The Castle of Dr. Hoot

Very solid game, that frog can tell a joke!

I'm so upset at how short this game was, I was able to beat it in roughly 2 hours, and I really would've loved to got to see more about the story. Regardless, this was a great game, I love the Clickteam Fusion type of style that this game has, reminds me a lot of Scott Cawthon's older games, and overall this is just a really great bait-and-switch horror game, I especially love the personality that the characters have, victims of Dr. Hoot in a way. Overall, this game is great, and I would love it if it had more endings or more lore to it! <3

HEADLINES !! THE EPIC MUSIC IS LYING TO YOU!! EEK!! (read below and give me your data) i like the game but its incredibly buggy. i have had to restart the same couple of days due to game breaking bugs such as: -the computer mini game not giving you coins, and trapping you. -dr hoot still having the end of the day speech if he was killed at 3 pm (although you cant progress THROUGH the speech, so you have to close out of the game) -if you click too fast on monday, you can break into a room that isnt unlocked yet -the letter minigame just eats letters sometimes, forcing you to take a strike i also have some personal gripes that arent really the games fault. mostly. -i gave up on even trying to do the astronomy minigame because it made no sense what-so-ever -the games isnt very clear on what your supposed to do at the final sequence when your collecting everyones items -the horror aspect sucks a big amount, its not scary or even unsettling. its just BLAND. i dont think i can name one time in the entire game where i felt scared. -you also cant really lose by having low energy, but i think its intentional. the official dr hoot quiz where you name bones (spooky) is just free energy -why cant i go back to the same minigame twice? i couldnt give miles his associated item because i had completed his minigame and then bought his item, so i had to do dr hoots spelling thingamajig. -why is miles just tails the fox? smart animal child whos good with science and makes robots and has 'miles' in their name? you thought i wouldnt notice? I NOTICED. -ALSO if you get lucky enough, you can farm scrolls and energy in dr hoots bedroom forever. not that energy matters at ALL. the minigames you have to do when he catches you (if he doesnt kill you) just give you more energy, and add more gameplay instead of really being a 'punishment', i wish i got to play them more cough cough all that aside i like the actual gameplay loop. i also like the drawing board, that was my favorite part of the game. i like to do one minigame (which is enough for the entire day, by the way) and then drawing on the board.

the concept and artstyle are pretty nice since it really does give me Scott vibes. the gameplay is mediocre at best. it gets boring after day 4 since you'll just be rotating between the 2 objectively easiest rooms, those being the quiz and spelling one. atleast the knights switch it up a little but they should have more available questions. one nitpick i have about the gameplay is that pretty much punishes you for reading the dialouge, i think it should freeze time while you talk or give you a tutorial day. the horror is fine, hoot himself isnt scary but him appearing during the mini games did catch me off guard a few times. the stuff in the ending with Benny and the whole analog horror stuff is pretty goofy tho. the ending was good, actually. maybe shouldve thought of something cooler for the last secret cutscene to make it actually worth playing the whole game again for but oh well. Game def needs to be polished too, not only did i get stuck in the spelling room once but the hitboxes in the first secret mini games are just annoying. I guess its supposed to be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ but still. I'd give this game a 4/10 or, how Dr Hoot would say, a C-! (i guess)

Great Game, only complaint, needed more dr hoot

Bruce told me to play this game. Bruce was right. VERY cool game if you're a fan of fnaf, walten files, baldi and media alike! The games does have bugs, and I feel like i have found all of them but still was a nice experience! Would hope to see more :D

I Liked the graphics and game design

This game is solid, while it may be short it does provide a good challenge and an interesting story, I would greatly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys a quick moment of scares
