается? [h1][b]Итог: к сожалению нет. Видно что старались, но вышло слабо, что сюжетно, что геймплейно. А баги и визуал добивают. Крайне слабый проект.[/b][/h1] [code][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/11769719/]Надо больше обзоров на самые разные игры? Подписывайся на куратора![/url][/code] [h1]Что понравилось и нет.[/h1] + 1) Начало сюжета. 2) Постановка для проекта такого уровня хороша. - 1) Сюжет не закончен и рваный. 2) Геймплей. 3) Враги. 4) Головоломки. 5) Баги. 6) Графика.
Mình tạm thời không nói đến yếu tố đồ họa trong game. Có thể tạm thời chấp nhận việc studio thiếu kinh phí dẫn đến việc game có [b]rất rất nhiều[/b] lỗ hổng. Đầu tiên là việc không có một chút sự giải thích rõ ràng trong đoạn nhà xác ở bệnh viện, sau đó mình cũng không rõ là con bướm đến từ đâu, tại sao nó lại đến giúp mình (thà để cho ông lão gửi con bướm đến giúp mình thì plot cũng vớt vát được phần nào, và rồi dễ dàng phát triển tiếp), xong đến đoạn cuối game mình cũng đã kì vọng việc trùm biến thành quái khổng lồ (vừa là một cơ chế + cốt truyện rất cũ và lười nhưng hiệu quả nhất) thì hắn cũng chỉ đứng bắn (mãi mới nhận ra vì nó bắn trượt và tệ hơn là mình còn tưởng đấy là bắn hỗ trợ mình) và quan trọng hơn là mình còn chẳng phải làm cái gì cũng thắng???? Câu hỏi quan trọng nhất khi chơi xong là "Em gái mình đâu???" Một phần nho nhỏ về đoạn đua thuyền, mình sẽ hiểu đoạn đấy các bạn muốn theo style kiểu psychology horror nhưng mình cảm thấy chỉ để cố nhồi nhét thêm vào cho đỡ trống trải. [b] Tóm gọn lại[/b] [u]Plot game như trong đoạn phát hiện chất cấm, khá nhiều lỗi cần được sửa, rất nhiều tính năng cần phải được cải thiện thêm. Thành tựu không có giá trị nội tại (chả hiểu để làm gì, là tôi tìm được xong để đấy à?). Không hề đáng 180k một chút nào.[/u]
game lore on crack, makes no sense, lots of bugs, bad graphics, tons of indie game with same or lower price is 100x better
Game khá hài và thú vị. Phần combat thì hơi nhàm chán, bấm Q mãi mà hồ điệp không bay ra :( Phần đua vịt quá khó :( Cái kết của game tôi chẳng hiểu gì cả :D Nhưng vẫn là 1 trong những game Việt gần đây mà tôi thấy hay nhất. Chúc team gặp được nhiều thành công và may mắn hơn trong tương lai. Và cố gắng fix những bug trong game cũng như là cập nhật thêm cho cốt truyện ạ.
