About
The 9th Charnel is a first-person psychological survival horror game. Filled with a rich and frightening atmosphere, this game aims at providing a haunting and desperate action-survival experience. While exploring the many mysteries of this world, you must survive- whether you do it through stealth or by using weapons.
Most of the time, the player has to survive impossible threats through stealth and clever navigation of the environment. As the player progresses through the game and threats grow significantly more complex, the player uncovers new stories and receives new weapons.
At its scariest, the game preys on the player’s anxiety, survival, and Exploration skills. It takes place in a not-so-future world, where people have lost faith in the prosperity of human development, people are selfish, and governments are corrupt.
The 9th Charnel takes the player on a journey through a world filled with terror and suspense. With realistic graphics, an immersive soundtrack, and a captivating storyline, this game offers an unforgettable experience for fans of the horror genre.
In this game, the player takes on the role of Michael J. Jones (one of 6 characters). All the character are well fleshed out, each with their own unique backstory and motivations.
The inventory system allows the player to gather resources and manage their supplies, while the weapon combat and stealth mechanics keep the player on their toes.
As the player progresses through the game, they will encounter various puzzles and challenges that test their survival skills and their ability to think on their feet.
With a heavy focus on story, The 9th Charnel offers a rich, narrative experience that will keep players engaged and on the edge of their seat.
Michael and his colleagues - Nadia and Daniel J. Hart- are genetic scientists at The Epsilon Research Institute. In one of their curriculum, they decide to conduct research at the nearest wildlife sanctuary. On their ill-fated journey, they encounter an inconceivable incident. As a result, their car rolls down the road into a deep valley-type area. Stuck in a valley, alone, Michael must find his friends and survive multiple dangerous life-threatening incidents that lead them to believe that the place has a history of evil activities. To see the fate of the three friends, play to the end.
Overall, The 9th Charnel is a horror game that combines intense atmosphere, strategic thinking, and a gripping story-line to create a truly unique gaming experience.

What in the hell did I just play
游戏前半部分感觉还不错 越往后玩越熟悉 全是素材库里的建模 你卖个70多块钱的游戏 你还这么糊弄我 是不是拿我当日本人
The 9th Charnel ist ein absoluter Fiebertraum xD Ich habe es kostenlos erhalten und hatte wirklich Spaß damit. Am besten wäre ein neutraler Daumen, weil es wirklich kein Top-Spiel ist und ziemlich teuer. Allerdings find ich es echt nicht scheiße, sondern hab es in einer Sitzung durchgejagt^^ Die allgemeine Story hab ich nicht wirklich verstanden. Von den einzelnen Charakteren war es aber gut nachvollziehbar und teilweise echt spannend. Es hat sich zum Schluss extrem gezogen und man wollte einfach nur noch fertig werden. Aber ich hab es auch komplett durchgespielt und hätte das Gefühl mich nicht gehabt, wenn ich ne Pause gemacht hätte. Das Ende war....keine Ahnung. Es kam dann doch so plötzlich und hat es noch verwirrender gestaltet. Ich liebe Trash-Indie-Horror und bin kein Maßstab bei sowas. Darum empfehle ich es mit Vorsicht und nicht zum Vollpreis.
Je trouve les gens un peu dur avec le jeu pour pas grand chose, oui il y a un passage au début où le son est fort suffit de baisser à ce moment là ( échap > sons ). Oui le premier chapitre est un peu etrange il faut aller plus loin pour commencer à voir le potentiel du jeu qui est : Une tres bonne histoire, de la flippe au top et différent types de passages avec des casses tetes, combat, fuites, cache cache et screamer. Du coup si vous jouez allez au moins au chapitre 3 ou jouez 1h50 minimum pour savoir si ça vous convient ou pas. Le bémol est son prix mais comme tous les jeux d'horreurs, sont toujours bien plus cher que sa durée de vie mais perso vu la flippe que j'ai eu ça convient à mon coeur xD Pour moi ce sera un 7/10 <3
Overall, good game. For an indie horror game, I didn't have high expectations, but this was really good for what it is. I will say, I think $20 is a little steep, but considering the people that helped the dev create 4 hours of content, I can understand it. This almost reminded me a little of Outlast 2 with a bit of combat, except I had high expectations for Outlast 2 and did not like it. As to be expected for an indie horror, the game was a little janky but it was humorous and didn’t hinder the story or gameplay. There was one segment at the beginning where it sounded like I just walked into an IMAX theatre (not in a good way), but other than that, the game was great! Definitely recommend if you like horror and enjoy the jank of indie horror.
It was really special moment I will never forget, nice game, for 10 euro I would recomend to buy it. But for 20, nope.
什么垃圾游戏 保险丝死活找不到第二根
i like the grafiks and de mood and sounds in that game the rest is ♥♥♥♥ worst game EVER
