TAXIDERMY

Recommended ONLY for fans of 80's Slashers and the indie horror genre. Well, I finished it. You're an idiot who ordered a bear rug for six thousand dollars and you didn't get it in a timely manner, so you drive out with your [spoiler]trigger-happy[/spoiler] wife to the business you ordered it from and proceed to break and enter to get that bear rug. Takes maybe forty-five minutes to an hour and twenty if you go in blind, I think. Learning enemy patterns, figuring out what buttons open what and where to go next. PROS: -Unique location (A lakeside / mountainside Taxidermy business was an interesting setting) -Unique villains (Again... taxidermists) [spoiler]also, possibly furries[/spoiler] -Doesn't unnecessarily pad out the length -Puzzles, such as they are, are fair enough to figure out -Platforming was manageable -Some story elements were genuinely intriguing -The ending isn't your typical indie-horror ending, which is refreshing. CONS: -The Crap Filter (nevermind the mountainside/lakeside setting, because you'll barely be able to see it. All the edges look like you're watching a 3D movie without the glasses) -Too much platforming -Too dark (alongside the awful filter, your flashlight is almost useless in certain areas) -Abrupt ending ([spoiler]one villain is introduced in the last two minutes. Not as a stinger, just an additional threat. It's weird.[/spoiler] There should've been more here, given the interesting villains. Developer, next time please don't use that horrid filter. I'd like to see more of these villains, and learn more of their backstory, business and victims. If you've got five bucks and an hour to kill, this is easier and somewhat less frustrating than the Northbury Grove games, but also with a lot less lore and story. It pales in comparison to most of the Puppet Combo games as well. Personally, I'm always going to try to support devs that try to create this 80's Slasher vibe, so this was worth the purchase for me, but if you're not into that genre, or if you require a lot of polish, I would recommend you look elsewhere. And please don't drop six grand on a bear rug.

Jogo muito top, pra quem gosta de games indie de terror vale a pena, cagaço garantido hahahahaha Obs: a partir de hoje tenho trauma de corvos e lobos.

Fernando Tits?

Oh dear. Going to put this in the 'not for me' pile. I thought I would be bothered by the dead animals and stuff because I'm ridiculously sensitive to hurt animals, Luckily, they were unrealistic enough that it didn't bother me at all. :) I liked the 80's slasher vibe an awful lot too! Why the down thumb then? Because the graphics did not work with my motion sensitivity at all. There was a 'breathing' motion that was much worse than any headbob I had experienced. So with everything being blurry from the vintage look and the heavy breathing that never ended, it was very difficult to play. And you can't turn the effects off. Ugh. Then there was the AI. I was walking through a brick hallway and I was accosted by what could only be described by fellow gamers as ear r*a*p*e(steam censors the word). Even with the volume on my headset being set to low, this terrible sound blasted into my ears right before the AI killed me. I looked in both directions when the sound happened and couldn't see a thing. Then dead. Yeah. Not really my thing. I'm glad that other folks were actually able to play this all the way to the end, but I can't hang. Sorry frands <3

Its decent for an indie horror game. I do like the 80's Lost footage feeling that you get from it. One thing i do NOT like however, is the really loud music that plays whenever the taxidermist sees you. It is far too loud, and if you want to hear anything in the game, you have to have your volume turned up and sacrifice your ears whenever he sees you

The experience was both fun and messed up, but rough around a few edges. Also, there are some hidden things in the game, even though I didn't manage to find them.

Um produtor de jogos independente que acaba de lançar seu primeiro jogo, tendo isso em mente, minha avaliação é que está excelente! Ressalto os pontos positivos de ter um protagonista realista, pois convenhamos numa situação dessas, não há o que fazer senão correr pela sua vida! A história do jogo, apesar de simples e direcionada, deixa algumas brechas para uma eventual sequência (sem spoilers, claro) onde requer muita atenção do jogador aos detalhes do mapa (localização), mas sem bobear para as adversidades. De pontos contras, na minha opinião, foi o filtro de visual VHS (Vídeo Home System, era o antigo DVD para os mais novos…) que eu entendo fazer parte da estética e atmosfera do jogo, porém sempre me incomodou. Recomendo a todos e cuidado com o lobo!

PT/BR: TAXIDERMY é um jogo que propõe um retorno ao terror clássico do final dos anos 90/começo dos anos 2000, usando de uma câmera em estilo VHS, atmosfera escura, trilha sonora nem sempre presente (o que cria um ar de tensão e "não saber o que esperar"), com direito a armadilhas mortais, um inimigo que não é fácil de prever, easter-eggs e uma temática inovadora como tema principal - taxidermia -, para jogadores que curtem nostalgia, é um jogo que se tornou uma obrigação de se ter na biblioteca da Steam. ENG: TAXIDERMY is a game that brings out the returno of classic horror games from the lates 90's/new 2000's, making use of a VHS tape style, darker atmosphere, a not-always-presente BGM (that masterfully creates tension and a "don't know what to expect" situation"), with the use of death-traps, a pursuer-like enemy that cannot be predicted, easter-eggs and a innovative theme - taxidermy -, for nostalgic players such as I, this is a MUST HAVE game in Steam.

Tell me what I should do in "Crow Room" chapter. I can't help but die with a spear when I interact the big crow's head in the crow room.

Jogo indie raiz. Pra quem curte susto eu recomendo haha