Recommended to me by someone who reads my reviews, I'm always up to play Asian indie horror games, as they're my favorite genre. You play as a man who gets in a car accident with his mother and younger sister in the car. Upon waking up he watches his sister get abducted by a female entity. While looking for your sister (cause f whatever happened to your mom), you uncover a plot of murder, corruption, and cover-up to put spirits to rest. Enemies are "invisible" until you get your butterfly to reveal them. Once you get this mechanic down, combat is smooth and fun. The only part of this game that sincerely kinda pissed me off is the paddle boat sequence that you must complete (and win) in order to progress in the game. I had to use both the keyboard AND controller at the same time to move correctly and fast enough to win. This sequence did not fit at all with the game. Absolutely terrible section. You can watch the 26-minute struggle at: https://www.twitch.tv/videos/2133465196 Overall I enjoyed this game. It has its flaws but was entertaining. PROS: * Beautiful environment * Fully voice acted in Vietnamese with English subtitles (and other languages) available * Creepy atmosphere * Engaging storyline * Lots of bullets! * Many save points * Fun puzzles that weren't too difficult to figure out * Your health items are Ramen Noodles! * Mostly full controller support (had a little bit of issues, but it worked out) CONS: * F THE BOAT SEQUENCE. WHAT A HORRIBLE BOTTLENECK * Text moves too quickly (and automatically) for those of us that read slow (raises hands) * Seriously abrupt ending that was rather disappointing and I wasn't expecting * I didn't fully understand the controls (especially sending out the butterfly -- FYI it's the Q button to send out AND recall) and there isn't an in-game manual or control settings you can look up * Melee combat seemed a bit wonky * The story goes from finding your sister and mom, to just your sister, to figuring out what happened to the "Taken Soul" entity and f what happens to your family LUL. Luckily the "Taken Soul" plot gets resolved but your family plot is left with a bit of holes from a (what I felt like) was a rushed ending * I fell through the world once in the cave system OOPS https://www.seravium.com https://twitch.tv/seravium
**I plan to keep an eye on this game for updates so that I can hopefully change my review to a thumbs up someday. It always makes me sad to leave a negative review.** This is a tough thumbs down to give. :( I really wanted to like this game as a lover of the horror genre. Unfortunately for me, it was too buggy to get beyond the first chase sequence. The only reason that my achievements say 100% is because they glitched out when I picked up the red thermos within the first 10 minutes of the game. Examining that somehow unlocked all the other items without me having to go look for them. Which, I don't mean to complain about free game completion, but it feels weird because I didn't earn it haha. :P Anyway, the game started off looking very promising. The graphics were solid and clean, the story was off to an alright beginning, but then I hit a wall with the first combat/chase/survival area. I used my health packs since having full health allows you to move quicker and without the limp that you start with, but I died because I clipped into a wall and got stuck. No big deal, graphical glitches happen. I was given the option to start from the checkpoint so I did. My health was full and I had no health pack thingies, but was somehow moving slow again with a limp so I couldn't complete the chase sequence since the hospital guards kept catching up to me and beating me to death. So I started the game over, painfully walking with a limp until I can get to the health packs again and I managed to get all the way through the chase sequence-- almost. At the end of it, there was nowhere to go and no indicators to lead the way so I just stood there and died. Feels bad. :( I tried a third time to see if there was something that I missed anywhere with the same result. No bueno. This game really needs to have more visual cues indicating direction. At least I got it for 50% off, I guess. It looks like there were some people able to get through the bugs, but it looks like being able to complete the game for most is up to a flip of the coin. Purchase at your own risk darlings. I'm all for supporting indie game development, but this one is pretty rough and in need of some polish. Sorry </3
A family has a car accident and we are tasked with findin' em. When we awaken at a local hospital things aren't as they seem. The game starts off simple enough but soon as I entered a chase area it got a bit oop. Couldnt figure out where to go in order to escape lol. Still I am intrigued enough to continue. The price tag is not too bad. Gameplay Impressions: https://youtu.be/CemZNNyRRh0
I am going to be a bit blunt here. I usually am very supportive of any indie game and especially Asian horror game, I think that is the best type of horror and hence when it was recommended on my Facebook page, I bought it without second thought. Turns out, the game is buggy, badly optimised, and there's also lots of issue with UI/UX. I'll just give a few examples: (spoiler alert) -The first time after I got the gun, I did not even get cut scene that tells me how to use the butterfly magic, and after I felt down the stairs I was permanently set into a Michael Jackson Smooth Criminal 45 degree pose. I had to restart the level to actually fix it. -At the late stage after I went into the iron fence to look for the shaman, any weapon was held in a weird way with my arms twisted and weapon floating at the side. Fortunately it did not affect the gameplay, but still looks very weird towards the end. -At the final level where the main character went to station, the FPS dropped significantly from 60 fps to bellow 30. There were also quite some misc bugs that I just did not even bother to remember. It's almost like the game was released without even testing from start to finish. I will not seek refund in this case since I still want to be supportive of your studio in developing a game with a South Easter horror theme, but still you have a long way to go to make a decent game.
